Among the Churches.

Rev. Chas. F. Freeman, pastor OF the
Reformed Church, surprised most OF the
members of his congregation last Sunday
by announcing that at meeting OF the
consistory of the church to be held Fri
day evening of this week he would present
his resignation as pastor. II is under
stood that he has received call from a
church in Pennsylvania. Rev. Mr..
Freeman has been pastor OF the church
here less than year, and ii he should
leave there would be general regret on
the part of our people. He is not only
highly regarded by his own congregation
but is one of the most popular ministers
in our community. Many persons hope
that he may be induced to remain.

Morgan,s Grove Fair Next Week.

The 10Th exhibition of the Morgan's
Grove Fair Association will be held next
week, and from present indications the
fair this year will be the most successful
that has ever been held. The grounds
were never in better condition than now
and all the buildings are in good shape.
Several new departments have been
added and already many entries are com-
ing in. The old dining-hall will be used
tor the poultry exhibit and large NUM-
Der OF entries has been made. The live
stock department is completely filled up
and if will be necessary to build addition
al stalls to accommodate the increase in
this portion OF the exhibition. The
horse show will be up to the usual STAN
dard and will include classes that the
county people can compete in.
The social features of the fair, which
have for many years have been so enjoy
able, will be greater than ever this year.
Nearly all OF the tent-holders have ap-
piled for their old places, and number
OF additional persons will join the circle
and participate in the good fellowship
which has long been feature OF the
fair.
The baby show will be held On Friday
afternoon, with H. L. Snyder in charge.
The prizes are as follows: Prettiest boy
baby, silver cup. second prize, $3.50;
prettiest blonde baby girl, neck chain
prettest brunette girl baby, neck chain;
latest baby, $3.50, second prize, $50;
for finest twins, $500.
Two free attractions have been booked
and there will be free exhibitions each day
in front of the grandStand. Mr.. Slime
has the merry go-round and ferris-wheel
concessions and he is bringing his best
machines here. The ferris wheel is the
largest portable machine made and the
merry go-round is OF type which has
never been seen here before, having
three horses abreast instead OF two.
There are no guy ropes nor side poles to
interfere and it is run by a gasoline en-
CINE.
A space has been reserved for automo-
mobiles, the entrance being on the west
side of the fair grounds, while the hold
erS of tents will take their teams in at the
gate on the Shenandoah Junction road.
Take your own drinking cup to Nor
gan's Grove fair. The new State law
prohibits the use Of public drinking cups,
and the fair officials will not be allowed
to furnish them. They will provide the
usual stream of sparkling water from the
famous spring, however.
II is hoped that our people generally
will unite in their efforts to make the
fair a success. Let everyone prepare eX-
hibitS and thus add TO the interest in the
various departments. Liberal premiums
are offered and il is worth while to enter
and compete for the prizes that are CIV
en-. Premium lists may be secured from
Secretary E. T. Licklider or any of the
other officers
