THE DOCTORS Calls RETURNED.

THE DOCTORS CALLS RETURNED.
DIR. J. D. Folsom reached his 63rd
birthday Wednesday, July 3. Early
in the evening there were several
calls at his house from patients who
purposely kept him from going out.
A little later more people began to
arrive, and continued to come, until
he was surrounded by 60 to rs of his
patients. Rev Edward T. Fairbanks
then spoke few words of congratu-
lation to the doctor in behalf of the
company, and presented him with a
gold-headed ebony cane, and a beau
tiful silver ice pitcher and cup. The
doctor was taken entirely by surprise
and replied that he could not find
words to express his qualification. A
little while was spent in a social chat
after which the company departed.
DIR. Folsom has been one of the lead
ing physicians in this town since he
came from Lancaster in 1872, and
these little tokens of esteem by those
who have experienced his careful at
tention are greatly appreciated by
the recipient.

They have caused three arrests, two

THE FRESH AIR CHILDREN.

At the ministers meeting last Mon
day morning it was decided to pre-
sent the matter of entertaining the
fresh air children to the cOngrega-
tions next Sabbath to ascertain how
many can be accommodated in this
town and vicinity. Those who can
not entertain the children, but desire
to help in the good work, can send
money to pay for the expenses of the
trip. Communications or cash sent
to any of the local pastors or Secre-
tary Folsom of the Y. M. c. A. will
receive prompt attention. 1t is pro-
posed to send the children here about
the first of August.
1t will be of interest to many to
know what the New York Tribune
fresh air fund has accomplished since
its inauguration in 1877 In the
past - years 59,O36 children have
been given an outing at a cost of
So 94 per child, or a total expendi-
ture of $173, 1888 20. Last year a
fortnight in the country was given
to 10, 92O children and working girls,
with the expenditure of $25, ,636. Ga,
or So. 80 each. The good that this
work has accomplished is far-reach-
ing and it is hoped that all who can
will lend hand" in bringing a ray
of sunshine into the lives of the poor
children of New York.

DANVILLE.

Reception to Rev. c. w. Thompson.
The people of Danville have had the

spoke as follows:
REV. c. w. Thompson, your friends
in Danville desire to give you some
public expression of their regard and
love They bid me extend to you a
hearty welcome to Danville, and if
you have the time we shall all be
gratifed to welcome you to our
homes The latch string is always
on the outside of our doors for you.
Your presence and voice here today
revive pleasant memories and we
hope you will be able to repeat your
visits more frequently than you have
since you left us Our climate is cold
and rigid in the winter, but our
hearts are warm with love and friend
ship for you at all seasons of the
year, and we assure you that you
have many friends in Danville upon
whom you can rely at all times and
under all circumstances. Your long
residence and faithful ministerial
work here established a name and
character for you that no man dare
assail, and we do not think that any
person in this town ever heard your
name mentioned with the least disre-
spect. And now with renewed assur-
ances of our high regard, and wishing
you every blessing possible for you
to enjoy, we bid you God speed in
the life work you have chosen, and
which you have so far faithfully per-
formed"
Mr. Thompson replied with much
feeling, saying that he had enjoyed
his visit very much, and that he
heartily thanked his friends for the
cordial welcome they had given him.
He should remember this visit as one
of the pleasantest of his life. He
urged the people to be true to their
professions and assured them that it
was the only way to perfect man

quence. Number after number was
cheerfully given, until, perhaps to di-
vert attention, one of the soloiSts
suggested a drive, and the far-faned
route "around the mountain was
chosen. The party returned just in
time for the regular Thursday even
ing rehearsal, after which a brilliant
display of fireworks startled the
quiet neighborhood. The corCial
thanks of all are given to Mr.. and
