Ed. Geo. P. Street who conducted

lowing the war, was held at ConcorC
Church, at Julien, Sunday. TIL,
church is situated in sight of wher,
the two old teachers conducted theil
schools fifty or sixty years ago.
A big crowd was on hand and al
entered into the spirit of the occa
sion.
The formal program was opened
when DR.. John w. Crenshaw, of Ca.
diz, called the meeting to order al
1870 o'clock and prayer was offered
by Rev. ]. M. Gordon. Then came
some delightful music by quartette

John 0. Street, Jr., lat the organ, J
Mrs. b. .. Street, John o. Street, Jr.
and Prof, ], r, Claypool.
Rev. ]. NJ. Gordon, pastor of the
Christian church at Elkton, was then
presented as the morning speaker.
His address in the nature of a ser
mon, following the sacrament SER
vice by the Concord Christian church,
was carefully prepared and admira-
bly, delivered address on the work
that good men may do that may live
after them. 1t was a beautiful tri-
butte to the men whose memory the
was called to honor.
At noon a recess of two hours was
taken for dinner and for social con-
verse and fraternal greetings in the
grove surrounding the church.
The dinner was a bountiful feast
of everything good to eat, spread up
on tables in the shade, with hot cOf-
fee, plenty of ice water and flavor
of genuine Kentucky hospitality
about it all.
At 2 o'clock another program of
music was rendered. The quartette
from Elkton was assisted in this by
four ladies of the neighborhood
With Miss Julia Henry at the organ
Miss Norma Riley sang a beautiful
solo and Mrs. j. R. Caudle, Jr., and
Mrs. Allen Owen, daughters of Mr..
G. H. Stowe, sang a duet, all being
sweetly rendered and greatly enjoy
ed.
Then came the formal memorial
address by Hon. W. w. Clarke, of
Owensboro, which was in sentiment,
in diction and in delivery a master
piece of eloquence. Mr.. Clarke clos
ed his address with a fervent prayer
and benediction upon all the cold
boys" present. He then introduced
as the next speaker, Rev. T. V. Mil
er, pastor of the Baptist churches at
Elkton and Locust Grove.
His brief address dwelt with the
carrying out of the purposes OF God,
not as mere accidents, but as a Sc
luence to divine will. 1t was a prop
er and fitting complement to the ad-
lresses that had gone before and did
great credit to the eloquent young
preacher.
The days exercises, with DR.. Cren-
shaw again in the chair, were con-
,luded with brief impromptu
peeches of felicitation by DR.. B. A.
Jaudle, W. W. Clarke, Chas. NJ. Mea-

body joined, closed the days pro-,
yram and the benediction was pro-
bounced by Mr.. Geo. c. Long.
