is the one insignia recognized and

SUNDAY SERVICES.

Memorial services were held
Sunday morning at the Presbyter-
| ian church, Rev. DavidA; Miller,
| the pastor, delivering most inn
pressives service. The service
being union meeting of all the
churches, the house was filled to-
the utmost. Among them were
i the old soldiers and the members
of the w. R. C. The church was
appropriately decorated in flags
and the choir furnished splendid
music
| In the evening the annual bac-
lcalaureate services were held in
the Christian church, and Rev. e.
| A. Thomas of the Methodist
church delivered an excellent adj
|dress. 1t was filled with good
thoughts for the graduates as we'll
las the Others. The united choir
for the evenings song service,
lunder%the direction of Mrs G. 81
Green, rendered several choice
lselections.
The item appearing in the
Times of Saturday in regard to a
Red Cross dance was a little pre-
mature, as the dance had only
been talked of and has not been
brought up officially before the
board. Many different ways of
raising the necessary funds
have been discussed, and this was
but one of the ways, but no ac-
ton has been taken as yet. Due
announcement will be made. as
ltsoon as the plans are matured.
