for another year, is already plan

parsonage.
Miss Leura Dye, one of our main
standbys in church work, is in a
Cambridge hospital, where she un-
derwent an operation for the re-
mova1 of tumor. Her many
friends hope for a speedy recovery.
Rev. Murray Allison and family of
Berea are at the home.
Since we were between two
fires,' and did not attend our Dick
inson reunion, having been induced
to attend the Foster reunion by our
friend Howard of Seattle, we are
endorsing report of the Dickinson
reunion as given to us by the Sec
retary, Mrs. Lois Ziler: The ninth
annual Dickinson family reunion
was held Saturday, Aug. 20, at the
Renrock grange hall with approx
mately seventy relatives in attend
ance, including Mr.. and Mrs. Fran
els Stuart, of Ferndale, Mich; Law
renee Brown and son Paul, of Clin-
ton, Mo-; Mary Louise Dye, Of
Santa Barbara, Calf. The usual
bountiful cafeteria dinner was en-
joyed by all. During the business
session the following officers were
reelected: President, Mrs. Ora
Dickinson Stalker; vice president,
Byron Dickinson; sec'y-treas., Mrs.
Lois Dickinson Ziler. Communica-
tiOns from absent cousins in Flor
ida and Indiana were read, and a
splendid program Of music and

readings was enjoyed by those
present. A notable feature of the
occasion was the meeting face to
face, after 16 years of correspond
ence, of Lois Dickinson Stuart, of
Michigan, and Lois Dickinson Ziler,
of Renrock. Their correspondence
started in a letter written by the
former to the Merry-Go-R de-
partment of the Toledo Blade and
read by the latter. Another unique
feature was the fact that their moth
ers' maiden names were both Smith.
Mrs. Stuart gave most interesting
genealogy of the Dickinson family,
dating back to 755 A. D.
The last grange meeting was made
quite interesting by talks and ex-
hibits of relics. At the next meet
ing, Sept. 2, you are expected to
bring picture Idaguerreotype per-
haps) of your grandparents. And
this reminds us that we do not
think the ape that Is roaming the
woods near Charlottesville, belongs
down here. They say it is about
four feet tall; (ours are taller than
that).
Recently when the Forest Grove
high school put on play here it
was not as we'll attended as the
merits of the play and the good
cause deserved. If the folks here
are not going to patronize thse plays
that come from other communities,
how can we expect them to patron
iZe us when we want an audience?
The Golden Rule will work we'll in
this case. True it was, they came at
against them. They were nice be-
haved bunch of folks, helped to put
things back in order, more so than
any others for long time. It seems
to us that the home talent play is
somewhat on the wane, and some
thing new and novel must be in

but such is not always the case. Per
haps many OF us eat too much green
stuff. If you try to see how many
ears of corn with cucumbers you can
stuff into your stomach, you are
running a risk. You may be like
the little boy who ate too many
green apples: He said it was the

we don't want TO say much along

The Morgan County Thursday September 1882

We only saw one apiary, and
think that contained about 10 or IL
colonies, and in all this long jour-
ney 1 think only three places did we
see advertisements where honey was
for sale. Roadside stands were al
most conspicuous by their absence.
Raspberry patches were few NJ
though they were kept clean Of
weeds, and the strawberry patches
were hoed out nicely and made
ready for the propagation OF new
plants.
The northern part Of the state Is
getting to be quite an alfalfa coun-
try, although some was being har-
vested that was very light, and ]
doubt If it would exceed 500 pounds
per acre. The clover fields that are
being kept for seed are legion, and
as red as blood, the prettiest fields
I ever saw. We saw hundreds Of
acres of timothy cut for the seed.
Herds of dairy cows were a very
common sight-running mostly
from II to IS cows, although / saw
one which had so cows. l think
horses are superseding the tractors
as farm helpers, as not tractor did
see.
Then there was President Hard
ing's monument at Marion, which IS
a great sight and worth going many
miles to sea monument costing
e0an 0n0 uyifI ifc h1nI-
tifully kept grounds of IT acres, and
large book of record where you can
sign your name and address, and
where you can read the names CT
people living in every state in the
union, and many from foreign coun-
tries.
We visited the Junior Order of
American Mechanics home, where
there were 1900 bright children
being educated and trained for life,
but all must leave and do for them
selves at the age of IS, if not gone
before. Only two such homes in the
United States-one in the north and
one in the south.
We saw only one man and one
woman working on Sunday. We had
pity for them, but possibly they had
no auto in which to go, else they
would have been planning an outing
of some kind Most every farm
home had a car out under shade
tree, which was receiving a groom
ing in anticipation of an outing, to
| church or to some point of interest,
| or fishing trip. You could buy
| fish bait for about 10c per dozen.
These were dew worms about the
size and length of lead pencil.
Armed with road map, travelling
is made easy. Rail fences are about
as much an oddity in the northern
| part of the state as a deer running
at large in Morgan county would be.

