5. WASHINGTONVILLE LOCAL GLEANINGS By Peter M. Herold. "The heights by great reached and kept, Were not a attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night." Teachers' Institute. It is a rare treat community to have such a "feast of ason and flow of soul" as was given here last Saturaay, when the Columbiana county teachers held their annual session in the Lutheran church (on the Mahoning county side) of this village.

The meeting was opened by prayer by Rev. D. L. Clark, and the high school chorus furnished music for the occasion, with Epha Wilson presiding at the piano. The first number on the program was "Some Needs of the Rural Schools," which was read from a carefully prepared paper by Mr.

J. Gray of Franklin Square, and neither subject nor the delivery lost anything by reading. The country schools are the bulwarks of this nation and must not be lost sight of in the mad race for a "high falootin' edykashun." "The Blazed Trail," by Dr. J. F.

Guy of Canfield Normal school was as well received by the 115 teachers present as it was ably presented by the speaker. Prof. Guy has his subject well outlined and throws just enough dynamics into his address to keep his audience awake from start to finish. At the close of his address he was roundly applauded. After a short intermission Misses Matzenbaugh and Roller sang a vocal duet.

Then Miss Anna M. Tate, teacher of English in the Salem H. read an ably prepared paper on "What the High School Should Expect of the Eighth Grade Graduate in English." This was followed by another intermission. When order was restored Supt. G.

M. Bingham of the Lisbon schools delivered an able and practical address upon "The Aim and End in Teaching," which the speaker affirmed to be Good Citizenship. He has no use for a school system which turns out "sissies" upon a cold and uncharitable world, and renders them the most useless and helpless beings imaginable. Prof. Bingham is an able talker, has a pleasing address and has brought the Lisbon schools out of chaos and almost anarchy after two of careful study and exec utive ability.

He has been chosen for another two years, and here is what the Ohio Patriot says of him: Prof. Bingham has been at the head of the Lisbon schools for the past two years and during the time the schools have prospered as never. before. The work accomplished has been most pleasing and satisfactory and the action of the board in the matter is most gratifying to all. At the noon hour Supt.

E. S. Freed announced that the Lutheran ladies had a dinner prepared in the school building, and it was not long until 148 meal tickets were sold, from which they received $50.65. People may differ upon theological points, but all were one opinion as to the excellency of the Lutheran dinner then being served. At 12:45 President W.

W. Stroup Homeworth called and the violin meeting duet to order and a piano was rendered Miss Etta Roller and Mr. W. D. King, after which Supt.

C. E. Oliver of the East Palestine schools was introduced and read an interesting paper on "Some Present Problems. He laid less stress upon the highermathematics, than most educators are willing to admit, but paid some respects to the users of tobacco and other narcotics. The Annual Address by Lee R.

Knight, principal of Perkins Normal school at Akron, was the deepest and most scholarly delivery of the 0C- casion. was mostly philosophical deductions with figures and pictures leading to Utopia and ideal citizenship. In the absence of music at the afternoon session, Prof, Laughlin of East Liverpool was frequently called out for a good story. The executive committee, composed of Supt. F.

H. Warren, East Liverpool; Mr. S. C. Booth, Rogers, and Supt.

J. W. Moore, Leetonia, are to be complimented upon the entire suecess of the Institute and the good list of speakers. The next meeting will be held in East Liverpool August 26. Clint Taylor was here from Cleveland over Sunday visiting his parents.

Mrs. Edward Yoder and children were here from Leetonia Saturday buying spring millinery. Harry and Chas. Stouffer are planting a larger acreage of strawberries this year, getting the plants from Warren. A large granite monument has been erected at the grave of George Simpson in' Oakland cemetery.

It equals any marker in that city of the dead. T. 0. Rhodes of Pittsburg had a car load of potatoes shipped from here last week, paying 22 cents a bushel for them. E.

E. Warner, Harvey Baker, F. L. Stouffer and others helped supply the car. Lumber is on the ground at West Point to build about twenty company houses for non union miners, as the company has refused to recognize the miners union, recently organized by Percy Tetlow and J.

M. Poplin. fatal explosion occurred in the Yougheogheny coal mine at Amsterdam, Jefferson county, last Friday night, when 18 persons were killed, one injured and seven escaped. None of the Washingtonville miners, 50 far as learned, were working on the night shift. About 175 miners are employed there, and the night shift was made necessary in order to allow.

the mining machines to do the "bearing in." This of course makes more dust than to "shoot off the solid," so that now the state department of mines and mining has another guess coming before knowing just where to attach the blame. Mrs. J. E. Gilbert was in Youngstown Wednesday.

Prof. Kochheiser of Leetonia attended Lutheran church services here Sunday night. samuel Vaughn has returned from Alabama, where he was erecting steam boilers. Hon. James Kennedy was in Salem Tuesday, but found that Julius Whiting had pre- empted the field.

Smith and others from here attended the band concert in Salem Friday night. Joshua Allen went to Cieveland Saturday to see who is in Lakeside hospital.

fernocker. They' were but 'recently married. Labor unions at East Liverpool are preparing for a big Labor day celebration at Rock Springs park. The attendance is expected to be the biggest ever. Judge Quinn, of the criminal court in Canton, ruled last Friday that an old soldier of 77 years of age has a right to get drunk, and the prisoner was discharged.

