ber of the old veterans-not
many left any more--met at the
Postoffice Corner and marched to
the cemetery-the weather as hot
as August-and lay flowers on
the graves of old comrades who
had passed away. In this group
were Daniel and T. ]. Roberts,
w. T. Keath, T. T. Turley, ]. G..
Head, A. j. McElhiney, Hugh
Towson, George Bailey, A. W.

score or more years from now
these old veterans will all be
gone. But they are only going
the way Of all the earth like the
rest of us.
Sunday afternoon there were
other services held at the ceme-

people turned out. to honor the
memory of loved ones who lie in
the quiet city of the dead.

firts president of the Cemetery
Association, was next introduced
His speech was full OF good
points and suggestions for the i'm
provement and beautifying o.
Elmwood. He urged that every
owner of a lot should look afteI
it. Every person owning lo
should become a member of tn,
Cemetery Association. Fndow
your lot, if you can, with 800 ol
more. That will keep it in gooc
repair always. This endowment
plan is followed in many of the
large cities and is an idea mos
feasible.
Mr.. Graham stated that abou
$500 people are buried in Elm
wood. Here he named a dozen o.
more old residents of Mexico
many of them now almost for
gotten, who now have homes il

PRO-
CRAM AT TRINITY
A Red Letter Day for the Sunday
School.

Sunday, June |, was red letter
day at Trinity, ; miles out from
Mexico on the Paris road. This
Sunday school has continued thru
cold and heat, shade and shine,
without interruption (save for a
; months rest, since October,
1911, and it is but doing Justice TO
say that it is in better working
order now than at any time since
above date, or for years before as
to that.
Theodore II. Selb, the young
and progressive superintendent,
is infusing new life and has the
work so thoroughly organized
that only success could be looked
for.
Some time since Mr.. Selb
raised the question as to the OBJ
servance of Children Day. II
was unanimously voted, and a
committee on arrangements f.
Y. Harris, Joe Wakefield, Arthur
Paulin and A. f. Plate, was ap-
pointed. Committee on decora-
tiOn-Mrs Meliza, Mrs. r. r.
Harris, Mrs. Fred Clapper and
Mrs. c. Hopkins. Program Com
Mrs. Theo. Selb, Miss Ida Bush,
and Miss Frances Wakefield.
Miss Lucille Rice of Mexico had
charge of the instrument in the
training of the children for the
music section of the program.
Choir led by the pastor.
At II o'clock last Sunday the
exercises began, Every number
was roundly applauded and
everybody was well entertained.
At II 80 temporary adjournment
was announced.
1t is useless to say that Au-
drain county hospitality showed
itself up to the standard. A fine
dinner was served on the campus
north of the church, under the
spreading maple trees.
We cannot go into detail in
describing the toothsome things
there offered. Special mention
should be made of fine drinking
water and an abundance of ice.
People were there from all di-
rections; from Thompson, Rush
Hill, Littleby, Olivet, Molino,
Long Branch, etc.
AT ! :45 the people reassembled,
and heard an address from the
pastor, Rev. w. C. Rice, from
Luke 2 :49, which was virtually a
continuation of children's s day
ideas. Bro. Rice is fine minister
and is very popular on his work
here.
An unusual offering was taken
for children's day interests,
amounting to $15,18, which was
certainly fine, considering the
fact that it was a voluntary Of
fering.
The church was beautifully
decorated with green foliage and
white, red and pink roses. The
arch just over and in front of the
pulpit stand was grand in appear
ance.
