GILEAD, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1910 NO. 3 a 01 nnnr UW I Is V VEDDED Mrs. Edith Ricketts Cotner of Hancock County, Formerly of ML Gilead, , the Bride. 1 Monday in Findlay occurred the mar. riage of Mr. William M. Carlisle of this city and Mrs. Edith Rickett Cot- ner of Arlington, Hancock county, Rev, W. G. Dressier of St. John's Evangel ical Lutheran church officiating. Mr. Carlisle is known by every busi- nesa man of Morrow county, and the bride by many people of Mt. Gilead, she, some years ago haying lived here. Mr. Carlisle has been identified with most every successful enterprise in Mt, Gilead. He was president of the First National Bank of this city for twelve years, and president of the People's Savings Bank ever since its organiza tion. For a number of years he was connected with manufacturing indus tries here, and this brought him in con tact with most all the people in Morrow county. Mrs. Cotner and her deceased hus band were proprietors of the American House some years ago, and she made many friends here during that time. After the wedding ceremony the -couple went to Toledo, where they will visit a short time at the home of his on, W. C. Carlisle, secretary of the Big Four coal company. From there they will go to Cleveland to visit at the home of Dr. J. M. Lewis, a brother-in- law, and then start for Buffalo, De troit, and up the lakes to Mackinaw and the Straits. On the return trip they will visit at different points in Michigan, expecting . to be gone about a month. This wedding is not a surprise to Mr, Carlisle's most intimate friends. It is a matter of affinity and it has been well considered for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle have not yet fully decided where they will locate permanently. It will be Mt. Gilead temporarily, and perhaps along the river between Maumee and Toledo, and perhaps in Toledo, where a home may be purchased or built, permanently. The friends of the happy couple wish them much joy and happiness. DOING GOOD fpworth League Held Services at the Infirmary Sunday. About thirty of the young people of the EDWorth League sang at the Mor row county infirmary last Sunday after noon. There are not a great many in mates at the home at thin time of the year,, but thqse staying there enjoyed the song service. On the return trip they stopped at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Robert Me- Caakey and rendered a number of the ' precious old hymns for them. Salary of $300 a Month. Ray Phelps, who is assistant treasur- er and head book keeper of The Lorain Coal & Dock Co., Columbus, receiving a salary of $300 a month, was eight years ago a district school teacher of Lorain county. A year at the Oberlin Business College gave him his start. Smashed the Binder. Austin Fulton, a 'farmer two miles southeast of town, Saturday, left his team hitched to the binder stand in the oats field while he went to the house for a drink. Something scared the horses and they started on a mad run, out of the field and up the road. They struck a tree and stopped suddenly but what was left of the binder was not of much worth. It was broken up pretty badly, but the horses escaped serious injury. Dr. S. L Idleman's Lecture. Rev. S. E. Idleman, D. D., the retiring superintendent of Mansfield district, has kindly consented to return to Mt. Gilead to deliver his lecture on the ' 'Men's Movement. ' ' This lecture will be given in Trinity M.

Cashier of the Wheeling Railroad Co. A. H. Campbell, the young man who was recently made cashier of the Wheeling railroad, was a student in the Oberlin Business College only six years ago. He has made a great success since leaving school. He attributes his success largely to the thorough training received at Oberlin.

All the members of the Sunday school, church, congregation and their friends, are ex pected to be present to enjoy the whole day. Well filled baskets, light hearts and participation in the enjoyments will make it a good time for all. NOT ONE DEATH Mas the Western Division of the T. & 0. C. Ever Caused The T & O. C. passenger wreck at Martel Tuesday night, with its surpris ing absence of fatalities, brings to no tice the fact that the Bucyrus division of the Toledo & Ohio Central railroad has a record which' perhaps cannot be duplicated on any road of equal or even less mileage in the entire United States. Says the Bucyrus Telegram. The re cord consists in the road never having killed a passenger on any of its traines in all the thirty years that passenger trains have been operated on it. When it is 'considered that the divi sion runs from Thurston to Toledo, a distance of 148 miles, and that its passenger trains completely double the road every day except Sunday, cov ering 296 miles daily; that it operates numerous freight trains, from which the passenger trains must be protected, flhat it operates six trains daily except Sunday and has handled hundreds of heavily loaded excursion trains; that ife runs always one train to Toledo and re turn on Sunday and frequeutly has special trains on that day, and that in spite of the millions of passengers it has carried in thirty years, it is not charged with the loss of Ufa of a single one of them, the record is one to inspire confidence ki the patrons of the road. The wreck Tuesday is the first pass enger wreck in two years on the road, there having been none for many years previous to the wreck at Syamore in 1908. All this reflects great credit on the road, the train dispatchers, engine and train crews, and passengers on the Ohio Central have a right to feel that their chance, of being injured on that road, are less perhaps than on any oth er line in the country. Mrs. J. M. Conger. Mrs. Rachel Conger, wife of J. M Conger, died Saturday, July 30, at the age of 84 years. She was the daughter of John Doty, and was born near Marengo. She was married to Edgar Moorehouse, to which union four sons were born, only one living, Dr. Moore house, of Delaware, where the mother died. She was married to Mr. Conger soon after the civil war, to which union one daughter, Mrs. F. C. Griffis, was born. The daughter lives at Ft. Russell, Wyoming. The funeral was held at Marengo, Monday at 2 o'clock. Rev, C. L. Lewis, of Sparta, conducted the services. Rev. Charles Longer, a nan brother of the husband, gave a very el oquent tribute-. Eight members of the Relief Corps, of which she was a member, and a number of county officials (Mr. Conger being janitor of the court house), and others from here attended the funeral.

