Letter From John C. Rorick Describ
ing Winter. Life at Windermere,
Florida Wauseon People in Win
dermere and ,What They are Doing,
Windermere, Fla., Feb. 26, 1914.
ruuon uouniy xnbune:
Dr. and Mrs. Darbv. Florence Dim
ke, Mrs. Rorick and myself arrived
in Jacksonville in due time and there
took a boat; had a splendid trip up
the St. Johns river as far as Sanf ord
and there took a train for Winder
mere arriving in the rain, on the 13th.
Mr- Palmer met us at the station with
his auto and we were very soon lo-
J. J 1. . .
csiea in pieasani reservations at the
Cottage hotel kept by Mrs. R. E
Kline, formerly a resident of Wau
seon. It is a pleasant place to live,
everything neat and clean and meals
just what we like. Mr. Kline runs a
good store at the station where he is
deputy postmaster, Mr. Palmer be
ing the postmaster. All very quiet,
tnere being no Wauseon scramble
among the Democrats here.
We are just . enjoying the time of
our lives here. Of course it could not
be otherwise with Cal. Palmer, Have
Brigham, Howard Lyon, Clarence
Brigham and Mert Read with their
charming wives all located in splendid
cottages on the pine decorated banks
of Lake Butler with motor boats to
sail on the waters of seven lakes and
automobiles to drive us on the land
to look at the beautiful orange and
grapefruit groves.
The Williams' arrived safely and
today are staking the lines for their
cottage and Cal is working on the
plans and filing his saws to start the
building. They are just happy and
their future looks bright. This cer
tainly is an ideal place for people
with means to locate for the winter
to enjoy life and lengthen their time
for earthly pleasure. I believe it is
a healthy place for colored men nev
er lie and I met one yesterday who
told me that no one ever gets sick
here and that "we have no use for
a doctor, all he has to do is jus stan'
roun' and do nuff in" and I haven't
seen a cemetery yet.. They may be
shrewd enough to have it hid some
where. The social connditions here are en
ervating, i Florence Dimke enjoyed
her twelfth birthday ori the 21st; a
merrv party of 28, all but seven be
ing from Wauseon gathered in the
evening to celebrate the occasion;
complimentary and congratulatory
cards and boxes of candy were pro
fuse and happy hours ended not until
midnight. Florence is the most pop
ular visitor in Windermere.
Mr. and Mrs. A. A- Dorn, W. S.
Braun and Dr. Thompson of Cleve
land are here. They are all enter-'
taining people and add greatly to the
social conditions. Braun and Thomp
son are large orange grove owners
and are very enthusiastic over the
future of this section of Florida.
. The Windermere Improvement ; Co.
own about 2500 acres here and Mr.
Palmer individually owns a grove of
about eight acres which yielded 1200

boxes of oranges this year. The un
improved land sells from $40 to $50 an
acre. It costs about $40 an acre to
improve and cost of trees, 70 to the
acre, is about $50 an acre- It also
costs". $20 an acre besides fertilizer
to care for them. They generally
begin to pay expenses in four years
but after thpt grow into money very
fast. The company have the confi
dence of everybody here and condi
tions seem very favorable for a pros
perous outcome.
Comrade S. A. Miller has a nice
cottage overlooking both Lake Bessie
and Butler. It was a great pleasure
to meet and see him enjoy the sun
shine. There are twelve Wauseon
families here for the winter besides
us visitors. I am not able to find any
thing detrimental to an Ohio man yet
and can only say as a compliment
that Have Brigham enjoys a high
standard as a fish story author.

