County Historian Making Plans For Sesqui Centennial It Is a great satisfaction to hear the expressions of satisfaction and appre. elation from every one who attended the celebration, the 150th anniversary celebration of Franklin County, at the Graded School auditorium on Feb. 12th. These expressions are compen sating for all the effort. We feel en couraged to go forward with greater effort to make the celebration on July 4th the greatest event In our history* Aheady the plans are being gotten In shape and committees appointed for the occasion. Dr. A. H. Fleming and R. C. Beck have been asked to provide amplifiers for the College and Graded School grounds that twenty thousand may hear the addresses. Every person who look any part In the Centennial fifty years ago are requested to see me at once that they may have some active part on July 4th, especially the Marshalls and ladles who represented States and Counties. The Marshalls of 1879 will be the Chief Marshalls of 1?M.

As for Young Stribling, he was a sorry disappointment to everyone, in cluding the South which had hoped that he might prove its first heavy weight champion. The Georgian, spotting his opponent a ten-pound weigljt advantage, chose to keep well away from the Bostonian for most of the fight and his lack of fight in spirt it probably did much to cost him the verdict. Lou Magnolia, the referee, had no hesitation in raising Sharkey's right hand as soon as the clamor of the bell announced the end of the tenth round, and from the vast throng, stretching from the $25 ringside seats to the far reaches up on the top of the $5 section, there was hardly a dissenting voice.
