Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary

eth
The words of Isaiah, quoted
above, are particularly applicable to
the Rev. Don G. Coburn, Grand Old
Man of Methodist Professionalism,
who, with Mrs. Coburn, is guest
of the Rev. and Mrs. S. R. Martin a.
the First NJ. P. parsonage. DR.. and
Mrs. Coburn have ccome to Zanes-
vile at the urgent request of friends
for the celebration of their 5Oth
wedding anniversary. This will not
actually take place, until next month,
as they were married Oct. 13, 1881.
The celebration was moved forward
because the weather is more favor
able this month, making the journey
easier from the home of the Coburns
at Westerville. 1t is fitting that this
celebration should be held in Zanes-
vile, for DR.. and Mrs. Coburn are
responsible in large measure for the
splendid M. p. church and parson-
age which were erected during DR..
Coburns second ministry in this
city, which extended over period
of II years. The church was dedi-

preaching the dedicatory sermon.
: The church and parsonage were
built at a cost of $4,000, and
building material was much cheaper
then than now. The congregation
had no wealthy members and the
J. largest subscription was 500.
DR.. Coburn was sent to this pas
torate from Steubenvi1le, where he
was receiving $500, anti the salary
here was only $500. He was sent
by the Church Extension society
with the terse command, Build il
up or shut it up" The command
to build was fulfilled in abundant
measure, and for generations tC
come the church and parsonage will
stanE as monument to DR.. and
Mrs. Coburn, for the latter shared
in ali her husbands plans and ac-
tivities. He pays her the tribute OF
saying that she was the better hal.
of the team.
When the church was built there
were two NJ p. conferences in Ohio
the Muskingum and Ohio This
station was in the Muskingum con.
ference, and until it's merger with
the Ohio conference, the new church
was the conference home at every
annual gathering, and the congreea.

BOotleggers To Work On Roads

county have reached an aeror =, 1T
whereby bootleggers, and those >

are to work on the county roads It
is stated that the prisoners are not
to be placed under armed g-'c -.

The prisoners are to be allowed ST.
40 per day to apply on their fines,
which is the regulation labor sched-
ule of the county. They will work
eight hour shifts, and meals will be
served as usual by the sheriff. 1t
is stated the work will be so arrang-
ed that it will not be taken from
needy unemployed men of the coun.
ty. 1t is believed that the new work
plan will make bootlegging, whisky
peddling and other similar crimes,
less desirable to those who have
been engaging in same.

THE MORGAN COUNTY FAIR

(By H. F. Eaton, County Agent
A crowd of 1000 paid admissions
TO the county fair on Thursday must
have felt that the exhibits and at
fractions were worth the price OF ad-
mission. The rain on Wednesday
morning marred the crowd on that
day, though races were held In the
afternoon. and sizable crowd was
on the grounds by 2 p. m.,. getting
larger as the afternoon wore on.
Nature was as bountiful this fall
as anyone could wish, and the ex,
hibits reflected this abundance. All
available space was filled and five
carpenters were busy on Tuesday
building additional pens, shelves
and tables which by Wednesday
| morning were to groan under the
weight of high class products of the
farm.
No attempt is to be made in this
resume of the fair, to name each
premium winner in the hundreds Of
classes exhibited in. Especially is
this true of floral hall with it's thou
sand and more individual exhibits.
Suffice to say that floral hall with
! it's fruit and grain and vegetables
presented a bountiful and satisfying
sight to all who viewed it.
| The grange and womens club
exhibits were beautifully arranged
and decorated, and one would travel
a long way to find more complete or
higher class exhibits than these.
The grange exhibits were graded as
follows: Westland, Pennsville, Fair
view, Neelyville and Todds. In the
| juvenile grange exhibit, Neelyville
won first with a splendid exhibit,
but no competition. The women's
clubs finished in the following or
der: Never Silent club, Friendship
| Circle. The fancy work was up to
educational exhibits including grade
school, high school, home eco
nomics. vocational agriculture and
All clubs.
The new arrangement of display
ing the All clothing exhibits num-
abled each article to be shown al,
most in it's entirety, and met with
the favor of club members and par
ents The All food exhibit was
larger than ever before, with quail
ity reported as excellent by the
judges A complete list of Al
grades will be found elsewhere in
this paper.
Some of the Winners
The sheep show was larger than
ever before, with additional pens
having to be constructed under a
tent to provide adequate pen room.

