A large number of the members and
friends Of the M. Il. Tabernacle attended
the annual tea party in the vestry OF the
church from 8 TO o'clock last evening.
A bountiful supply OF good things had
been provided which everyone appeared
to enjoy.
Ats O'Clock services in the church were
conducted by the pastors OF the severai
churches in the district, the Rev. 8. y
Benton presiding.
With last evenings services terminated
the exercises OF the celebration of the
18th anniversary of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church In Olneyviile. Large and
nppreciat audiences have attended the
several services which were begun last
Sunday morning. The only pos
sble gloom that has in any way
been cast over the gathering Is the fact
that possibly this may be the last ami
versary At which the Rev. j. A. Rood VIII
be present as pastor. The M. Il. confer
ence meets in few weeks now, aud IL ls
thought that he may be assigned to other
fields by the conference as he has already
been allowed 10 remain q longer period
than is customary amongst this denom-
ination. His departure would be re-
gretted by the Pensioners here as body,
since through his personal efforts and
privations much has been done in spirit
ual and financial way TO better the con-
dltion OF the Tabernacle Church In Olney-
vile.
Citizens Party.
The nomination papers for the citizens
party for Assem- bly, men were filed with the
secretary of State last night, Town Clerk
Cough certifying to the qualifications OF
% voters on their paper.
Ii appears that the leaders of the Pro-
bibitory party object to the endorse
ment given to their candidate for
first representative, George w. Ami
son, by the citizens party, claim
ing that IL was distinctly under
stood that their nominees would accept
only tho Prohibitory nomination. IL Mr..
Amison declines the citizens endorse
ment 1t Is not known whether they will
endorse the Republican candidate or name
n new man. In either case the result will
be the same, as 1t is not thought they will
cast over 100 votes.
Attempted Robbery.
After the supper in the vestery and
during the services in the Tabernacle last
evening, the barking of q dog owned ey
A. N. Rogers, driver for DIR. Fisher, who
has office in the business part OF the
Tabernacle building, caused Hubert Rich,
member of the church, to 60 into The
vestry TO ascertain the cause OF the alarm
given by the dog.
Mr. Rich discovered a pane OF glass re-
moved directly over the window spring.
" hich was sufficient to warrant an inves-
tigation in the yard with lantern, where
he discovered the feet OF a man protrud-
ing from. beneath the barn Of J. I. Single
