and the reports of the chuch officers
as well as those of the officers of the
various societies within the church,
showed a year of earnest and success

The first report was from the SEES
sion of the church. and had to do
especially with the spiritual condi-
tons of the year. There were forty
members received during the year
ending March 81, the period with
which all reports closed. The session
called attention to the fact that with
May l the present pastorate of DR..
e. B. Newcomb will have continued
twenty years, thus equalling that OF
DR.. W. G.. Craig, who from 1862 to
1882 was so prominent a figure in

Officers of the Keokuk Retailers
league today expressed their gratifi-
cation at the cooperation of the
Civic league with the retailers in the
matter of flower parade for the big
celebration here this fall. The Civic
league at its meeting on Friday aft
ernoon offered to cooperate with the
retailers in this matter Their de-
cision has been duly communicated to
the retailers.
I'VE are gratified to find the Civic
league ready to cooperate with us in
this matter of flower parade" Pres
ident Justice said today. I'VE APP
preciate their helping us in this mat
ter, and I'm sure it means that Keo-
kuk will have a splendid flower
parade as a feature of our fall cele-
bration The Civic league members
are very generous in their promise to
assist us, and the officers and mem
bers of the league appreciate their CO
operation"
The retailers offered to furnish the
cars and to make a donation for
materials if the Civic league mem
bers would make the flowers and at
tend to the decoration Of the cars.
This the Civic league members ex-
pressed their willingness to do.
The flower parade will be one of
the chief features of the celebration
here in October and following pre-
cedent set in other years, the event
promises to be one of the finest ever
held in this part of the state.

period, and between an average mem
bership of 500, they would not indi-

well as it might. About $4,000 of

of the chapel and the remodeling of
the main auditorium.
