Decoration Day in Beechwoods.

1t was announced in The STAR last
week that the old soldiers and their
friends of Beechwoods proposed to OBJ
serve Decoration Day in an appropriate
manner, an excellent program having
been prepared for the occasion, and the
affair was grand success. Never In
the history of the past has such large
crowd gathered In the Beechwoods
cemetery on Decoration Day to pay re-
spect to the dead and living soldier
boys. II is estimated that over ,0OO
people were In the cemetery Saturday.
The procession formed In line at the
Waite school house and marched to the
cemetery keeping time to the music of
two brass bands-F'alls Creek and Mill
Creek. After the services in keeping
with the day, to honor the dead, had
been performed in the cemetery, the
people returned to the school house and
emptied the baskets Of good things that
had been prepared by the fair sex for
the occasion. The afternoon was spent
in listening to music-instrumenta and
woodland orations by Revs. Hill,
Steadman and Hon. A. G.. White. The
days doings was magnificent success
and all returned to their homes delight
ed. When the people of Beechwoods
attempt anything in earnest they are
always successful.

Rev. Kelley's Farewell.

Rev. f. Lewis Kelley preached his
farewell sermon as pastor of the Baptist
church Sunday evening. AS the hour
of service was eight o'clock the Presby-
terian and Lutheran congregations held
their services little earlier than usual
and Revs. johnson and Metzenthin as
sisted Rev. Kelley in his last service in
this place. Rev. Kelley preached an
excellent sermon from this text: But
God commendeth his love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for U.S." The discourse was
fraught with gospel truths both for
saint and sinner. The main audience
room was too small to accommodate the
large congregation that had assembled
and the folding doors into the Sunday
school room were thrown open and the
entire edifice was filed. The Presby-
terian, Methodist and Lutheran
churches were we'll represented.

A Cow Did II.

The Jersey cow OF A. Il. Dunn, the
hardware merchant, threw an II. & F.
c. R'y engine off the track last Thurs
day afternoon near the foot of Fourth
street, but IL cost the bovine's life.
Engine No. . with train OF loaded
coal cars behind IL was running fifteen
miles an hour when the engine struck
the COW near Shaffer's siding. The
engineer thought the COW had fallen of
the track on the fireman's side and the
fireman thought she had dropped off on
the engineers side, but as she could not
be seen along the track on either side,
the fireman ran out on the engine and
found the cow on the cow-catcher with
her head on the rail. When the train
reached the siding the cows head
caught between the main track and
siding rail and threw the pony wheels
of the engine of the track, cut the
cows head off in front of the horns and
the animals body rolled down a'small
embankment. The heavy train was
not easily stopped and the engine was
pushed along past six telegraph poles
before the train was stopped. AS the
entire distance the engine ran with the
front wheels off the track was on a
curve, it is almost miracle that the
engine did not go over the cmbankment
into the creek

Monon Seed Co. a Fraud.

An advertisement for the Monon
Seed Co., of Chicago, H.. appeared in a
number OF our exchanges several
months ago Offering prizes to the
persons making the most words out of
the letters contained in the text:
"Monon Seeds Grow" One thousand
dollars in prizes was TO be given away,
the prizes to be in cash from $1,000 to
$4,000. In due time after the list
would be sent in the party would receive
word that they were entitled to one OF
the prizes, but they were expected to
buy one dollars worth of seeds before
the prize would be sent. A number of
people in Rcynoldsville and vicinity
sent in their dollar and are still wait
ing for the prize that never came. The
Postoffice Department has declared the
Monon Seed Co. fraudulent, therefore,
the people who worked their brains
over the text given and sent their
dollar to the "Windy City" can count
themselves out dollar and be little
'shy" about such offers in the future.

Fought Forest Fires.

A spark from T.. w. McMillen's mill
on the Waite tract, northwest OF this
place, started forest fire Monday after
noon which threatened destruction to
the mill and u lot of lumber. An alarm
was sent to this place and large num-
ber of citizens hastened to the mill to
fight the forest fires, and by the aid OF
men from Sandy Valley and other
places who were attracted to the place
by the mill whistle, effective work was
performed before the fire had done
much damage.

grateful Nation to pay tribute TO the
soldier dead, and Reynoldsville was not
slothful in honoring the heroes who
sleep In the "silent cities" In this imme-
diate vicinity. The flag for which so
much blood was shed was conspicuous
in front OF the business houses along
Main street and other places in Reyn-
oldsville. As has been the custom for
years, a parade was formed on Main
street at 900 A. NJ. and marched to Beu-
lab cemetery where the memorial SER
vices were held. Joseph ShafTer, Mar
shal, formed the parade as follows.
Sunday school children, Keystone band,
p. o. s. Of A., Knights Of Golden Eagle,
Jr. o. U. A. NJ, s. OF ", G. A. r., w.
II. G. in carriages. At the gates OF the
cemetery the procession halted, opened
ranks and the old soldiers marched into
the cemetery first, taking the flowers
handed them by the boys and girls as
they passed through the open ranks.
The program in the cemetery was as
follows: Song by choir; address by
Commander II. ID. Beer; prayer by
Chaplain John NJ. Hays; "Nearer My
God, to Thee" was played by the band;
another address by Commander: Offer
ing by Officer Of the Day Capt. T. G.
Reynolds; Chaplain's Offering; saluting
the dead by firing squad: America"
was sung by the WOman's Relief Corps
benediction: strcwing flowers on the
graves of the departed comrades.
AS tho last act was done In the ceme-
terry to show respect to the departed
heroes, the assemblage could have ap-
propriately repeated Longfellow's words
when he said:
Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest
On this field OF the grounded arms,
Where foes no more molest.
Nor sentry's shots alarm.
Ye have slept ON the ground before,
And started to your feet
At the cannOn's sudden roar,
Or the drums redoubling beat.
But in this camp OF death
No sound your slumber breaks;
Here Is no fevcred breath
All Is repose and peace,
Untramped lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
IL Is the truce Of God!
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep,
The thoughts of men should be
AS sentlnels to keep
Your rest from danger free.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers;
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.
In the afternoon squad of Grand
Army men rode to the Prospect ceme-
terry on horses to decorate the graves Of
soldier boys buried there and squad
of Sons of Veterans went to the Catho-
lie and Sandy Valley cemeteries to pay
respect to the departed comrades who
are buried in those places.
