OF THE TWENTY-FIVE
YEARS IN HIS SERVICE.
BY REV. J. s. HENRY.

We, the remnants of the First Bap-
fist church, of Marion, Ky, meet on
this, our first reunion after an exist
ance of twenty-five years, three months
and thirteen days. Our church was
constituted, March 18th, 1884, of 6
Presbytery consisting of Elders ]. M.
Peay, J. w. Crewdson and T. C. Car
ter and of the following members:
j. P. Pierce and wife, Emmalint
Pierce; Florence and Cora Pierce; NJ
II. Weldon and wife, Florence Weldon
B. F. Grove and wife, Carrie Grove;
j. j. Hughes and wife, Susan Hughes
w. r. Gibbs and wife, Mary Gibbs; 7
A. Cole and wife, Mary Cole; j. W.
Weldon and wife, Rosa E. Weldon
VIM. Hughes and wife, Jane A. Hughs
j. w. Johnson, Mollie Beard. n. M.
Boucher. Annie Duvall, j. S. Henry
and wife, Bette Henry.
AS we meet to-day our minds turn
back to the fleeting years of our past
history mingled with both joy and
sorrow. Sorrow, as the names Of those
we love are called, those who once join
ed so heartily with us in the service,
who wrought so valiantly for God in
their day, are no more. We cherish
their memories, their heroic efforts are
not forgotten by us. It may be said of
them they were not that class of men

silver JUBILEE
And Reunion Of The Survivors Of
The First Baptist Church, Of
Marion Kentucky.

The occasion of this meeting, was
an invitation issued by Judge j. P.
Pierce for a reunion of all the consti-
tuting members of First Baptist church
of Marion, KY, to meet. June 30th,
1909, at his home on north Main street.
Providentially every one remaining,
was permitted to meet at the time in
dicated. Their names are as follows:
W. r. Gibbs, J. p. Pierce, J. w. John

S. Henry, VIM. Hughes, Mrs. Florence
Weldon, Mrs. Bette Henry, Mrs. Flor
ence Yandell, Mrs. Cora Crider, Mrs.
Carrie Grove, Mrs. N. NJ. Order and
Mrs. Annie Duvall.
Our host informed us after a short
impressive talk, that he desired Bro.
Gibbs to conduct the devotional exer-
cises which consisted in scriptural read
ing. prayer and very spiritual re-
ligious talk, which was highly appreci-
ated by all present. Surely Bro. Gibbs
will never be better prepared than at
that time.
AS these exercises closed, our hos
tess, Mrs. Pierce, together with her
daughter, Mrs. Flynn, informed us
they had prepared dinner for this oc-
casion and invited our number into her
spacious dining room. There we
found one of the most lovely tables Ia
dened with beautiful flowers and with
plates for the fourteen. Here, accord
ing to the verdict of the whole number
was spent one of the most delightful
hours of our lives. The dinner cannot
be described by the writer, only to say,
here was spread everything to tempt
the human palate. We ate. we talked
reminiscently of the past, until one Of
those veterans was heard to say, sure
~ God has spared my life for this day
was never so happy in my whole pill
grimage." The delightful feast being
ended we repaired to the halls and We
randas Of this lovely home where the
hours were passed in social chats anC
often referring to our past history
Our host then invited us into the parlol
where he informed us he had requested
Bro. j. S. Henry to prepare and read &
brief history of the first twenty-five
years of the First Baptist church OF
Marion, KY. which here follows.

In conclusion, my brethren a ID sis

To Him we have given the best years

HAwkEYE TEAMS STRENGTH.


Track Men Will Make Different Show
ing Than in Past Two Years.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, May 11.-Comparison Of
the records made in the meets in the
state Saturday, shows that the Hawk
eye track team will be reckoned with
in the state meet May 20, and that the
men under Catlin's tutelage will make
a different showing than in the past
two years.
Captain Stutsman will make a
strong bid in the discus, as his throw
excelled anything done in the state by
the other college weight men. Kohl
will figure for a place in the sprints,
and Thomas and Hanlon are expected
to win points in the quarter. Keefe is
sure of placing in the half mile, as he
is by far the most promising distance
man who has run for the Old Gold
in recent years, if he can get into con-
dition. Riley is gaining his old run
ming strength slowly, and it is doubtful
if he will enter the state meet, despite
reports to the contrary.
Engstrom is consistent performer
in the two jumps, and his supporters
here expect him to score heavily in
these two events. Hyland is gaining
in speed every day in the hurdles, and
he is confidently expected by Catlin to
upset the dope decidedly, in the state
meet.

Prof. Robbins received his masters

in the country. In his new position he
will have charge of the horse depart

They also prevent Cor cure, If taken in

Washington, May 11.-Frank B. KEEL

general in charge Of trust prosecu-

Attorney General Wickersham that he
would close his relations with the gov
eminent when he has completed the
work he now has in hand in connection

however, before these two important
cases can be closed up.
Mr.. Kellogg said he was anxious to

probably will give more attention to
politics, being the republican national
committeeman of his state.

