Children's Day-Evaporating Establishment
No Apples, Peaches Plenty.

On Sunday, the 18th inst, children's day
was celebrated at Providence M. 2. Church,
and every effort was put forth to make the
occasion pleasant and attractive. The church
was proflsely decorated with almost every
kind Of flowers, The idea of trimming a
church with flowers, moss and evergreen was
grand. On the front were suspended, in large
letters of golden leaf, the words "The Child
ren's Missionary Jubilee" The speeches,
dialogues and recitations were perfect; to give
the names and different pieces would consume
too much space. Miss Fannie Slasman pre-.
sided at the organ. The singing and general
management was conducted by DIR. s. n.
Gorsuch, who acquitted himself with great
credit. As whole it was grand children's
day service-one that will not be forgotten
very soon. Rev. Mr.. Lassell, pastor of the
charge, and Rev. Mr.. McCready made very
neat and appropriate addresses to the child
rem. The collection for missionary purposes
amounted to over $40. The church was so
crowded that not more than one-half were
able to secure seats. Providence generally
takes the lead in such gatherings. Everything
passed off pleasantly.
Lewis Shipley has erected an evaporating
establishment on his place, and storehonse
for storing canned goods. The prospect for
the evaporating business looks a little gloomy
at present, owing to the scarcity of apples, as
there are none on the north side of the trees
as general thing, supposed to be caused by
the cold north winds when the trees were
going out of blossom. There is a fine prospect
for peaches in this section. Nearly all the
trees are full. Mr.. Shipley is at present
watering bis tomato ground and setting out
plants. The drouth has put him back.
There are more potatoes planted in this
section than there has been for many years,
but there will not be more potatoes raised if
it don't rain very soon. The farmers have
commenced cutting grain; oats are very short
on account of dry weather. The talk of the
day is how do you like your new binder
