FORD PLANT DELEGATION

At Columbus Attend Church To Hear Rev. A. E. Sager.

Columbus, Ohio. - The coming of Rev. A. E. Sager and wife of West Union, Ohio, was a big event at the Church of Christ in Christian Union, corner of Essex and Cleveland Ave. The topic of sanctification was han- dled scripturally and forcefully. Quite a delegation from the Ford plant, of which Rev. Sager was for- merly an employee, were present. After the services a reception was given by the Ford boys in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Sager. The reception also included the pastor, Rev. G. C. McKibben and wife with other local preachers numbering 32 guests in all. The reception was given at the Ewing restaurant. We give thanks to all.

DECATUR PEOPLE ARE ENTHUSIASTIC

Over Completion of Good Road Between There and West Union.

Decatur, Ohio. - Messrs. Edging- ton and McManis, the firm who have the contract of bulding Grant Highway to the Brown county line, are putting forth a supreme effort to finish it this year,If the weather man will issue a few more bright, warm, dry days, this firm will complete this great improvement. When complet- ed it puts the Decatur people just twenty five minutes from West Union.

It may not at this time be full real- ized by our people and by all the peo- ple, that the Grant Highway is as much or more to them than a railroad would be running over the same course, but such facts, in years to come will become apparent to all. It would be impossible then to find a man or woman in all this county that would swap Grant Highway for a railroad. We are not wanting now to elaborate and say why it is better than a railroad, we we feel fully equipped, with abundant reasors.

DEMOCRATS ELECT LIEUT. GOVERNOR

Woman Elected To Su- preme Court for First Time In Ohio.

Columbus, Ohio. - For the first time in its history a woman will sit on the Ohio Supreme Court bench after January 1 as a result of Tues- day's election, Nov. 7.

Judge Florence E. Allen, of the Cleveland common pleas court, was elected over Benson W. Hough, of Delaware by 24,356 votes.

Complete official returns showed that A. V. Donahey, Democrat, had been elected Governor over Carmi A. Thompson, Republican of Cleveland by a vote of 16,230.

Earl Bloom, Democrat, of Bowling Green, defeated W. H. Chatfield, Jr., Republican, of Cincinnati, by 12,215 votes for lieutenant governor.

With all other contests for the minor state offices were definitely settled in favor of Republicans, and the three proposed amendments to the Ohio constitution providing for legal- ization of light wines and beer, the classification of property for taxa- tion, and for debt limitation, were turned down by large majorities.

Republicans retained control of both branches of the House Legisla- ture, Democrats capturing five seats in the State Senate and electing about 30 House members. There will be two women Senators, Mrs. Maude C. Loughead, Cincinnati; and four women Representatives in the Lower House, Mrs. Nettie M. Clapp, Cleveland; Mrs. C. J. Ott, Youngs- town; Mrs. May M. Van Wye, Cin- cinnati, and Mrs. Lula T. Gleason, Toledo. All are Republicans.

However, the winning candidates remain the same as announced last week. The county road levy proposition, however, was defeated by 433 votes.

ORGANIZE FISH AND GAME ASSOCIATION

New Club At Winchester Places 26,000 Minnows In Creeks.

Winchester, Ohio. - About 150 local citizens met and organized what is to be known as the Winchester Fish and Game Association.

Jack Smith was elected secretary and treasurer. Last week the association received from the state, through State Game Protector, Mr. Clyde L. Stofe, of Hillsboro, something like 26,000 minnows, including rock bass, goggle eyes and cat fish. They were promptly distributed in Eagle Creek and Brush Creek.

The secretary and treasurer advises us he has six pair pheasants and grause on the way, which he will liberate soon as hunting season comes.

Much good can come of an organization such as this and the community should boost them in helping them replenish the streams with fish and woods with game.

The organization is planning on having several banquets this winter for the members. Any one wishing to join should write the secretary and treasurer and all inquiries will be promptly taken care of.
