Between fifty and seventy-fve of the
good members OF the United Brethren
church took/the United Brethren parson-
age by storm last night They arrived
at eight O'Clock and remained about two
hours, bestowing everything upon the
pastor and his wife that was good. The
reason given by the congregation for the
sudden charge upon the house was that
they wanted to show their appreciation of
the services rendered by the pastor dur
ing the three years that he has been here
and to welcome him back for the fourth
year. The evening was spent by singing
and good music and a good time was had
by all. The army of welcome visitors
left about ST. worth of provisions and
many expressions of appropriations of the
services rendered by the pastor when
they departed. Rev. Gruver received the
provisions and kind expressions with
many thanks and stated that he entered
upon his fourth year with brighter hopes
for more successful year than even the
three previous years.
