Sunday the sacrament of the Lords

ference year, will be observed. The
Superintendent of the Sunday School,
Mr.. John A. Latta, desires good at

thing important on hand. Come out
early and see what it is.
The new Firms Point Range Lights
met with approval by the .. S. Light

in which they belong, on Thursday.
The lights are visible at night for
many miles from front view, but
from the rear one would not be aware
of their presence at few hundred
yards distance.
The U. S. mail boxes that were put
up on the rural free delivery routes al
the beginning of the service are being
taken down, as they are so little used
that it is not worth the time spent by
curriers' in tending them daily. Near
