the bright. warm sunshine and excel

the afternoon to driving and automo-

Florence.
A union Thanksgiving service was
held at the Christian church. corner
Seventh street and Harrison avenue.
at II O'Clock In the morning. at which
the sermon was preached by Rev. L.

and groceries were given them by the
donating party to last them most of
the winter. In addition a purse OF
money. equalling one dollar for each
year OF their welded life was present
ed TO them. the contribution OF friends
from the community at large. The
money was given largely by people

of their high citizenship and their
good qualities OF head and heart.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace were not un-
mindful OF the generosity OF their
friends and pronounced Thursday 10