Some people are honest, and considerate, wlile others are unkind, uncouth seemingly staying awake at night to study up schemes whereby they can get something for nothing, and cheat their fellow man. By recent orders of the post office department it becomes necessary in order to get postal rate advantages, to collect subscription in advance, or in other words on a semi-weekly newspaper only six months can be sent without renewal. The postoffice department does not mean to be harsh with publishers and in but a few cases, comr aratively, has enforced this rule, but the time is at hand when this will be enforced strictly.Recently we have mailed statements to all of our subscribers who are in arrears, mailing them bills of the amount due, and kindly asking them to remit If it was not possible to pay promptly, we mailed a renewal blank with a promise to pay order, good to next January and without interest. Many of our subscribers have paid; others thanking us for privilege of a time extension, while a few have re-plied in the most unkind, ungentleman-ly unbusiness-like language. One man says; "I am over 90 years of age. I like the paper' but I am too poor to pay. When I subscribed I paid, but recently misfortune knocked at my door and it may be some time before I can remit. That man's account is squared on our books. Another says;" I owe for two years; collect it if you can." We'll make an effort to collect that account. Another Bays." You changed from- dollar weekly to a dollar and fifty semi weekly. It takes two to make a contract, and we'll stand you a- suit on breach of contract. " He accepted the semi-weekly at $1.50 and he forgets that made the contract between both parties good. He will have his suit. Another says: "You violate the law when you sent the paper more than six months." This may be true. But that doesn't cancel the debt. That is a question between us and the postoffice authorities. The debt must be paid. Many thank us for being so kind as to send the paper over time. Others pay in advance for as long a period as they were behind. They express a desire to be as kind to us as we have been to them. The majority of our readers are good people. Most of them true Americans citizens. If we publish all the letters received there will be good reading. It will be interesting reading to say the least. Having been in the newspaper busi ness for almost a third of a century, we are a pretty good judge of humanity. The new ruling of the postoffice department is all right. There are many people who take more newspapers than they ought to take. Many let them come to their nomes as long as the publishers mail them, and then lie out of paying for them. The time is close at hand when it becomes necessary to promptly renew, and then people get only what they really want. That's business. A thousand good subscribers to the Morrow County Ropublidan are better for us than a thousand good ones and that many additional non-paying ones. A man who does not pay for his paper does not read it. He does us no good, neither does be benefit himself or the advertiser. It is our intention to live up strictly to the letter of the law; publish a good newspaper; mail the paper to people who pay for it and read. We will grow and prosper. Mark that! Thompson Mills. Thompson Mills, an old soldier of Edison, died at the home of his son at Iberia where he went a short time ago, at the age of 71 years; A wife and three children survive. The funeral, and interment, were held at Iberia Sun day. Mr. Mills has been ill for some time, being just able to move around. It was thought that a change from his Edison home to Iberia would do him good, but it proved of no avail, and he fell asleep Friday without pain never to awake. Finger Cut Off Mr. Clevenger had a finsrer so badlv lacerated at the saw mill Tuesday that it became necessary to have it amputated. Dr. Pierce performed the one ra tion. Will Join the Navy Milton Braden expects to start exam ination and enter the navy. H is father w. A. Braden, accompanied him to Cleveland the other day for that purpose, but the recruiting officer was not in his office, so it becomes necessary to go again. It is a capital place for young men. Business Men's Excursion. . Through the combined efforts the businessmen of Mt Gilead have se cured a special train to take them and their friends to Cedar Point.

There are about 160 teachers in the county, and at least 140, perhaps 150 of these are expected. It is necessary for a teacher to at tend at least four days out of the five in order to receive their allotment. Each teacher will pay two dollars towards expenses. Prof. C. G. Leiter of Marengo, is the president of the county organization, and be is making extra efforts to benefit the teachers during the week's session.Supt J. A.

Second Reason Why Building and Loan Associations have grown into such great public fa vor with the people. (2) They divide tbe earnings most equitably of all financial instituiton. For instance in Columbus, Ohio, Rankin Building 22 West Gay Street. The Buckeye State Building and Loan Company, with as sets of over four million dollars, pays its depositors five per cent interest on their money. This money is loaned only on homes, the safest of all mortgage loans. Such safety and such fair division of earnings please the patrons of the Buckeye and they recommend this company to their friends. i
