THE LAST REUNION DAY
The 'Botna Valley Veterans Closed A
Three Days Reunion At The Fair
Grounds And Gone Home

The last day of the reunion was
held yesterday at the fair grounds
and proved equally as pleasing and
satisfactory as the two previous
days. The veterans feel that they
did all in their power to make the
affair success, and are we'll pleas
ed with the effort. While it ie al
ways the intention to make these
meetings interesting to outsiders
and beneficialto those who attend,
their prime object is to afford the
veterans an opportunity of meeting
together and enjoying the social
intercourse among their fast thin
ming ranks, and instill into the
hearts and minds of the rising gen.
Grafton lessons of patriotism and
love of country. The 1905 meeting
of the Botna Valley Veterans Assoc
citation certainly proved success
in these two lines. Some eloquent
speakers we're present and their
talks were an inspiration to the
young that cannot help but make
better citizens of them. The election
of new officers and selection of
meeting place for next year has
been deferred until later. A meet
ing of the association will be held
in the near future, at which time
these matters will be acted on
The Saturday Atlantic Telegraph.

Christian Church Notes

The new plan of finance is work
ing like charm. If everybody re-
members to put in his or her envel-
OPP each Lords day the church debt
will be promptly met.
"Jewels In Unexpected Places"
will be the theme of the sermon on
Sunday night. Subject in the morn
ing: Watching With Christ" All
are cordially invited to attend.
Now that the cooler weather has
come the attendance at both Bible
School and church ought to meas
urably increase. A house full of
people inspires the preacher to do
his best.
The bestcongregationy ct greeted
the paster last Sunday afternoon at
the Audubon township church. He
trusts that the people of that COM
munity may yet crowd the little
church aud that many may find
their way to the Bible School which
commences at two o'clock, one
hour before the preaching service.
On Friday, September seventh
the pastor will deliver sero-comic
lecture entitled Sunshine and
Moonshine." Admission, single
tickets loo; tickets admitting two,
25c; children under twelve, 1Oc; pro
ceeds for benefit of church, Doors
open at half past seven, lecture be-
gins at eight o'clock. 1t is hoped
that many of our citizens will pat
rOnize the lecture.
Last week our notes being hand
ed in late several things had to be
omitted one OF which was the sue
cess of the reception social given
at the parsonage. A large number
were present, the refreshments all
that could be desired, the receipts
gratifying. The button-hole boquet
pinned on each of the guests was
quite an innovation and much ap.
preciated.
