Ing the crowd assembled at the Presbyterian
church, and we judge, numbered nearly 400
people. After music and the recital of piece
by Miss Fossie Kerns, in honor of the sleeping
brave, Mr.. J. Q. A. Campbell delivered an
excellent address. All who heard the address
speak in the highest terms of it. This closed
one of the most interesting Decoration Days
we have had for years.

Charles &. Rogers, aged % years, died June
2, and the funeral services were conducted at
his home last Monday forenoon. 1t was a
! very sad funeral, owing to the fact that his
young wife, daughter of Daniel Terryl, was
buried just five weeks before, and also Mrs
Howard Terryl, sister-in-law and daughter of
William Staadt, was buried FIVE weeks and
two days before. These families, thus con-
nected, have experienced a very sad affiiction
and many hearts are filed with the deepest
sympathy for them.
1t is pleasant indeed to be kindly remem-
bered as one passes another milestone in life's
journey. 1t was on Monday evening, June S,
the pastor of the Presbyterian church had
seated himself with three or four of the Sab
bath school teachers ready to proceed with
the study of the Sabbath school lesson, think
ing it strange that some Of the faithful were
not present 1t was extremely warm and in
order to feel comfortable, coat and collar had
been laid aside. The electric light company,
who had engaged to put lights in the house,
= for reasons unknown to the pastor, had got
Y a hustle on them and put them in that day,
/, and he was just thinking how brilliantly they
shone when suddenly the silence was broken
: by the music of the band at the door and some
: little lassies who were several years younger
than he, appeared at the door, peeping
through the screen, guying the pastor in his
n shirt sleeves, with their giggly-giggles and
teasy-te-hes. Desiring to know the cause of
d this disturbance, he went out on the porch
n and found the lawn covered with men, women
and children, who had come with ice cream
Strawberries and cake, to remind him of the
d fact that it was his birthday. Nearly 175 par
took of the refreshments and the whole occa
r sion was crowned with spirit of joy and
: gladness. The pastor, with his family. desire
= to express, nearly language can do it,
,. their deep appreciation of this kind remem-
Drance ana h;tppy greeting, not forgetting
IS those who were bodily absent but present in
Isptrit, and especially those whose hearts are
h burdened with sorrow and bereavement.