They Wander Morally, Mentally and
Physically They Wandered 'Into
Fulton County and Were ' Gathered
in to Judge Barber's Court Where
Their Wanderings .Cease.
Last week a party was discovered
to be camping in Frank Snyder's
woods in Pike township, as there were
3aid to be a number of children in the
party, also some horses and the only
shelter they had seemed to be a tent.
The deputy sheriff, humane officer and
probation officer went out to investi
gate; the party consisted of a man
and woman, presumably husband and
wife, and five children, the youngest,
a girl of five years who was down with
a bad case of croup and the oldest a
boy of sixteen; four emaciated horses
were tied to trees in the woods with
out any shelter whatever and with no
visible signs of food. The people
were living in a tent considerably the
worse for wear in which the principal
furniture was a quantity of straw; the
ihildren were very poorly clad and in
a destitute condition. The people were
all brought to Wauseon and medical
attendance secured for the little, girl
with croup who was found to be in a
very serious condition. The man was
brought into Juvenile court and pled
guilty to a charge of mistreatment
of his children, giving the judge to un
derstand that they were his children
and the woman, their mother, his
wife. He told the court a story of
their wanderings in the states of In
diana and Ohio and claimed that they
were . traveling to Detroit from Leb
annon. Ohio; that he expected to go
tq a brother in Detroit who was a
teamster and who would find a place
for him to work and house his family.
Judge Barber sentenced the man.

to 20 days in jail and to pay a fine of
$10.00 and costs. The next problem
before the court was the disposition
of the woman and children: before
this matter was disposed of King con-

The Subscription List Continues to
Grow Another School Added to the
Roll of Honor. Interest Increasing.
Fulton County Will Honor the Boys
in Blue'.
The subscription for the Soldiers'
Monument has not been mounting up
by leaps and bounds during the past
week but it has been growing and the
secretary has been made glad by ru
mors of certain movements that are
on foot that will swell the total of
the subscription list well along to
ward the two thousand dollar mark,
more than that, these rumors indicate
a growing interest in this patriotic
movement and promise that the monu
ment will be what the association de
sires that it shall be the "free will
gift of the people of the county". The
old Soldiers of Losure Post have set
another illustrious example before the
younger generations in appropriating
for thf .monument, from their treas
ury tr sum of $100.00 in memory of
the comrades who have marched on
to the Eternal Camping Grounds. The
lists are open to all citizens and or
ganizations of the ' county; it is an
opportunity to register your patriot
ism. - The amount subscribed does not
figure so largely as does the fact that
you subscribe- and by so doing dem
onstrate your loyalty, your gratitude
and your reverence; this is something
for a'l of us to do together. Five
schools have responded thus far and
we are placing those schools first on
the Roll of Honor this week. We
find it . impossible to reprint all of the
names that have previously appeared
on the Roll and therefore publish this
week in addition to the schools only
the names of new subscribers to the
fund. If you are a pupil, teacher or
'esident of a school district, see to it
that your school gets on the list, we
want the name of very school in the
county on the list of those who gave
for the monument.

leaves one daughter, three brothers

in our midst. He is General Agent
and Sales Manager for the Hinman

and Michigan with office and distribut

sold in these two states are shipped
to purchasers from this point.
Last Monday norning's mail
brought him orders for twenty-seven
machines; orders for eight machines
were on file in his office and more or
ders were on the way. It keeps Dave
busy sending out machines and every
machine sent out advertises his busi
ness. The Hinman Milking Machine
seems to be a staple article and Dave
is without doubt a hustler.

