JOncsvillc, June Tomorrow
will be three years since the flood
III the Pacolct River whcnz so much
property was destroyed and so many
lives were lost. On two or three
occasions in the last few days our
people have been reminded of that
awful occasion by heavy rains but
no flood has come down the water
courses as it did three years ago. Tt
seems today os though the rainy
spell was at an end. Lands and
crops have been considerably dam
aged and farm work considerably
set back.
Last Sunday was an all round
day of events in and around Jones'
vile. In the morning there was
regular services at the Presbyterian
church, and at the Methodist church
Rev. D. e. Camak preached the
commencement sermon for the grad
uating class of the Graded School.
The sermon was well suited to
the occasion, and was full
of thought, and much new
thought, to the whole congregation
as well rs to the graduating class.
There was preaching services at
Gilead church in the morning and
in the afternoon the granite shaft
erected over the grave of Robert
N. Leonard was unveiled by the
Woodmen of the world, Camp of
Union, of which Mr.. Leonard was
member. Quite number of 9TH
er Woodmen joined the Union.
Camp headed by band of music
from Union, and the proce re- :.