Fort Madison, May 11.-W. P. Glyn-
don, the Grundy county prisoner who
was sent to Fort Madison thirty-one
years ago after conviction on a charge
OF numbering a farmers daughter aft
er assaulting her in a field, will be
freed as soon as his pardon is re-
ceived from Des Moines. The docu-
ment is now OH the way.
Glyndon will enter, to him, a new
world. He has never seen a street
car or an automobile, both Of these
modern conveniences having come
into use since he was convicted to
spend the remainder of his days in
prison for the murder of 14-year-old
girl in Grundy county in 1879.
Glyndon will leave the penitentiary
with bank account of $500. During
all of his term he has drawn a pension
of $l2 month and saved all but what
he spent in attempts to secure a par
don. 1t is his intention to at once re-
turn to his old home in Ohio where
his relatives live. He served in an
Ohio regiment during the war;
Glyndon was convicted solely on cir
cumstantial evidence and the pardon
board, after recent hearing, decided
that there was great doubt as to his
guilt. He was convicted of the murder
of girl whose body was found in a
corn field near road where Glyndon
had been seen to pass. He was work
ing as a canvasser at the time.
Is Oldest Prisoner.
Glyndon has the undesirable distinc-
ton of having served longer behind
prison walls than any other living
man. He has made repeated attempts
to secure pardon but only recently
did the pardon board consider his case
favorably. Attorney Frank Heald of
Cedar Rapids, has been representing
him.
The pardon is complete and Glyndon
is restored to all the rights and privi-
leges of citizenship.
Will Visit Cedar Rapids.
Glyndon will go from Fort Madison
to Cedar Rapids, where his attorney
lives. There he will accustom himself
to the life of the twentieth century
and Will see Tor the first time street
cars, automobiles and many other in
MENTIONS that have come into common
use since he was imprisoned. He will
be like a Rip Van Wrinkle or a man
from Mars.
When he feels at home in the world
that is now solsTahge to him, the old
man will leave for eastern Ohio and
spend his declining years. with his peo-
pie there. His old name will be reas-
sumed after having never passed his
lips in thirty years, and the people at
home will never know where he has
been all thru the years. Glyndon's
father was Methodist minister and
the family was prominent.
With the money which he has saved
from his prison labor and his accumu-
lated pension of s12 month, Glyndon
expects to support himself comfortably
and probably will put his money into
a little business.
Governor Carroll acted very prompt
ly in Glyndon's case. The recommends
ton of the board of parole was decided
upon at its meeting last Thursday and
was reported to Governor Carroll on

Grinnell, May 1.-THE city coun-
Gil has just passed and published two
ordinances that make the average cit
izen begin to feel more sure than ever
before, that paving and the introduce
ton of gas for general use, are things
actually about to be. The first ordin-
ance relates to the making of water,
gas, and sewer connections before the
streets are prepared for paving, and
the second regulates the temporary
closing of streets and alleys, while
paving is in progress. Mr.. Mathews
announces that work will begin on the
building and the laying of the twelve
miles of gas mains about the list of
June, and be crowded as fast as posi-
BILE for good work from the start.
Carborated water gas by the Tenney
process is to be furnished. and the ex-
tent Of the buildings and capacity of
the works are said to be sufficient to
supply a city of 10000 people.

SALOONS MAY OPEN
Attorney General Rules That Neither
May 90 nor 81 Will Be Legal Holt
days in Iowa and That Saloons
Need Not Close for Memorial OBJ
servance,

servance.
While not handing in an official
opinion on the subject, Attorney Cen
eral Byers in letter written to City
Solicitor Joseph r. Frailey of FIT
Madison, says that May 81, altho it
may be observed as Memorial day. is
not legal holiday as designated by
the statute and therefore saloons can
not be compelled to remain closed on
that day. The attorney general sug-
gests that if the saloons consult their
own best interests, however, there will
be nothing doing in the alcoholic bev-
erage line on May 81
This view of the attorney general
will not only affect the Monday after
Memorial day, but likewise the Mon
day following July 4, which also falls
on Sunday Interest in the question has
been intense in all sections of the
state.
The attorney general quotes from a
decision of the supreme court of Ne
braska, which says that where statutes
designated certain days as legal hol-
idays and prohibited the courts from
transacting business on such days, the
restriction is confined to the days
named in the statutes and where any
such days falls on Sunday, the sue
ceeding Monday is not to be observed
as such holidays, as far as it may af-
feet the presentment and demand of
commercial paper.
The Iowa statute designates May 80
as legal holiday. Hence under the
Nebraska decision that date and day
is legal holiday and May 81 is not.
