GOES TO ENDEAvoR.
Rev. A. L. Lacey, who resigned
his passionate of the Congregational
church of this place, has accepted a
call to Endeavor, Marquette county,
central Wisconsin, and the family
will move there in few days. En-
deavor is comparatively a new town,
started from the Christian Endeavor
tent meetings held there. Rev. r.
L. Cheney, a former pastor of the
church here, was the head of the En-
deavor movement for a time, and
started having these annual tent
meetings at that place, which gradual
ly has grown into thrifty town of
about 400 population. Bot there is
only one Congregational church there,
and most of the people belong to it;
so Rev. Lacey will have a large con-
gregation. Rev. Lacey is a sincere
and conscientious WORKER, and during
his eight years passionate of the
church here has done much to build
up the society. His wife, too, has
done her full share of church work.
The family will be missed by large
circle of friends, Rev. Lacey will
preach his farewell sermon next Sun
day.
BUSINESS MEN MEET.
Prof. j. L. Gillin, of the state
university extension division, ad
dressed sixty of our business men at
Odd Fellows hall Thursday evening.
His talk was about the way to ad-
vance the interest of community.
MIR. Gillin advised US to organize and
then all pull together. He was very
much against sending out of town for
our goods-to mail order houses, etc.
All merchants are against having
their neighbors do this. but are them
selves guilty upon occasion. In fact,
some men whom we saw cyaning their
necks at neighbors are themselves
doing it, if they would only think.
Quite a bit of this sending mail
orders, etc.. comes from thoughtless-
ness. We all ought to be more
thoughtful for home interests. We
will have another meeting in June,
when it is expected that committee
will have plans formulated for COM
mercial club organization. The
pleasant feature of the last meeting
was the feast served by the Congrega-
tional ladies.
VETERANS MEET.
John P. Jenkins, of Bagley, look
ing hale and hearty, was busily en-
gagged shaking hands with old friends
here for a short time Tuesday after
noon, enroute to Lancaster. Although
living but dozen miles from his old
home. this was Mr.. Jenkins first visit
here in eighteen years. In a visit
with old comrades the fact was de-
veloped that Mr.. Jenkins is the only
man in Wyalusing and Grif. Hickok
the only one in Bloomington who are
left to tell the story of the great
battle of Gettysburg from personal
observation and participation. Both
of these men are thinking of attend
ing the fiftieth anniversary of the
battle on the field this coming July.
Veterans who took part in that battle
but feel that they cannot afford to at
