born. Later Mr.. Martin was mar
ried to Mrs. Mohler of the Lemon
Hill vicinity. She had three chill
dren. These two boys were reared

with grief. Besides his father, step
mother and step-brother named, are

er tank apparatus, built by Ameri-
can LaFrance and Foamite Indus

pacity, on test here it pumped a to-
tai of $50 gallons of water per min
ute. This apparatus is capable of
pumping through a layout of $500
feet of hose, if necessary. After
demonstrating the lifting ability,
ETC., while pumping from the river,
the apparatus was taken up to a
dead end hydrant where the natural
hydrant pressure was only 10

Concerning Church Matters

Rev, C. S. Nickerson, D. D., who
is residing at Center Bend, has sup
piled the last few Sunday mornings,
in the pulpit of the local Presbyte-
rian church, which is at this time
without a regular pastor. At the
close of last Sunday mornings SER
vice he called the members of the
session present, in an informal con-
ference with him concerning the To-
cal church, also the Bristol and
Deerfield Presbyterian churches with
which he has had some communica-
ton.
The matter in hand was in rela-
ton to fixing schedule for preach
ing services that might prove satis-
factory to all, in case other matters
should also be adjusted, lookings to
a possible union of the churches in
reference to regular pastoral ser,
vice, which has been discussed
somewhat in recent months.
No definite official action has been
taken along this line.

State To Approve school plans

County uperintendent f. A. Dav-
is was in Columbus Tuesday, TAX
ing with him plans for the proposed
new central, grade school building
in Bloom township, which he sub
mitted to the state department Of
education. The board suggested
some minor changes in the plans,
but assured Mr.. Davis that the plans
would be approved and that they
could proceed with the grading and
foundation at once. This building
is to be 60x32 feet, two rooms, with
library. 1t is to be constructed so
far as possible from the material in
the Stony Point, Borders and Pisgah
school buildings. unless the board OF
education can sell these buildings
for cash at a better advantage than
to work over the material in a new
building. The site selected is on
land of the Durbin heirs, at the
top of Tunnel hill, at the intersec-
tion of the Tunnel hill and Zanes-
VILE roads

GREAT CROWD ATTENDS THE
GRANGE PICNIC HELD HERE

VII ldob ! LII july 30 JlG
oranges Of Washington, Perry and
Morgan counties picnicked on the
Morgan county fair grounds. An es-
innate of 500 people were on the
ground. The forenoon was spent
getting acquainted, pitching horse
shoes, volley ball. etc; also prepar-
ing dinner in floral hall, which was
served cafeteria style to over 500
people.
Promptly at one O'Clock the aud
fence was called together in the
grandstand and a fine program was
rendered by the different oranges,
commencing with music by an or
chestra of Morgan county grangers.
This was followed by reading Civ
en- by Opal Mills Of Roxbury grange.
The next was music by an orches
ira. At this time the Overseer of the
state grange, c. A. Dyer, and wife,
arrived. Mr.. Dyer was then intro
duced, and he proceeded to address
the audience. Mr.. Dyer and wife
were in a wreck that morning on
their way to our picnic, and he had
not recovered from the shock, and
therefore while giving his address
he was laboring under quite a
strain from the effects of the Incl
dent
He called the attention of the
audience to the necessity of coopera-
tion. He spoke of the Bender
amendment, said he did not believe
it would be placed on the ballots
this year. as Cleveland chamber of
commerce would not support it. He
dwelt upon taxation and the taxa
tion amendment, showing that we
need a better taxing system There
are but few farmers know that the
banks have refused to pay their
taxes this year. This will result in
loss of taxes in the state, of thou
sands of dollars. In Morgan coun-
ty alone it will be $11,643.64. This
money will have to be raised by
some other source. His speech was
followed with music furnished by
Morgan county orchestra, next
reading by Mrs. Porter of Champion
grange.
Mrs. Dyer was then introduced.
She did not come to make any
speech, but was prevailed upon to
make a few remarks more in the
way of an Introduction. She spoke
of the fellowship among grangers.
especially in the hilIy sections of
the state. Mrs. Dyer was raised in
a hilly county, and we believe re-
tains Jackson county as her home.
although she and husband have been
living in Columbus for a few years
past.
Mrs. Dyer was followed with mu-
sic by the Waterford old time fid-
dlers. The next was a short play,
Safety First" given by Lowell
grange. Lowell grange is a new
grange not a year old, but it is one
of the live oranges of Washington
county. Since it was organized they
haye taken in % new members.
The play was followed with a read
ing, of Barlow grange; song, Her
bert Bankes of Champion grange:
harmonica duet, from Watertown
grange; recitations by Marjorie
Taylor, Forest Bankes, Ruth Moody
and Dorothy Taylor, all of Cham
pion juvenile grange; songs by Mar
jorie and Dorothy Taylor, Forest
and Carleton Bankes, also of Cham
pion juvenile grange, interspersed
with instrumental music. Several
pieces were then played by the or
chestra.
Thus ended the day of enjoyment
with many wishing that it could be
made an annual affair.-XX.

had been baggage master on the
local railroad, from Parkersburg to
GAINESVILLE, was found dead Wednes-
day afternoon in the baggage car OF
the south bound train. AT Fair Oaks

performing his regular duties.
When the train arrived at Philo and
the baggage car door was not open
ed as customarily, an investigation
was made and he was found dead
in the car sitting at his desk. Death
is believed to have been due to
heart failure.
Mr.. Cook was about 81 years OF
age. His home was at Parkersburg,
and during his long railroad SER
vice he had made many friends in
the Muskingum valley, who will
learn with sorrow of his passing.
The body was taken on to Parkers-
burg on the afternoon train.
