FRIENDSvlLLE TO HAVE REUNION
Practically Settled That Old Soldiers
Will Be Entertained There.

A special from Homecoming to the
Cumberland News says: 1t appeared
as if the proposed old soldiers reunion
which has been agitated for some time
would have to ''go a begging" for
the want of place to hold it but Sher-
man Post, G. A. R., of Friendsville, in
a letter to Captain John c. Donald has
taken the matter up and offered to en-
terrain their comrades of Allegany and
Garrett counties. Comrade r. H.
Friend and Acting Adjutant VIM. H..
Friend are actively interested in secur-
ing the reunion for that place and as
soon as a suitable date can be agreed
upon arrangements will begin. Since
the question of place has long been the
annoying hindrance the movement will
now be practically assured and the re-
union held at Friendsville.

FATHER OF SIXTEEN
onaS E. Gnagey Hopes TO Attend
~ Next Gnagey Reunion With His
Numerous ProSeny.

Jonas E. Gnagey, formerly of Grants
Vile, Md, who for some years past has
resided in Baltimore, Md, pulled up
stakes there last week and will hence
forth make his home with his eldest son,
Edward, washington, Pa,
Mr.. Gnagey, who is an expert car
penter and mechanic, worked on the
construction of an electric power house
at Millvalle, w. Va, near Harper S
Ferry, the greater part of the summer.
Before starting for little Washington,
he spent a week with his son j. E.
Gnagey, Jr., at Allentown, Pa. He
stopped off at Meyersdale for a few
hours last Saturday to pay for two
yearly subscriptions to The Republican,
one for himself, the other for his son at
Allentown.
Although Mr. Gnagey is but in his
sixtieth year, and does-not look over 50,
he is quite a patriarch in the matter of
descendants, as he is the father of six
teen children and has seven sons and
seven daughters living, also number
of grandchildren. All of his sons are
practical electricians, or are employed
in one capacity or another by electrical
companies, and all are doing well. They
are: Edward of Washington, Pa.
Harry, Bradford, Pa; William, San
Francisco. I. F.. Allentown. Pa:
Blaine, McKeesport, Pa; Homer, Pitts
burg; RAYMOND, East McKeesport.
The seven daughters are all married and
scattered through several state from
Maryland to California.
Mr.. Gnagey is urging all of his chill
dren and their families to attend the
Gnagey reunion this fall. There are
enough of his progeny to make a large
family reunion by themselves. Meyers

BULGIN THROWsH HOT
SHOT INTO THE
DEVILS CAMP
Big Union Revival of Ell
Paso Churches Opens
With Large At
tendance.

Bulgin's big meetings opened Sun
dav evening at the tabernacle with ev-
cry seat filled and a few standing In
the rear of the improvised house Of
worship on Mills street. 1t was an
suspicious opening for series OF
meetings which are expected to es-
tsbHsh a record for attendance IN FL
Paso. There were fully 5000 people IN
the big enclosure and the chorus choir
on the choir platform numbered over
200. All denominations were repre-
sented by pastors and people, many az
tending who had no church affill-
atfons One row of seats on the 1e1t
side of the big tabernacle, was occu-
pled by number OF Christian Chinese
led by little Mar Wing Kee. the ex-
office mayor of Chinatown. A few ne
groes of the old camp meeting school
also occupied a bench apart from tna
main sections and were much interest>
ed in the big meeting.
DR.. BuIgin was introduced by Rev.
Caspar S. Wright, after the musical
program, which lasted half an hour.
During the program, professor George
L. Rose and Mrs. Rose sang a duet
and later in the evening professor
Rose sang a solo. The singing OF the
massed chorus choir was most effect
i've and is TO be q factor In the sue
cess of these meetings. Prayer was OF
fered by Rev. Perry James Rice. Of the
First Christian church and Rev. Mr..
Wright, of the TRINITY Methoolst
church, made a characteristic speech
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-11-14

