The Chester Herald has the following
to say OF the Grafton Of Rev. Gammons
at that place Old Settlers Day: "The
speech of the day by Rev. John
Gammons was something out of the
usual line but it was as interesting as
1t was original in plot, and numerous
were the favorable criticisms which 1t
elected. The speaker appealed to
the ripening qualities of old age and
to the vigor and enthusiasm Of youth
with equally forcible words Ry way
of splicing hio guod, sensible talk he
introduced numerous stories which
were very amusing and suggestive.
We shall be pleased to hear Rev
Gammons in Chester again.
