For there is something in that city
aweS cen the gayest crowd.
Side by side they slumber, The ii III
man and tho poor;
Their loved ones lie down together,
nor wrong each other more
There sleep the great and lowly. lc
same trees DER them wMvn.
For carth's proud and vain diStinc-
lions are lcvclcd by the gra ..
Here some weary. aged warrior uui-
city takes his rest,
And near him some pale young mo-
thcr with her babe upon hnr
breast;
There the wealthy merchan, lum-
bers and dreams no moro Of
gain;
There the widowed one forgcteth
life's weariness and pain.
The bride in her fair young beauty.
with orange buds in her hair,
And her wedding robe around her.
sleeps calm and peaceful
there:
There the orator proud reposes. a
stone at head and feet;
A nameless one lies near him, who's,
rest is just as sweet.
Artist. statesman, poet, wooers alike
Of fame,
Your haunted dreams will vanish and
white slab bear your name.
Oh! who has not bowed in Weeping
o'cr some cOtlined Gaal
For We all. al, have loved yanHS in
The City Of tho peaa."
The next on The program, was an
address by w. C. Hughs, Of Wal
halla. His remarks, while being con-
gratulatory to the Richland people
in that they have kept pace with the
march OF time, and, actuated by
spirit Of religious progress, have
the church which our
forefathres established, still con-
tanned warning in regard to the
danger Of laying too much stress on
things material. to the neglect of
the spiritual training Of our chill
dren
Capt. S. X. Dendy, Of Walhalla,
was next called on for a talk. His
remarks were brief, but reminiscent
and interesting. Mr.. Dendy gave
descriptive account OF how the first
old log church was built-how the
men OF the community, his father,
James II. Dendy, inclusive, cut down
the forest trees, hewed them into
logs. fitting them together and thus
building the first church at Rich
land. The building was about 60 bv
80 feet, and stood northeast of the
present church. The pulpit stood in
the north end. just beneath a small
window. The window and door shut
ters were batten and hung on wooden
hinges. Capt. Dendy was doubtless
the only person present who had at
tended the dedication Of the first log
church and also the dedication OF the
second frame building, which is the
Of the present church,
he being a small child when The log
church was used, and was baptized
within it's walls.
Capt. Dendy's talk was follow, ,i
by a short discourse by James o.
Armstrong. whose delight on being
present on this impressive and happy
occasion was too great for exprts-
sion. His remarks were brief, but
emanated from true and brotherly
heart
Col. r. r. .Jaynes was the next to
address the audience. Col. Jaynns
beautifully portrayed tho congcnial-
ity that has ever existed between the
Presbytcrians and the Mcthodists Of
the Richland community from the
earliest years OF the existence Of the
churches up to the present time,
practically the same congregation
tending both the churches. It Is
source Of much regret that Col.
Jaynes's address was unavoidably in
terrupted on account OF dark and
threatening clouds. quite good
many OF the people being compelled
to leave for their homes. we feel
sure that we express the desire OF
the entire congregation In REQUEST
ing Col. Jaynes to furnish us a copy
