Two Hundredth Anniversary.
Yesterday was a gala day in Branford; the
town woke up from its long winter sleep.
The occasion was the two hundredth annivsr-
sary of the organization of the First Congre-
gational church, Familiarity known as the old
South church of Branford. The church was
organized in 1914, but it did not prosper IN
til it was reorganized in 1858 and Rev. Sam
uel Russell wss installed as its pastor. It was
to commemorate this reorganization that afs
forded the reason for yesterdays celebration.
The exercises took place in the First church
of the present time, but not the one in which
the early settlers worshipped God. The
church was handsomely decorated with flow
ers; the chandeliers were decorated with
smilax, palms and evergreens The exercises
commenced at IL o'clock, and there was
large attendance which filed the church.
There were large number of people present
who formerly lived in Branford.
The following is the correct programme of
the exercises as carried out:

read from Rev Mr.. Miller, who is in Iowa.
There was exhibited at the church a cedar
post that once formed part of the stockade
surrounding the first meeting house of the
society, which was situated where the present
cemetery is. The post has been presented to
the society by Miss Maria Russell It has
been one of the heirlooms of the Russell fam
lily since the time of the Rev. Mr.. Russell,
one of the first pastors of the church. The

Up HAMILTON CREEK.

1t was our happy privilege to visit
this section last week, and we were
surprised to find such an amount Of
aeerrage in cultivation, and we were
delighted at the evidence of thrifty
enterprise and general abundance that
We saw. With George Edwards for a
glide we learned the names Of nearly
all the citizens from Mr.. Riley, who
has a nice home at the confluence of
Hamilton to Mr.. Bishop, who lives at
the head of tide water on this stream.
The first place we made a halt for a
chat and information of the country,
was at Mr.. Jacob Newman's, an old
''fatherly Virginia gentleman, and
that is the highest complimnt we can
pay any man, haiIing as we do from
the old tTar Heel'' state. The harvest
like the balance of this favored land, is
abundant, fruit excellent. We saw
some as fine peaches on this creek as
ever grew i'm California or any where
else, and the next webfoot that tells
us t'peaches dCl.'t do we'll here" we
shall lust say, You lazy sinner YOU
just go up Hamilton creek and see"
we called on Mr.. Gleason, who fell
out Of an apple tree some time ago, and
found tile old gentleman still sufft ring
from his bruises, convalescent. We
f4Fcd sumptuouslN at dinner at mine
host Bishops, and then prepared for
an angling trip up the meandering
Hamilton to the mouth of Scott creek
and, then in the live dark tangled forest
we pressed our way far beyond the
habitation of man. A large part of
this section is claimed by the Wagon
Road company, whose title or claim
has just been decided by an act of con-
gress. we win say to all emigrantS, or
home seekers, here is just as inviting a
field for cheap homes, as we have ever
seen. We found many pleasai ac-
quaintances, and shall embrace the
first opportunity TO again visit this
pleasant section The most interesting
part of this trip TO the EMPRESS, was
thirteen new names for Its mailing

ffie appreciatiye intelligence of the
people.

EMBARR RRASSED.

\ Bos;ouian has had the laugh
turned upon him recently. He is Il
Benedict, and more than that, he is Il
fond husband. His wife usually leaves
him for a week only during the sum
ner, and he always promises to write
to her every day. Now, the uuneces-
sary trouble in this busy life of having
a love letter composed by mail time is
pretty considerable, not to mention
the unexpected calls upon his time
which might cmbarrass him, and so
the very night of her departure he
writes six letters one for each day
seals, directs and stamps them, and
places them on his desk, with orders
to his office boy to mail one each day.
This plan has worked gloriously for
years. But, alas! the son OF the family
has knocked the little scheme Sky
high. He went to his fathers office
one day this week, found the heap of
letters ready for daily service, saw the
point, and wickedly mailed the whole
squad. Explanations were difficult,
but they had 10 he made. and now the
little wife will demand some sort of
dodger to prove that day and date are
idcntical.-EX.

WI. Is IN.

There are several gentlemen in and
around Lebanon, who seldom, If ever
attend church on sunday, and we are
naturally led 20 inquire, why is il? Are
they afraid that their morals will le
contaminated with evil nssocia,ion9
Do business and professional men sup
pose that their trule or calling will
suffer detriment 10y being found in the
house of God? Or does this class of
gentlemen propose 10 ignore the Christ
ian part of the community, To increas,
their pains aud profits? Are they
afraid of being horriticd by the sight
Of the contribution box? Is IL because
they are afrnid that they will not be
cordially re lived? Is IL because no
one has kindly invited them To church9
Surely it is not because they are afraid
Of the force or power &C truths; surely
il cannot be moral ccwart,Ise.

Gov. Pennoyer in his address to the
Oregon Press Association said: '.No
hope of mere partisan success should
ever swerve those who control the col
unins of public Journals from deslounc-
ing that which they know to be wrong
and from approving that which they
know TO be right. The editorial col
nmns should always express the hon
est, earnest conviction OF the writer Ii
the editor believes that upon any of the
great questions of the day the public
public sentiment is wrong, it is his im-
perative duty TO speak the truth, run
counter to it, and in the exercise Of all
the powers that God has given him, lie
should endeavor to change that senti-
ment and mould it for the right 1t Is
such a condition of public affairs that

perfection that it is rarely that a mis-
