Charles Glover, veteran blacksmith,
was eighty-four years of age yester-

unusual demonstration or celebration
from any quarter, but when the mails
began bringing post cards he aWoke
to the fact that he was the recipient
of a post card shower and the sources
from which it came gave the veteran
great pleasure and the act of friends
and former associates found keen ap-
probation at his hands. Cards were
received from every blacksmith in
the city and Mr.. Glover acknowledges
the receipts of cards from the follow
ing: Charles Kessler, A. Scheuerman,
Clayton B. Lewis, o. l.. Swick, Meade
Griffis, John Cowan, ]. J. Hawk,
James Grace, Karl Scheuerman and
Henry BrOm. Mr.. Glover says he
does not recall anything that has
come his way in recent years that has
given him the pleasure that he found
in the receipt of those post cards
with the messages of friendliness and
good cheer, and he thanks each and
every one of the senders from the
depths of his heart. He may not be
able, he says, to see all Of the boys
and to let them know personally how
he feels about the remembrance, but
he wants them to know that the
cards were like the song that reached
the heart.
