Find Old Papers
Recently when doing little
cleaning in the Democrat office an
old copy of the Morgan County
Chronicle was found. The paper
bore the date of April 18, 1849.
The editors were S. H. Davis and
F. A. Porter. The front page told
of the speculation of war between
France and Russia. Following is
one of the articles: "It is stated
that a telegraph line is to be built
from Vera Cruz to Mazathan on
the Pacific. II such a line was put
in operation and the laws of the
nation sufficient to protect it, its
business would soon be extensive
and it would yield as much profit
as an ordinary gold mine"
Butter is quoted at 10 per pound,
with eggs sc per dozen; sugar lac;
coffee &c and 10c and so on.
The price of the Chronicle was

Tomcat team that returned to
Glouster last Friday night after
vainly attempting to defeat the Big
Reds o. M. & NJ The latter prov
ed ,i:at the Tomcats We're more
grow! than anything else, as they
handed them Al to 80 defeat
The game was close throughout,
md up until the final minutes, the
outcome was very much in doubt
high number of personal fouls
were called on both teams but
neither team could capitalize on
the large number of free throws
The game got off to slow start
with neither team being able to hit
the basket with any consistency.
The Big Reds managed to outscore
the Tomcats by three points in the
first period with the score 10 to Z
at the end of the first quarter. In
the second period the Big Reds
slightly increased their margin,
leading 25 to 19 at the half. In
the third stanza the Tomcats came
to life and cut down the lead of M.
& M. five so that M. & M. held
rs to 25 edge at the three-quarter
mark. In the final quarter the
Fighting Five of M. & nj. exhibit
ed little of their prowess in
racking up points which had not
been seen SO far in the game They
hit the hoop from all angles as they
tailed 13 markers in the last quar-
ter with the Glouster Five being
able only to get five counters Thus
the final score of Al to 80.
The Big Reds now have a season
record of eight wins and one loss.
and are in second place in the Mus
klngum Valley League with the
Little Muskies of New Concord in
first position. In the game Friday
night the Big Reds missed several
seemingly easy shots and at the
foul line were especially poor Hav-
ing 23 free throws they were able
only to make nine good In a close
game those ID fouls missed might
have meant the difference between
victory and defeat However. the
Big Reds tailed six more field
goals than the Tomcats so the
missed fouls were not of so much
in the scoring column,
out the scoring was evenly divided
among all the players. Lineup

Jesus Calls Four Disciples, Luke
Sill, for Sunday, February 1:
A larger and eager multitude
pressed Jesus to the point of using
a boat near the shore for pulpit
v. 1. "And it came to pass, that
as the people pressed upon him to
hear the word of God, he stood by
the Lake of Gennesaret." Religion
when presented in way to nourish
and strengthen souls will always
draw crowds. The custom Of
preaching only from the pulpit
where ministers Of the gospel ana
all religious teachers will present
the gospel anywhere. Some preach
ers are speaking to large audiences
on the street Saturday nights in or
der to reach greater numbers.
v. 2. "And saw two ships stand
ing by the lake; but the fishermen
were gone out Of them, and were
washing their nets" The idle boats
furnished an opportunity for Chris
tian service. How much idle ma
terial today might be used in Chris
tian service?
v. 8. "And he entered into one
of the ships, which was Simon's,
and prayed him that he would
thrust out little from the land.
And he sat down, and taught the
people out of the ship" These fish
ermen had met the Lord before and
followed him apparently, giving
part time service. Having failed in
making catch that day, they were
discouraged when Jesus drew nigh.
Disbursements fade when we at
Christ's command launch out into
deeper waters for the Master.
v. 5. Now when he had left
speaking, he said unto Simon,
Launch out into the deep, and let
down your nets for a draught." Je-
sus will add his blessing to honest
labor. We have a right to pray for
divine help when pursuing honest
endeavours. 1t is persistency in
right doing that is one way to sue
cess. 1t is the being faithful unto
death that counts.
v. 6. "And Simon answering
said unto him, Master we have toll

will let down the net" Peter was
asked to do what seemed sure
failure; not failure but low aim is
