their annual meeting at Keokuk last
Sunday evening. Rev. Lewis. who has
been at BuXtCn First Methodist
church, is sent back to the same
charge. Rev. Robinson. who had the
Second Methodist church at Buxton
goes to Clarinda and Bedford. The
Abba pastor, Rev H. J. Bell, is sent
here for another year. The selection
of Rev. Bell for this charge will be
especially pleasing to the Abba people
regardless of color or their church
utilization. He is Il good Christian
man and has done great work here
He will be more useful in this field
than he has in the past because the
people have become acquainted with
him and know he is every way
worthy and honorable. Rev. Lewis is
likewise very popular at Buxton and
the residents of that place are pleased
that he will remain with them.

present and they thoroughly enjoyed
the excellent program that was given
If the interurban extended to the city
park and there were concerts there
every Sunday afternoon during the
summer months there are hundreds OF
people who would spend many pleasant
hours there.
