session."
But the people favor "a dam there, and
because you and Shields have "a QUARREL"

In 1875 the Presbyterian pioneers of

membership grew until il was the largest
in that part of the state, but i'm the course

Among the members remaining were
the Maybens, "a family composed of three
bachelors and their three maiden sisters.
One 10y one they paid the debt of nature,
the last one OF tire sisters dying about
three years ago. She left "a will bcqucth-
ing all her property, worth about S2O.OOO

gregation that had built the church ninty-
one years before. Nobody knew of any
such survivors until u Mrs. Clark, who
lives in the county, found them by ex-
aiming the records of the church. which
had come into her possession many years
previous. There are only two, an aged
lady living i'm another county and an I'M
Gle OF hers and of ID. II. MADDEN, president

the property. In commcnoration of their