Since the merger of the Ohio and
Muskingum conferences under the
name of the former, the conference
is held annually at Sabina.
The stupendous work in connec-
ton with the building of the church
and edifice practically wrecked the
health of Dr. Coburn. He gave the
best years Of his life to this task.
While looking after the material
side of the church DR.. Coburn did
not neglect the spiritual, and when
he left, the congregation was spirit
ually, numerically and financially in
strong position.
When DR.. Coburn and Emma Null
ton were united in marriage at the
home of the latter's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John Mutton, near Beverly,
he had been in the ministry less
than a year and was supplying at
Pisgah. The officiating ministers
were the Rev. T. F. Phillips of the
Beverly M. e. church. and the Rev.
G. w. Hissey of the M. p. church,
this city.
DR.. Coburn's first assignment, af-
ter marriage, was to the GAINESVILLE
circuit, which had eight churches.
The Rev Mr.. Hissey was senior
preacher and DR.. Coburn was known
as 'the boy preacher" After their
marriage, DR.. and Mrs. Coburn es-
tablished their home at McConnels-
Vile. but when appointed to the
GAINESVILLE circuit they moved to
Gratiot. The circuit included ap
pointments at Springfield chapel
Oak Grove, Roseville, Meadow
Farm, Gratiot, Brownsville, Brushy
Fork and Pleasant chapel. 1t took
him a month to cover the territory
preaching twice every Sunday, al
ternating with DR.. Hissey.
From here DR.. Coburn was sent tC
Attica, where he remained foul
years; then to Sandusky circuit
where he spent two years. DR.. Co
| burn was then transferred to the
Michigan conference and was sta
toned at Adrian, where the Metho
|
He was there four fruitful years
and, returning to this conference
he was appointed to Steubenville
where he spent four successful
years. He was then sent to this
city and after terminating his pas
torate here of II years, he supplied
at Wellsville one year. Then ht
was assigned to Toronto, where hi
served three years, and from there
to Mt Vernon, where he enjoyed {
tirement seven years ago. DR.. an6
Mrs Coburn moved to Westerville
where they have since resided. Fol
period Of Is months DR.. Coburr
supplied at the First M. P. church
Columbus.
When Mrs. Coburn was asked
well after SO years, how have yo,
liked being a preachers wife," the
answer came without hesitation
'It has been sweet all along the
way" AS an afterthought, She
said "Of course, we must take tbs
bitter with the sweet, but as l lOof
back over the years, it all seem:

COST OF TIRES
EXTREMELY LOW
STATES HATTON
Ham Fisher

There is no reason why anybody
should risk their life with old tires,
when they can buy a tire of good
quality at a very low price, accord
ing to Bob Hatton, local distribu-
tor of Dayton tires and tubes.
THE prices on Dayton All-Speeds
are really sensational when you
take into consideration it is a
Dayton made product, which means
that skilled craftsmanship and
quality materials are used eXclu-
sively in their makeup" said
Hatton.
THE answer, of course, is lower
production costs, low cost of raw
materials and greater efficiency in
manufacturing and marketing.
Even the famous Dayton Thoro-
breds, known the world over be-
cause they pioneered the white
sidewall feature, are low in cost
today.
But, for the price, the Dayton
All-Speed can't be beat 1t fits the
depression pocketbook because it is
within the reach of everybody's in
come. And it will be running and
giving good service long after the
depression is a thing of the past.
Wen be glad to show this tire
and explain its many features,
without obligation to anyone" said

The FL Centro Chamber of COM
merce reports that the religious sur

Of about 1400 cards sent out, 1929
have been returned to chamber
headquarters filled out as to name.
address, number in family, church
membership or preference and Sun

The courtesy of the public in assist
ing the individual church canvass
ers to get this information has been
remarked on oy the ministers of

states that, out of 1,400 houses
called upon, only Is persons refused
| TO give any information. OF the
1,129 cards already turned in and
tabulated 1,0O9 gave church affilia-
ton or membership and but 100
stated they had no church prefer
ence. With 1o09 families listed the
average used in the census of Al
persons per family, this would in
dicate that there are 4,137 persons
in the territory canvassed who have
church preferences or are at present
! attending church, out of total of
6,150, and returns yet to be made
on 1,101
The cards have been sorted ac-
cording to denominations by the
! chamber staff and are to be turned
over to the pastors of the various
churches in order that they may
call on persons who are interested
in their church but have not yet
affiliated with them and to give
them an opportunity to build up
