Was an entire surprise to him to be
called upon to make a speech on this
occasion. He expressed his gratitude
to be with the good people Of Colony
church. After an abserce Of 26
years to have the privilege of ming
ling and worshiping here at this dear
old srot. l Will assure you that there
are ties here in that graveyard that
bind me to this spot closer than any
where else On earth.
l. It is more than source of gratif-
cation to me to come back to this dear
old spot.
I remember when I was boy when
my father brought me here. You had
then standing out yonder very
common old church building to wor-
ship in. Now you have most beau
tiful and we'll equipped church build
ing to worship in. Since that time
there has been most wonderful elec-
trio force Of progress sweeping all
J over the land and that wonderful
stride of progress has built this beau
tiful church. But we must never for
get that all of these grand improve
ments have come only from those
dear old heads, and we should al
ways meet so long as we live and cele-
brate and perpetuate their memories.
In conclusion my dear Christian
| friends assure you that it is one OF
the greatest pleasures Of my life to
meet here with you on old folks day.
I shall never forget these dear old
pastors for the good work which they
! have done.
DR.. Crosson was very emotional IN
his speech, showing that what he said
came from the bottom of his heart.
Next was the closing, hymn No. 464.
Before the benediction was pronounc-
ed Rev. Sigh expressed the gratitude
Of the pastor and congregation to
those brethren for their noble and
well delivered addresses.
The benediction was then pro-
nounced by Rev. 2. W. Bedenbaugh.
This ended one of the most profitable
DAYS of religious service ever held at
Colony to my. memory. Will other
churches follow and keep up this good
work that Brother A. H. Kohn has
started in memory Of We old folks7
May God help you to do so Is the
expression Of our heart.

Two saw mill accidents happened
near here yesterday. Mr.. Ernest

by the carriage, thrown down, the log

MT get his leg torn up r.,
The other misfortune. was to MI.

Singley. He ar his brothers are
running a shingle saw, and while ne
was feeding the saw, his hand was
caught by the saw, one Of his fingers
was cut entirely off and two Others
were almost cut off, only leaving the
skin on the out side Of the hand. The
wounded hand was dressed by DR.. W.