OUR TRIP
TO LAKE ERIE
By F. SCOTT

A nice trip for anyone to make
and where four persons go in ont
car, the cost need not exceed 81 81
each; go UP one day and back the
next.
Some of the sights we saw were
dogs-big dogs, little dogs, black
dogs, white dogs, curly dogs, and
straight haired dogs, and then there
were oodles OF dogs and poodle
dogs, but the biggest dog we ever
saw was a house dog at the sanator-
ium at Green Springs, wnere is To-
Gated the largest sulphur spring in
| the world, and where it is running
eight million gallons water daily
and starting a river. Wen, this dog
I speak of | believe would weigh at
jleast 125 pounds. Anyhow he is
whopper, and if you chance to be up
ION that side be sure and see him.
After we left Newark not a wheat
stack did we see, as they all thresn
from the shock. AS we go farther
north we find wheat and oats fields
very large, and as to our straw
stacks-compared to theirs they
would seem like hay shocks. Some
of the straw stacks are as big as
ordinary barns. In some few cases
they were burning their straw
stacks. Hay was generally stacked
in rick form and would run about
five or six tons to the rick.
We did not find SO many chickens |
as we have in Morgan county, but |
most of them were kept in enclos-
ures and could be turned out when |
the crops were mature. There were |
some ducks and geese, but their
population was not large. But at
Sulphur Spring there were great
many ducks swimming on the little
lake whose water was clear as q
crystal, and anything dropped in
could be seen plainly at the bottom.
No fish live in this lake, but the wa
ter is good to drink, and people
from everywhere go to battle in its
waters for different diseases, as
rheumatism and SO on, as its waters
are said to be curative.
Sheep did not show up very plen-
tiful. but what we did see were near
ly all of the coarse variety. The
land seems to be too level to invite
of our fine woods as kept in Morgan
county.
We saw only one peach orchard
that was bending with fruit, and
that was near the lake. Apples
were scattering something like they
are in Morgan, but pears seemed to
be on every twig, and the trees load
ed, and their boughs bending to the
ground.
The corn was feeling the effects
Of the dry snap we are having, and
unless rains should help them out
their crops would be light.
Speaking of potatoes, they had
thousands of acres, and unless rain
came to relieve them of their sick
ness they would not have their seed
as return for their labors. am
speaking of late potatoes; their
early crop had been dug and mar
keted at fair price. II

FAIRENO AND GUST0
GOLD CUP FAVORITES
Mate and Plucky Play Rated Best
of Older Horses in $25, 900
Race at Hawthorne.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 27.-The battle for
~ the Hawthorne Gold Cup. one Of
Racing's biggest prizes, was up for
decision today, and a pair of 3-year-
olds ranked as favorites for she trophy
and the winners share of $4,000
added purse.
The four previous renewals of the
fixture were won by aged horses. but
Faireno, William Woodwards star, and
Gusto, Morton L. Schwartz winner OF
the American Derby and the Arlington
Classic, we're the choices to battle 1t
out. They have met twice before.
Faireno winning decisively in the Bel
mont Stakes, and Gusto doing an
equally convincing job in the Arlington
Classic. Both claim the 3-year-
championship, and the question was
involved today.
Mate, second to Sun Beau in the
event last year, and Plucky Play, were
fancied among the older horses, while
Charleigh, a somewhat mysterious per-
former on Chicago tracks; Sidney
Grant, Mad Pursuit, Evergold, Minton
and Prince Hotspur we're the hopes Of
the long-shot players.
The distance was mile and a quar-
ter, and the conditions weight for age.
Mate, Charleigh, Plucky Play and
Sidney Grant drew top weight of 126
pounds, with the others, all 3-year-olds.