Some New Reading Matter of Inter
est Rev. Rihbany's Life Story in
the Atlantic Monthly Most Ex-
' tensive History of Ohio John
Gunckel's History . of Maumee
Valley.
Wauseon receives publicity in the
March number of the Atlantic Month
ly through the life story of Rev. Ab
raham Mitrie Rihbany, now a promi
nent Boston clergyman but at that
time a poor . Syrian immigrant seeking
an education as an American, and,
first of all, the wherewithal to ac
quire an education.
The story in the Atlantic Monthly
tells of Mr. Rihbany's first coming
to Wauseon in 1893, during the finan
cial panic which made it difficult
even for native Americans to acquire
a livelihood. Wandering westward
from New York City with some Or
iental sfks and tapestries and a
couple of letters of introduction to
church people, including one from Dr.
Van Dyke, young Rihbany was de
serted by his Syrian companion who
became homesick and joined a band
of Syrians in one of the cities, leav
ing his friend to continue his way
westward. Rihbany failed as a vender
of silks and tapestries but resolved
to srain his expenses entirely by lec
turing before churches
He finally reached Wauseon and
took his letters to the pastor of the
Congregational church (probably Rev.
Henry Coates), requesting the latter
to direct him to a Christian boarding
house. The minister took the young
man to the home of the widowed sis
ters, Mrs. Susan Baldwin and Mrs.
T?oa Kolb, who extended to him the
first real sympathy and friendship of
his wanderines. And their home he
made his headquarters for some time,
several vears laer marrying their
niece. ' Some of Mr. Rihbanv's earli
est attempts at lecturing in the Ener
1ish landings were made in the old
Congregations1 rbm-ch on South Ful
ton street. Within three vears he
hf,A mastered the English language
nffic'ntlv to become a minister. For
several years he Was pastor of the
CoToresratio"fl church at, Morenci.
wpi"h was followed by a tWn to his
native Iflwl of Syria and to Palestine,
after wh'Vh he entered the minist'-v
the Unitarian denomination in
winch he is now serving. Before
eoine to Boston Mr. Rihbany was
pastor of the churcn in Toledo- ' -
The Atlantic Monthly may - be
found in the reading room at the
public library. The autobiography of
Mr. Rihbany begins in the Jlovember
issue of the magazine.
Through -the courtesy of Repre
sentative Frank H. Reighard the li
brary is now in possession of volumes
21 and 22 of the Ohio Archaelological
and Historical Society publications.
The publications of this society form
the most extensive history of Ohio ex
tant, and the Wauseon library is for
u
nn n
I ft
1
tunate in possessing all of the 22
volumes.
Mr. Carl Greenleaf has also placed
in the library the revised edition of
John E. Gunckel's History of the
Maumee Valley, an excellently writ
ten book of special interest to people
in Fulton county. It describes the
battles of Fallen Timbers and River
Raisin, the campaigns of William
Henry Harrison and Oliver Hazard
Perry. It is profusely illustrated and
contains a portrait of Chief Ottokee,
the elder brother of Chief Wauseon,
for whom this town was named.
A Wonderful Gathering Memorial
Hall Packed With Enthusiastic Re
publicans Prearranged Booms and
Personal Ambitions Conspicuous
For Their Absence-
About twentyiflve ' Republicans
from this community attended the
Lincoln Day meeting held in Colum
bus last week Thursday and all of
them have come home bringing re
ports of the most enthusiastic Re
publican meeting they ever attended
and they have also full confidence that
the Republican "Come Back" in Ohio
in 1914 is assured. The attendance
which reached more than 4000 was
remarkable in that it was composed
of representatives from practically
every township in the state; the re
ports given by these representatives
were agreed as to the revival of Re
publicanism and a growing discontent
with the Democratic administration
all over the state. There was an ut
ter absence of pre-arranged booms
or the exploiting of personal ambi
tions; old leaders and men who are
prominent in the counsels of the party
were subordinating personal aspira
tions to the re-uniting of the Repub
lican forces and the success of the
party at the polls next November.
Tolerance and harmony seemed to
be the watchwords of those present
and the avowed purpose of the meet
ing to get together was certainly ac
complished; the Republicans of Ohio
certainly got together, and what is
more they mean to stay together on
the common ground furnished by the
principles of the Republican partv, the
nartv of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and
McKinley. Fulton county is to have
her grand "get together meeting" the
latter part of this month and com
mittees are now at work perfecting
plans to make this one of the biggest
and best Republican meetings ever
bold in this county. Hon. Frank B.
Willis will be the Principal speaker
and the exact date of th meeting will
be fixed to suit Mr. Willis' conven
ience. Unless the. si ens of the times
in tbe political skv of Ohio are very
misleading Mr. Willis will be the
choice of the Republicans for candi
Apt for governor and if he is we
HoKeve he will lead the G. O- P. on to
victory next November.
