uTudy. Inc sermon Dy Rev. u.
w. Duval, of Marietta, was a
most appropriate one and high
ly enjoyed by an attentive au-
dience. After the sermon a fine
dinner was spread in the grove.
There was plenty for all present
and, to say ali enjoyed this part
of the program is saying the
least of it. At half past one the
audience reassembled at the
church, and the names of all
: the members of this church who
have died in late years were call
ed by the secretary, Prof. Henry
r. Hunt, after which Hon. Her
bert Clay, of Marietta, was in
troduced, and he held the large
audience spell bound for an hour
with his eloquence. His speech
was appropriate to the occasion
and he left with us many sweet
thoughts to think about as we
pass along the way. He is truly
a chip off the old block, since we
could see in him the image of his
distinguished father, Senator A.
S. Clay, of sacred memory, and
we expect to hear much of Her
bert in the future, as he is cap
able Of being one of our foremost
men.
After Mr.. Clay's speech Prof.
j. R. Walker was introduced and
made fine speech appropriate
and we'll delivered. Mr.. Walker
has only been among us this
year, but we find him to be al
ways on the side of right.
Next Prof. H. r. Hunt was
called on. He only spoke for a
few moments, but left impress
siOnS that will last and be a help
to many in the future. Prof.
Hunt has been with US now al
most four years, and the longer
he stays the more friends he
makes.
Last, but in no wise least,
came our pastor, Rev. J. L. Ware,
who, for a few moments, almost
made the walls of the old church
shake with his appropriate and
eloquent speech.
The congregation sang God
Be With You Till We Meet
Again" then the children were
called to the grove and all given
punches of lovely flowers with
which to decorate the graves of
those we loved here. Thus end
ed a day that will long be re-
membered at MacLand.
