"Charles l.. Beachley, who was
graduated at the Middletown High
School on une LIST, walked 10000

more Sun of lune |.
The above clipping contains in it
food for careful thought. Our modern
civilization has met ever.increasing
demands for higher standards and
better facilities for living until there
is n growing tendency to think that
an easy going life is all that should
be required Of the average citizen,
and that that which requires effort
makes an unreasonable demand upon
ones time and talents.
The thrifty youth above referred
to has won coveted honor which
will be treasure to him as long as
he lives, because of the brave fight
he has made, because of the victory
with which he has been rewarded,
and because Of the education he has
acquired. But by comparison with
his classmates his diploma will be the
best plum in the bunch because it
was the hardest TO pluck.

ANNIVERSARY SERMON
Rev. March Chase. Rector Of
Trinity Church for Twenty-nine
Years.

Sunday morning, June IL, was the
twenty ninth anniversary of Rev. M.
Chase's rectorship of Trinity Parish of
this city, and in accordan( th the
announcement which Mr.. Cnt.s, made
the Sunday previous, he preao he'd an
anniversary sermon. He SPOKE of the
many changes which had taken place
in the parish and city since his coming
here twenty nine years ago. Only
comparatively few of those who were
here then are here now; almost new
generation has come upon the scene.
He alluded to the efforts put forth and
the money contributed to carry on the
work of the church and the Sunday
school. He said that harmony prevailed
among the members of the parish, both
before and during his rectorship. He
spoke with thankfulness for the bless
sings of the past, and with hopefulness
for the future, and gave the following
statistics of the parish for the last
twenty nine years:
Number of baptisms. s.............3 1896
Number of confrmations .242
Number of marriages. :. .........1 .102
| Number of families connected with
parish. .................. w
Number of communicates $50
1t is but simple justice to Mr.. Chase
to state that he has ever sought to
faithfully discharge his duties as Rector,
and to fearless proclaim the truths of
Christianity, in love, and with good will
towards all people.

Alfred Penhallegon Pre- Sc nte d
With Jewel and Representative
Collar.
At the session of the Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows and the Rebekah AS
sembly the sixty fourth and twenty
fifth respectively, the following from
Mineral Point were in attendance:
A. Penhallegon, grand master
Henrietta Penhallegon, chaplain of the
the assembly; G.. G. Hubenthal, chair
man of the committee on appeals; VIM.
Campton, delegate from Iowa Lodge
No. 1 Mrs. M. j. Treweek, delegate
from Mineral Point, Rebekah Lodge,
No. 147; Prof. j. w. Anderson and wife.
Bros. Anderson was on the entertain
ment program at the reception given
Tuesday night.
Green Bay did themselves proud in
the way of entertaining the delegates.
This being the oldest place in the
state, many incidents relating to its
history were heard.
A. Penhallegon, who has served the
Grand Lodge as Grand Master for the
past year, was elected Grand Represen-
tative to the Sovereign Grand Lodge
for two years. This is the highest
honor the state can confer on one of
its members.
The next session of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge will be held at Atlanta,
Georgia, in September.
At the close of the sessions of the
Grand Lodge Mr.. Penhallegon was
presented with a Past Masters Jewel
and Grand Representative Collar,
both costly and of beautiful designs
The face of the jewel is inscribed as
follows:
"A. Penhallegon, P. G.. NJ, Wisconsin,
The emblems are heart and hand,
with the words:
Friendship, Love, Truth
On the other side of the jewel is en-
graved the following:
Presented to A. Penhallegon by the Grand
Lodge of Wisconsin, June 9, 19l0.''

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
A Great Deal of Necessary Work
: Underway.

A Great Deal of Necessary Work
Underway.
The road grader is tearing up and
improving the roads On the everlasting
hills round about Mineral Point; and in
many cases the work of the grader is
supplemented and improved by the use
of the road drag.
A noticeable improvement has been
made on what is known as the middle
Waldwick road, in the town of Mineral
Point. This road of steep grades has
been put in good condition by James
Waters, pathmaster, connecting on the
east with the district Waldwick in
which James Jackson is pathmaster,
and in which the roads have been i'm
proved in like manner
Out on the old Galena road, south
west Of town, in the district in which
Henry Quick is pathmaster, very exten-
sive work has been done with a grader.
Thomas Collins, with two large traction
engines, has furnished the propelling
power.
IF the work on the graders could be
followed up with steam roller and in
places with crushed stone the roads of
this section might be said to be on the
highway towards improvement. The
real steep pitches ought to be perma-
nently improved by the use of the
petroleum product which holds the
maccadam in place.
Automobile owners and others in
Mineral Point are helping the good
roads movement by voluntary contribu-
tions towards the employment of road
drags. On the whole there is consider
able progress, which it is hoped will be
augmented year by year.
