return thanks and l hope if any of the
immense crowd in attendance have
need of an organ they will remember
this generous friend, for a finer toned
instrument is not made. Two of the
trustees, the Messrs. Miller we saw
present. Perhaps the third was there
but | did not see him. Most of the
patrons and residents were there and
we were overjoyed to see an army of
f.iends from Opequon district. a num-
Der of pupils from Ridenour school,
and a goodly number of friends from
Martinsburg, among whom vas a
bevy of lovely girls, IL of whom
actually walked the whole distance,
over 3 miles road muddy from the re-
cent rain.
