Reunion of the Nichols Family

A very delightful reunion of the
Nichols family was held at the home
of ]. P. Nichols at Baxter, Saturday,
July 10, 1918. The children, grand,
children and great-grandchildren of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. David H. Mich
OILS came from various parts of the
state to spend day together. There
were present 102 people, and 102 peo-
pie have never spent happier day.
The sons and daughters of Mr.. Mich
OILS who were present were Rev. ]. H.
Nichols, Spring Hill; Rev. B. B. Mich
OILS, Bona; L. B. Nichols, and ]. P.
Nichols, Baxter; Mrs. G.. D. Byrne,
Monterey; Mrs. ]. A. Boyd, Baxter,
and Mrs. L. A. Boyd, Cookeville. One
son, ]. c. Nichols of Lebanon, who is
visiting in Montana, and one daughter,
Mrs. T. c. Holiday of Nashville, were
not present. Each family was repre-
sented by three generations.
A remarkable feature of this family
is that there has not been a death
among the brothers and sisters in
twenty-seven years. The oldest broth
er, Rev. J. H. Nichols, is 73 years old,
and the youngest brother, J. P. Mich
OILS, Is So years old.
OF the descendants of David Nichols
there are now living 9 children, 81
grandchildren, SO great-grandchildren,
and one great-great-grandchild, max
ing total of 155. Death has removed
SO members of the family, making the
total lineage 1914.
In the afternoon an interesting pro-
gram of music, readings and addresses
was rendered. OF especial interest
was an address by one of the grand
sons, Prof. Paul Nichols of Ripley.
The subject of his remtrks was "This
Great Heritage of Ours" The life and
character of our grandfather was por-
trayed, and we were shown that his
splendid example and noble character
were a greater and more precious her
itage than riches.
The material side of life was not
forgotten at this happy gathering. At
noon bountiful repast was served,
picnic style, which was supplemented
during the afternoon with cooling
creams and lemonade.
With thankful hearts that so many
had been permitted to spend the day
so delightfully."- together the goodbyes
were said.

A Peculiar Fatal Accident

A crowbar falling from the top Of a
bridge on the Tennessee Central rail-
road near Monterey, under which S.
w. White was working at the time,
struck him in the top of the left shoul-
der and entirely pierced his body, the
point coming out just at the groin.
The accident occurred at 1890 o'clock
Saturday morning and medical atten-
tion was summoned at once to attend
him while he was being brought to
Nashville. Reaching the city Satur-
day evening shortly after o'clock, he
was rushed to Forts Infirmary, where
the best medical attention was given
him, but in vain. He died about 8
o'clock.
White was employed by the railroad
company as bridge carpenter and
lived with his wife and two children
near Buffalo Valley He was about 80
years Of age.
He was of large, heavy build and
it is stated by the attending physicians
that only his wonderful constitution
kept him alive during the eight hours
journey to the city and hospital
The cause of the falling of the death
dealing instrument is an absolute mys-
terry, and 1t was not known that it was

The Country Newspaper

"We repeat that advertising in the
country newspapers, properly utilized.
is the most valuable advertising in the
world for its cost" says the New
York Evening Journal. I'VE urge ad-
vertisers to take advantage of the op-
portunities offered by the country
newspapers. We add incidentally,
that we don't own and never expect to
own any country newspaper or to
have an interest in a country news
paper.
"The country publisher alone is
able through his columns to sell any
thing. His readers buy everything
that is for sale-from nails to pianos,
from pills to automobiles. They buy
paint and roofing and stoves and
of commodities that
the city dweller never buys.
There is not community in the
United States in any one of which ten
or even fifty great American mer-
chants and manufacturers would not
gladly hire at high pay a competent,
earntse representative, able to talk to
five hundred or more families. And
every businesslike, hard working
country publisher is such an agent,
able every week to reach the con-
sumers that nobody else can reach.
"The country newspaper is the best
of all advertising mediums"
These facts are doubly true when
a newspaper by hard work and con-
stant effort has built up a list like,
the Herald of nearly 1000 paid up
subscribers. If you want to sell any
goods to the people of this section
advertising that fact in the Herald is
the cheapest, best and surest way of
reaching them-for they all read it.

Rev. Benton v. Riddle Installed as
Pastor of Local Church

Pastor OF Local Church
At the First Presbyterian Church,
U. S. A., on Wednesday evening the
Rev. Benton v. Riddle was installed
pastor over the Cookeville church.
The sermon was preached by the Rev.
FouDt Smith. His text was Isaiah
59:1. Behold, Jehovah's hand is not
shortened, that it cannot save; neither
his ear heavy, that it cannot hear, but
youf iniquities have separated be-
tween you and your God, and your
sins have hid his face from you, so
that he will not hear" REV. Smiths
theme was mainly on the line of brok-
en- connections with God in prayer.
He gave an excellent sermon and it
was well received.
The Rev. s. K. Phillips gave the
charge to pastor. He used Paul's line
of thought, and his charge was simple,
clear and too the point. It was beau
tiful to see man of his age and ex-
perience give the charge to younger
pastor. 1t was so fitting that he should
do so. His talk was so biblical that
it cannot be forgotten.
The charge to the congregation was
given by the Rev. w. w. Baxter. In
his customary and convincing way he
gave good advice to the congregation
regarding their duties to pastor and
to the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom
in the world. He made plain many of
these duties and especially empha-
sized the duty we owe to our Savior
in being on time at religious services.
The choir furnished excellent music
and the solo by Mr.. Joel Barnes was
splendid.
After the pastor made the an
nouncements he presented the con-
gregation with two trays Of glasses
for the individual communion set.
The congregation, by motion of DR.. J.
F. Dyer, voted to receive same from
their newly installed pastor.
The preparatory services to COM
munion were held on Friday night at
8 o'clock. After services the session
met to receive new members.
On Sunday at IL O'Clock the newly
elected elders and deacons were or
dained and installed into Office. This
service was made very impressive by
the laying on of hands, the two new
elders, Messrs E. H. Bayd and J. M.
McCormick, by DR.. J. F. Dyer, and the
new deacons, Messrs. J. B. Thompson
and Grover Boyd, by Elders Thos.
Finley and S. s. Webb, while the or
prayer was offered by the |
pastor.
This was followed by the observance |
Of the Lords Supper, using the indi-
vidual communion set for the first |
time. Four new members were re-
ceived into the chuch, and an evening |
service was held at O'Clock, the sub
ject being Christ Among the Com
mon Things of Life"
The church is taking on more ac-
tivity, and the Sabbath school Is
growing. Sunday school each Sab
bath at 10 o'clock. Prayer meeting
each Wednesday evening at o'clock.
Preaching every first and third Sab
bath at II a. m. and p. m.
