The First Christian Church of Mex
leo was organized in the year 1910.
A few people met in the old Court
House and an organization was eff
fected with eight charter members.
Those members we're Richmond Pear
son and wife, William Pearson and
wife, John P. Beatty and wife, Mar
garet Muldrow and Phoebe Kilgore.
The first preachers for the newly
formed church seem to have been
william Douglas and Greenuo Jack
son tho the first regular pastor was
either Jacob Coons or Leroy Hatch
EFT. Accounts seem to conflict as to
which of these men preceded the
other.
Owing to the fact that records have
been misplaced it is just a little diff
6cult to trace the history of the or
ganization with any degree of GER
fainty but according to the fragmen-
tary authorities consulted it seems
quite clear that the first elder select
ed with John P. Beatty, and the first
Deacons to serve the congregation
were Richmond and William Pear
son.
On 1851 about eleven years after
the congregation was formed theii
first church building was erected. II
was a large frame structure and oc-
cupied a site just south of the present
Odd Fellows Hall. In 1871 the bricl
building still standing at the corner
of Clark and Promenade and occupied
at present by the Odd Fellows fra
ternity was erected at a cost of fifteel
to eighteen thousand dollars. Alex
ander Proctor preached the 6edica
tOrial sermon on the occasion of tn
occupation of this building.
In 1905 the present commodiou
and beautiful house of worship o.
jackson street, just west of the Fed
eraI building was erected at an eS
pense of Forty Thousand dollars. Thi

HOLD ANNUAL DINNER
Resort Men and Ladies to
Banquet Tomorrow Noon
as Guests of MIR. and Mrs.
Hazen.

Invitations have been issued by
Mr.. and Mrs. c. Z. Hazen of Long
Lake Lodge. east of Phelps three
miles. to all the resort men and
their ladies TO attend a twelve
O'Clock dinner at their resort to-
morrow. The invitations aim to
include every resort in the sec
ton Of the lake region where the
big fish are supposed TO hang
out, and where the tourist usu-
ally spends his or her vacation
in the land of balmy breezes, big
eats and bigger sleeps. This
country is now called the sleep
ng-eating country-one is sure
to imbibe a sufficient quantity
Of sleep, and Furthermore never
fails on the ''eats" so far as can
0e learned-and it has been right
y named at that.
Once a year it has been the
custom of the resorts TO pick
9ut some congenial place where
in they may all congregate for
one day after the close of the
season, and at the expense of that
1lace get outside a bumper din
aer, followed by the usual talk
lest. especially when the feminine
contingent gets in line. These
et-together meetings never fail
n developing a broader veiw of
the workings of the various re-
sorts, and at the same time is of
IN educational feature of great
,alue to every man and woman
Interested directly in resort work.
These meetings have proven TO
be of just as great value as has
the county fair and harvest pic
nc. 1t is a place TO learn what
the other fellow has found to be
Of value, and then it also gives
him a return in valuable informa-
ton. 1t is a fifty-fifty break.
The attendance tomorrow pro-
misses to be the largest of any
meeting yet held. 1t is to be a
lay of friendly intermingling
with practically no business mix
ed in to mar the real freedom of
the visiting resorters. The new
diningroom and lobby at the Haz-
en- resort will easily and comfort
abbey seat hundred guests. Even
if the day is a trifle inclement,
the building is capable of giving
every one comfort.

WILL DEVELOP LANDS
State Line Country to Be De-
veloped by VIM. A. Curtis
Company-Lake Frontage
and Farm Lands.

Uucle Joe Cannon, that grand
old man who is loved by his acres
of friends, and whose enemies are
few and far, will break into the
summer home game in Northern
Observation-Disclosures since his pur-
chase of a portion of lake front
age on beautiful Duck lake near
State Line, Wisconsin, Michigan
any way you wish to call it. As
most of the residents of this lake
region know where Duck lake lies,
and the beauty of its hardwood
shore lines miles in length, no de-
tailed description is necessary.
To the uninitiated it might be
said that there are few lakes in
this northern land of water that
compare with Duck lake in shore
line beauty. This lake has escap-
ed the ravages of the lumberman
and the fire, giving it a shore
line of virgin hardwood such as
one rarely sees in his wanderings.
On top of all that the present
owners of the land surrounding
the lake, have left a wide strip
of virgin forest the entire length
of its shoreline in order to pre-
serve its beauty.
The VIM. A. Curtis Company of
State Line will this week open
their new land office in that vii
lage for the purpose of placing
upon the market their 500 acres
of virgin timber lake frontage
on Duck lake. This lake is but
two miles north of State Line
and three miles south from Wa
tersmeet. Duck lake is one of
the most beautiful bodies in the
north, and with its wonderful
heavily wooded shores and sandy
beaches, should be much sought
after by people who want a sum-
mer home close to nature.
This company also have 1000
acres which they will place upon
the market for farm lands. 1t
was cut over a year ago. The
soil of this land is a clay loan.
B. L. Blanchard is the manager
of the sale of these holdings for
both lake frontage and farming
and is now located at State Line.
