John q. Taylor OF West Chester, who has
made himself name for his generous ways
10 spending his wealth in the erection Of
monuments in old Bingham Friends

memorial-a handsome granite monument

This makes the fourth monument Mr..

during the past half dozen years, one being
lofty shaft to Jesus Christ with statue /;
one to his wife and child; one to his
grandfather and now one to Lafayette.
Sunday being the anniversary of the
surrender of Lord CORVALLIS he deemed 1t
proper time to complete his work OF love
and admiration for the distinguished French
general who fought and bled on Brandy
wines battlefield,
This monument is about 1S feet high and
Mr.. Taylor hopes that some one will some
day surmount it with handsome statue of
the general, and to this hoped-for end he
has built accordingly.
The monuments erected by Mr.. Taylor
represents an outlay of over $4,000.

Of England. It was performed by two
men joining hands across each other S
wrists. and then having made the per-
son to be heaved up sit upon their arms
they lifted him three times In the air.
This custom had. undoubtedly, origi-
nally been intended to signify the JOY OF
