many of our people have left us.
Several families and few guests are
with us yet.
Our district conference from the
end to the 4th was a very interesting
and profitable one.
The called meeting of the Commu-
nifty resulted in the election of Mr..
Fred Martin instead of Mr.. j. P. Nc
Key, whose place was declared vacant
on the annual committee. Quite a
discussion was entered into about
light and especially about water,
which has since resulted in the forma-
ton of two companies. 1t is to be
hoped that this vexed question will
soon be settled as there are promi-
nent business men of this place and
Oakland in both companies.
1t was found that more room was
required to accommodate the people,
so work is already begun. F. P. Ar
mold is putting an addition to his cot
tage. The Chautauqua Hotel is pre-
pairing to put up quite an annex.
w. H. H. Sheets, of Pittsburg, who
has spent several seasons here, has
begun the foundation for large and
handsome cottage. Others are to
follow.
The work of remodeling the build
ing near the depot in Loeb Lynn is
being pushed along and will make a
splendid appearance when completed.
The news of the death of our be-
loved President caused deep sorrow
throughout this community. At the
opening of our preaching service here
Sabbath morning Mr.. McKinley's
favorite hymn, Lead Kindly Light y
was sung. Then in the evening a
very interesting memorial service was
held, in which different ones took
part, making short addresses.
DR.. Davidson, who left us on the
last day of the Chautauqua for Eu-
rope as delegate to the Ecumenical
Conference, expects to return in Oc-
tober. His family makes short visit
to Washington this week, but will re-
turn here before leaving for their
home at Cuyahoga Falls.
