Closing Exercises of the Clare

Celebration Workers
Rewarded.

The tw~enty-fifth anniversary and for
NAL re-opening of the renovated build-
ing of the Claremont Presbyterian
Church came to a close last night. Adj
ditional interest was lent to the exer-
cises because of the fact that AN but
one of The former pastors had promised
to attend. The church was rowded to
the doors and the closing exercises
proved the most noteworthy of the
celebration. The pulpit was hidden by
a bank of palms and flowers, while pot
ted plants were placed in every spot
in the ediflce. The programme was
opened with an organ voluntary by Mr..
John I%nwright. after which the choir
sang the hymn, Praise My Soul, the
King Of Heaven scriptural reading by
Rev. David Mitchell and a prayer by
Rev. William D.. Grant, followed by Miss
Katrina Green. who then sang a soprano
solo. which was heartily ~applauded.
The pastor, Rev. George r. Garrett
son, then extended a greeting and made
formal acknowledgment of the work
done by the faithful. '4The Sunday
School and Ladies' Aid Society,"" said
he, "have done their share towards pro-
viding the much needed renovation.
There are two people whom I wish to
especially honor. They worked hard for
our church and deserve praise for what
they accomplished. The persons re-
ferred to were Miss Anna I. Meharg.

Mushroom HoOms.

The usual crop of presidential booms has
sprung up from the fertile soil of an over
whelmirg party victory at the polls. AL
ready the Jealous friends of Governors
elect Bradley, Bushnell and Lowndes are
busly advertising their availability for
chief or second honors in the presidential
race. but it is notable that the managers
of the genuine booms, such those that
pertain to Messrs. Reed, Mckinley. Harrf-
son, Allison, Morton and other republican
possibilities, do not exhibit any undue evi-
dences of alarm, but are rather disposed
to foster these local ebulitions of en-
thusiasm for their own purposes. While
some excellent vice-presidential timber may
have been cut out by the successes of Tues
day yet it Is altogether improbable that
the men who headed the successful tickets
in the states that have gone republican will
be accredited by their party six months
hence with sufficient responsibility for
these performances to warrant their selec-
ton for the highest national honors.
