| Therecfis a bit Of history connected
with the flag pole which points heaven
ward from the top of the graded school
building. 1t was taken from a piece of
timber used in the construction of the
Zimmerman gin house and was sawed by
John Milton Dickson twenty-five years
ago. Mr.. Dickson was one of the first
saw mill men of this section. The piece
of timber used in finishing Westmingter's q
beautiful temple OF education is in a con-
spicuous place and will serve as gentle
reminder Of one who sawed much of the
lumber used in the early history of the
town and one who has gone from among
us to be seen no more in this life.
There will be preaching in the M. e.
