CHURCH Bull DING.
The Breaking Up of Old Ties; the
Disturbing of Sacred, Hal

Quite Unexpectedly to both pastor
and people the work of wreeking the
old Presbyterian church was begun on
Monday afternoon of this week. The
time of giving possession To the prop
erty did not expire until the first of
November but the Bohrer Bros, we're
so anxious to begin work while the
weather is propitious that they made
some very interesting propositions to
the officers of the church with the re-
suit that the authorities of the
church. waived their rights TO the
use of the building for this week
At this writing the building looks as
though it had passed through a
wreck, and its present appearance
prompts the thought of THE passing

ton of Presbyterians and its newer
adherents, this may mean little or
nothing, but to the older members and
friends it means the breaking of old
ties. the disturbance of sacred, hal

ATTRACTED LARGE CROWD.
The Recital Given at the Christian
Church Grand Success.

A real treat was given those who
were fortunate enough to attend the
recital at the Christian church last
Monday night, given by Mrs. Julian
and Mrs. Day of Long Beach, Cal,
and Mrs. Robert Cain, Jr., of Stella.
The ladies kindly offered to give
the recital for the building fund for
the new church and that their gener-
osity was appreciated was very evi-
dent from the crowded house that
main body of the church and the
Sunday School room was taken and
many stood in the back part of the
rooms.
Every number on the program was
good and it would be hard to single
out one and say it was the best. The
program was a full one and each of
the ladies were liberal and respond
ed to several encores. Mrs.
Julian's ability as a reader is well
known in our city and she was given
a hearty greeting. Her readings, as
usual. were well chosen and she was
repeatedly recalled. Mrs. Day has
sung in Falls City before and was no
stranger to our people. She was Civ
en- the same cordial greeting and
sincere welcome as heretofore. Her
recalls were numerous, and her en-
cores always well chosen, giving
abundant satisfaction. Mrs. Robert
Cain has sung in our city so often
her ability is well known and her
many friends were delighted to know
she would appear on the program.
AS usual she delighted all who heard
her and it was a fitting close to a
splendid entertainment that two such
beautiful voices as Mrs. Gains and
Mrs. Days should be blended in
Rolfe's beautiful duet, Sailor Sighs."
Mrs. T. J. Gist is a wonderfully cap
able accompanist and she assisted
materially in the success of the pro-
gram.
The ladies held an informal rec
option at the close of the recital and
were greeted by their many admiring
friends whose hearty compliments
were showered upon them.
Financially, the entertainment was
success, about SIS being added to
the building fund.

feeble and paralysis was feared An
other of the real pioneers of the
county has been called. for Joseph
Forney has been a continuous resi-
dent either around this city or Rulo,
his first home, since the fall or 1854.
Few of the early pioneers remain and
1t cannot fail to bring sadness to all
to see those passing away who first
fought the battles and endured the
hardships of life on the plains, that
We. the later generations, might enjoy
the abundance of the present.

rison county, Ohio May 10, 1924 and
grew To manhood in Wayne county,

Nettie, survive the father. Beside
those of his immediate family circle
the deceased leaves one brother, S.
b. Forney, seventeen grandchildren
and eighteen great-grandchildre and
many nieces and nephews, several of
whom We're here and attended the

For many years Mr. Forney and his
family lived in and near Rulo. He
took up fine homestead and follow
ed farming He was frugal and
thrifty, and succeeded in accumulat-
ing enough means to provide well
for his children and insure a good
living and life of ease to himself and
wife in their declining years. He gave
up the farm many years ago and has
been a resident of this city ever since
He was of quiet, unassuming manner,
honest and straightforward in his
dealings among men. His upright
living has won for him the respect
of all who knew him and he will be
mourned by many friends who will
speak of him, as a just man gone to
his reward
The funeral services were held at
the family residence Tuesday after
noon conducted by Rev. Reichei OF
the Baptist church and were attended
by large assembly of old friends
and neighbors. The interment was
made in Steele cemetery.

A Fifth. a Sixth, a Seventh
and Eighth Term?

Referring to the republican
nominees, who were defeated
by the third term" talk
four years ago, the Falls City
News, in their issue of Nov. 8,
1905, had this to say.
"WhiIe these candidates
are personally very pleasant
gentlemen, can you afford to
sustain them in the false
and hosgish position they
have assumed? What assur-
ance have you that a fifth,
sixth, a seventh and eighth
term will not be the aim of
those now in control? Do
your duty as citizen and
in so doing you will prove
to be the best partisan"
The question now arises,
what assurance have YOU" Mr..
Voter, that Hutchings, Gagnon,
Fenton, Oliver and the others
will not aim for "a fifth, a
sixth, a seventh and eighth
term?" In the News of Nov,
10, 1905, you were promised that
they would NEVER seek a
third term and that these same
candidates then believed that