appealing to the audience for a large
collection.
Dr. Bulgin, hoarse from continued
speaking in the open air at similar
meetings, made his Introductory talk
by announcing that the meetings were
10 make up a campaign of reason and
that he did not want any scared re-
ligion to enter into it. He asked for
a fair minded attitude and that preju-
dice be laid aside in considering his
work while here Although so hoarse
that it was an effort for him to speak.
DR.. Bulgin made himself heard in all
parts Of the tabernacle and his reason
ing and logic was clear cut, after the
manner Of the lawyer, the speaker
having been a practicing attorney be-
fore entering the ministry.
Taking for his subject THE Cues
tion of the Age" DR.. Bulgin preached
a forceful sermon in defense of tho
immortality Of Christ, using Paurs
great teachings as the basis of his log
ical arguments. His style is as force
fui as his thought. He works as hard
as a man saving wood and he gets re-
suits in the same proportion. The
meeting closed with the singing of the
invitational hymn by the chorus choir
and the usual request for prayers
Dr. Bulgin's subject for Monday
evening is: The Unreasonable De-
mands Of Unbelief"

SHERIFF WILL PUT
BAN ON GUN TOTING

Gun toting and the promiscuous
wearing of deputy sheriffs badges will
cease after the first of December, sher-
if elect Peyton J. Edwards says. The
newly elected sheriff will take office
about December first and the first
thing he will do after appointing his
working deputies will be to revise the
list Of deputy sheriffs who will main
tain the peace and dignity of the state
in FL Paso county.
No one will carry gun but deputy
sheriff on duty, the new sheriff de-
clares emphatically. Neither will any
one wear a deputy sheriffs badge but
these same working and office men.
No more street car deputies will be al
lowed in order that the street car COM
pany may be prevented from collecting
the usual 1.-THE per round trip. Sheriff
elect Edwards says he has not decided
upon his appointments for the new
deputy sheriffs, but will announce the
list before taking office.

EVERY GOAT SHOWN
AT THE FAIR SOLD
Most Of Them Go to Mexico,
to Improve the
Breeds.

FL Paso has done much to encourage
the Angora goat industry. Every goat
exhibited at the fair was sold. Most
of them went to Mexico, and this indi-
Gates that an effort is to be made to
improve the grade raised in that coun-
try.
Millions of goat skins are shipped
from Mexico to the United States and
also to European countries each year
but owing to the duty on mohair but
little effort has been made in the past
to grow Angoras and there are very
few pure BRIDE ones in the country. Many
of the crosses can be found in several
sections of the republic, but little at
tention is paid to raising good breeds.
Now it will be different and all this as
a result of the National Mohair Grow
ers' association meeting in Ell PasG
during the fair.

CHIPS FROM BULGIN's AK.
.+++++++++++++++-

L am going to hew pretty close to
the line. II the chips hit you in the
face, get your face right.
Every man in FL Paso is lost man
until he gets a personal belief in God.
Kelley gives you a rebellious stoIn-
ach- Jesus Christ gives you a rebel
lious soul. Both save men.
I do not believe in deathbed CONVEX
sions. Many men try to use religion rs
a fire escape to get out Of hell and
into heaven.
Every man should be a Christian be-
cause it is right. Christianity is char
acter and character cannot be devei-
oped on a deathbed.
II the disciples did not really see
Christ, they must have had pickles,
sauerkraut and cheese for supper. and
had the visions in their sleep.
Paul gave up a salary Of s17,S64 TO
follow the teachings of Christ. Yet
they said he had a sunstroke that
caused him to do it. If it was a sun
stroke, for heavens sake let FL -Paso
get one tomorrow
If Jesus Christ was only human, why
have you not evolved another like Him
In 20 centuries Of development and adj
yancement? To say that He IS a mere
man is ridiculous
To deny that Christ lived and WORK
ed is like the woman who said that
she knew that Homer did not write
the Illiad. She said another man by
the same name wrote It.
Christ is the motor, the handspring
of human endeavor.
1 never read Blackstone to criti-
else but to get all out of it I could.
Read your Bible the same way.
If could find Jesus Christ guilty
of a mistake 1 would burn my Bible
at once.
The hub of the wheel of this revival
is to be Christ Jesus redeemed from
the dead.
God made Adam late Saturday night
and made him rest with Him on the
next day.
Ell Paso is a good city. You can
Judge it by the show windows. The
merchants advertise in your newspa-
pers. Not to advertise is like the
young fellow throwing his girl a kiss
in the dark He knows what he is do
ing but no one else does
Infidelity is destruction without ono
element of construction.
