 The following from the Lynn Item of last Saturday is of local interest Mrs. Angeline o. Edgerton is to-day receiving many tokens of esteem in the form of postal cards and gifts, fol Saturday she will have completed 86 years of a very useful life. Mrs. Edgerton is without doubt one of the smartest ladies for her age in the city and looks to be at least 20 years younger than she really is.

 The service held by the evangelistic committee of the federation of church. es at Staffordville Sunday afternoon, was attended by over 100 persons from all parts of the town. J. R. Parkhurst conducted the service and read 3 Cor. HI as scripture lesson. The singing by male quartet from the Hollow was much enjoyed, as was 8 duet by the Misses Belcher and Smith of Staffordville. After an i'm. pressive invocation by Rev. Miss Jones, the speaker of the afternoon, Rev. R. G. Clapp, gave persuasive address on Trusts. The talk was well suited to the outdoor character Ot the meeting and we'll amplified by stories. Trusting in men, God and ourselves, were the themes considered, especially the trust in church mem bership, as between our fellow men, God and the church member himself. If we trust our neighbor and fellow man, we show our trust in God. We have to learn to trust God, not only in pleasure, but in pain and sorrow. When confronted by some terrible temptation man should place his faith and trust in God, rather than in hi fellow men. Following the address member of the committee on boys work spoke briefly on that subject, and Rev. MT. Hamilton delivered thu benediction.
