Supt. Peacock in very fitting re-
marks presented the diplomas.
Mrs. Taylor is deserving of commen-
dation for her untiring energy and
courteous manners which attracted
to her aid many who had to make al
most heroic effort to be on hand.
One such case we have in mind of a
young lady 1--WE refrain from giving
her name) who committed a long
poem while driving a header barge
dedicated to the heroes of our land.
This poem was recited in as masterly
way as though preceded by months
of practice.

those stirring incidents and direct
our thoughts to the subject which is

NEWS OF BATTLE.
w. L. Escher Writes to His Parents
in Wa-Keeney.
FIRMEzA, CUBA, July 5, 1898

EIRMEZA. CUBA, July ), 1898.
DEAR Folks: You are thinking, /
suppose, that / am out of existence by
this time, but 1 am not quite knock
ed out yet. Ny regiment went on the
firing line on Friday morning, July /.
but we did not do much fighting until
Saturday afternoon when we closed in
to the right and it threw my company
into a cross fire. Major Demsey of
the End battalion (the one / am I'M
ordered US to fire about five rounds at
some Spaniards in the intrenches on
our front. That started the ball to
rolling. | was in position that / had
to stand up to shoot and kneel to load.
Lieutenant Wells was just at my
left side. A ball from our right struck
me in the leg and passed on through
into the lieutenant above his thigh
and lodged there. In all l was on
the firing line about thirty hours.
During that time 1 had two hard
tackS to eat so you have kind of an
idea how we live here. My wound is
very slight. when some of our fellows
are brought in shot three or four
times clear through the body. We
have lost in all ten or twelve hundred
killed and wounded. They are send
ing lots of our wounded to Key West.
I do not know whether they will send
me or not. The Cubans are nothing
like what they were represented to be.
They will swipe everything they get
their hands on. They swiped every
thing we had the day we went into
action. All have is what is on me,
blue shirt, pair of pants and shoes.
Ha, ha, what a fine time this is.
Your loving son,

1873. 1888. Is
Presbyterian Anniversary.
1898.
1915 8.

Sunday, July Il, 1898, will be a day
long to be remembered in the annals
of the Presbyterian church of this
city. Then was celebrated the pass
ing of twenty years since the organi-
zation of the church, April, 1873; and
the ten years since the dedication of
the church building July ii, 1888. The
church was appropriately decorated
with flags and flowers. The long-de-
sired new organ graced the platform,
rejoicing all hearers with its full,
rich, tones. The motto for the day
was "Ebenezer-Hitherto Hath the
Lord Helped U.s."
The choir rendered some special
music in an inspiring manner. "Baby-
lon," as sung by Mrs. Nelson was par
ticularly effective.
AS a patriotic thanks offering for
our nations victories a special col
lection was taken for our Home Mis-
sion work of SI2.41.
Rev. Brown spoke of the days when
this building was in progress of cree
tion, the willing eagerness of all to
be doing, and then of the struggles
against diScouragementS tnat almost
overwhelmed the church later.
The presence of Rev. Bracken added
much to the pleasure of the day. His
address pictured to US vividly many
scenes of the pioneer days and their
varied vicissitudes. Letters had been
received bringing greetings from
many former members coming from
California on the west, from far off
Scotland on the east, and many places
between.
Some of these, Mrs. Blair incorpor-
ated in paper reviewing the early
history and trials of the church.
Others were read by Mr.. Wilson in
connection with talk of later DAYS
and members.
Tender tributes were paid to the
memory of those who have done
with earthly trials, and now wear
their crowns of rejoicing.
So we passed out after the benedic-
tion-feeling that ''our lines have
fallen in pleasant places" with the
words of the last song still echoing n
our hearts:
THE Lord will provide
He will bring thee safely home.''

CREAMERY Ar ORLEANS.

X. Il. Sturgis, of Allegan, Mich,
western manager of the True Dairy
Supply Co., of Syracuse, NY, through
X. B. Jewett, special agent of the com
pany, has just closed the contract for a
creamery at Orleans. In a letter to
the BANNER he says.
''The farmers of Michigan are be-
ginning to learn that they cant com
pete with their Dakota friends in the
raising OF wheat and other grains, nor
the Texas ranchman in the raising of
beef But after several years of sue
cessful dairying they find that by the
means OF well equipped cooperative
creameries they are enabled TO produce
superior article of creamery butter
that the large eastern cities are glad
to pay a big price for in cash. Nor Is
this all-aside from an income once "A
month from their butter, IL makes IA
home market for their coarse fodder
and grains, that by feeding it TO their
cows helps bring up their farms in
stead OF making them poorer. And il
is very gratifying to Mr.. Sturgis to
know that out of the large number OF
creameries that he has built in the last
few years in Michigan there is not one
of them that is not doing good busi-
ness, paying the farmers good prices
for their butter, and at the same time
paying the stockholders nice divi
dend on their money invested. And
until more of the butter is made in
factories and less on the farm Michi-
gan dairymen can't expect to come to
the front In dairying
A meeting of the stockholders was
held Monday and the following eXecu-
tive committee were chosen Geo II
Hoyt, Ezra Pierce, Chas. Lambertson,
Al. Hale and Geo. w. Conner. A
site for placing the creamery was Sc
ected and building operations will
begin at once.

REMEMBER THE MAINE.

The following excellent poem was
written by Uncle VIM. Spencer of this
city Sunday. After reading the notice
that as our Flying Squadron goes into
action Captain Schley will display
from the mast head of his flag ship a
banner bearing the words, Remember
the Maine"
Remember the Maine, boys remember the
Maine
Remember your comrades so brutally slain
Remember the gallant ship sunk meath the
wave
BY the treacherous hands of the cowardly
knaye.
Remember the slaughter starvation and woe
In Cuba's fair isle by the blood.thirsty foe,
Whose crimes, dark as Hell, only blood can
atone;
While we hear near our borders their starved
victims moan.
Remember the glory our brave tars have won !;
Remember the world on your struggle looks on
To note If the valor bequeathed by your sires
Stil holds in your breasts, unextingushed, its
fires.
Then stand by your guns boys, heed not the
vain boast
Nor threat of the insolent, murderous host
But hurl the death bolts as we shout the refrain,
Remember the Maine, boys, remember the
Maine.

An exchange says: We want to hear
just one sermon from the man who can
beat the preacher preaching. We
want to witness one days teaching by
the fellow who can beat the teacher
teaching. We want to watch the fell
low DO a days plowing who can beat
the farmer farming. And there's the
fellow who knows more about medi-
cines than all the doctors in the uni
verse; we want to see him practice his
art on himself just for one day. And
then there is the fellow who can beat
the editor ten TO one on getting out a
paper We want to see what kind Of a
sheet he would issue from the press.
The trouble with such characters is
that they cannot attend to their own
business, and therefore think they
know all about that of other people.

has now been added TO Professor Bliss
Perry's volume devoted to Lincoln in
the Little Masterpieces series. This

has been available outside of the back
numbers of Mcclure 5 Magazine. Pro-
fessor Perry has had remarkable sue
cess in editing these Little Master
pieces;r the Lincoln volume, just
ready and the volume devoted to the
best writings of Benjamin Franklin
are models of inspiring reading for
young men who are earnest in their
endeavor to make "a success of life.