The defeat of the Black bill, providing for the removal of Mayors who refuse to enforce the laws, indicates that the Ohio senate don't care whether the laws are enforced or not. Don. Weikart mistook his mother's little peepes for ducklings, the vain attempt to make them swim they were all drowned. It was fun for the boy, but hard on the chicks, This village collects the saloon taxes and Leetonia is collecting the fines. They are paving their streets, and we are not.

Some one at my elbow asks "What are we doing with the taxes? Solomon said (Prov. 28, 1) "The wicked flee when man pursueth;" but the Anti Saloon league adds "They go a little faster when they are chased." They are "going some" in Leetonia at this writing. Two ominous signs face the Lutheran church and of them faces the school building, a sight probably not seen anywhere else. One reads "Rose Hill Liquor Co." and the other reads "New Middletown Pure Rye, Wholesale and Retail." After James Degnan had heard of the 36-foot shark in the California car he went to the creek near the hotel in Leetonia and caught a good sized cat fish that dressed pounds, "Sousa" has a tooth for all kinds of fish, and prefers them to fish stories. Rev.

Kast has returned from a winter's visit with relatives in Reno, Nevada, and was here a few days this week. He is not favorably impressed with the morals or sobriety of that state, and has accepted a call to preach at Reedsburg, Wayne county, this state. Fritz Barton has been unable to work for more than four months with curvature of the spine, and Monday he went to Youngstown to consult Reese, who, being unable to give him the needed treatment, recommended Dr. Cruikshank of Salem, who now has Mr. Barton in a plaster of paris casement.

The fire extinguisher should be taken out of its "rusting place" and a little practice had before it is needed in earnest. Let everybody become familiar with its operations so that more efficient service can be accomplished time when a hurry-up alarm is sounded. Should there be a big fire in town, no time should be wasted in learning how to work the engine. Ed. V.

Morris, freight conductor of the Y. 0. stepped in front of an electric car out of Salem last Friday morning, at a point near the oil tanks, and was severely hurt. He was making a switch and evidently was not aware of the coming car. He was rendered unconscious for a time and word reached here that he had been killed, but it is thought that his injuries will not prove serious.

The following persons here work in Salem, going to and from their work by the Y. 0. line: Harl'y Roller, Mike Holland, Damon Vaughn, Roy Davis, Lee Eyster and Miss Leora Thorp at Mullens' plant. The following are employed at the Buckeye and other works: Cliff Woods, Howard Thompson, Paul Senheiser, Hugh McIntosh, Ed. Herrman- Wm.

Keyser, Matthew Clemer. In order to ascertain whether this village can 1. afford to have street lights, C. H. Weikart allowed four gas jets to burn 10 hours Monday night, and the meter showed that 100 feet of gas had been consumed; and at 25 cents per 1000 feet, cost him cents.

Remember it was for four burners. Now if 100 burners or less were distributed along our streets the cost need not exceed 50 cents for all night service. Think we couldn't afford it? The Lutheran church was crowded Sunday night to hear Rev. G. D.

Gross, a former pastor here but now of New Springfield. The opening anthem was well rendered, as was also the appropriate piano and violin duet "The simple by Miss Rhe Gilbert, the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

Gilbert, and Mr. Daniel Emery of Columbus who is here visiting at the home of his sister, Mrs. S. V. Kennedy.

Rev. Gross appeared full of vigor and full of his subject, "the sermon on the mount," taking for his text Matthew 48: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect," from which he preached a 20th century sermon, full of new light and encouragement. The announcement was made that the next conference of the East Ohio Synod will be held in New Springfield May 9, 10, 11. And that Rev.

Snyder vs, the Peerless Coal Co. in which Snyder was awarded a verdict $4,500 for personal damages received in the explosion of Nov. 19, 1908. Since perfection is not attainable in human affairs, we need not be surprised to find a mistake now and then even in a printing office. Last week a few names were omitted in a news item sent from here, and in another item all the details were not given.

This was no fault of mine, yet three columns of other news fully compensated for. the omissions.

Self-command is quite a comfort. Temptation is no mean touchstone. Guess laziness kills as many as labor. Need makes many who go astray to trip. Yes; there's much comfort in affluence.

If all thought alike what mental monotony. Sometimes hard to tell where a candidate is at. Higher criticism doesn't amount to shucks in politics. It is very pleasing to know the Lord had so much laxity. Sure! Be in the fashion even it you must go it on credit.

Doing constant duty has a tendency to suppress some folks. Some men are so built they'd fail If they owned a Louisiana lottery. Nearly everybody says about money but all are redhot after it. May be the bible is so good because the Lord never inspired a revision. Attractive sale posters- -Dispatch office.

That I am old and stout and gray Doth matter not at all, The babies seem to love to play About me in the hallThey deck me with red blooms and white With loving care and pains, And, because it is spring, tonight I'm wearing clover chains. A little later on mayhap When other blooms unclose A babe will clamber on my lap To pin a red, red rose Onto my coat lapel with glad, Wee, dimpled baby hands. But just tonight she's decked her dad With twisted clover strands. And now they both of them draw near And stand beside my chair, Blue eyes and hazel eyes shine el ar, Two heads of tousled hair Against my coat sleeves snuggle warm Then, from the eager two Comes the expected coaxing storm, "Dad, let's play peek-a-boo!" And who lost all dignity When the first baby came, Am with them with as much of glee As they feel in the game; And while the raindrops slither down The darkened window panes To show us spring has come to town We romp in clover chains. -Lewis in Houston Post.
