YOSEMITE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

THIS beautiful valley--now a part of

way-is one of natures most wonder
full works of art. The valley is only
eight miles long and less than two
miles wide. The park embraces do
main about 80 by 4S miles. Here the
supreme artist has chiseed and etched
and painted an outdoor gallery OF mas
terpieces unlike any other in the world.
The Indians termed the place the
Heart of the Sky Mountains and called
it THE Vale of the Advance" and
themselves Ahwaneeches, or Children
Of Light"
The excelling features of the Yo-
semitic are its waterfalls and sheer,
bold cliffs. Snow-waters from high
mountains have fOunf a wonderful
variety and beauty of courses down
the mountain walls to the MERGED river
In the valley below. These peculiar
peaks striklngly resemble huge domes
and range in height all the way from
LOO to 5000 feet. The falls which
descend their rugged sides range in
height from $50 feet-Vernal falls,
which is only IS feet wide at the top
to beautiful Yosemite falls. which, in
three leaps, plunges half mile and is
said to be the highest waterfall In the
world with anything like the same

All-Day Meeting in Honor

The following Interesting article Is

renee countys most distinguished and
best loved citizens:
Buchanan. KY, Oct. 80, 1921.
Rev. ], o. Black. Of Buchanan, KY,
for several weeks has been planning a
surprise gathering in honor Of Dr. J
r. Hatten. who has been Sunday
School superintendent In the vicinity
OF Buchanan for more than fifty years
Brother Black stated that he had been
here more than forty years and Mr.
Hatten was superintendent when he
came to this place. Two of his Oldest
members, Mrs. James Stump, and Mr.,
John Fletcher were present.
Mr.. Hatten was taken by complete
surprise. as the nrst intimation he had
OF the purpose OF the all-day basket
dinner service, was when approaching
the school house his attention was
called to an inscription over the door
In bold letters: THIS DAY rs GIVEN
IN HONOR OF j. +. HATTEN, OUR
SUPT." Mr.. Hatten was 80 overcome
by emotion that Il was with difficulty
that he replied TO the Introduction OF
Rev. Black. After the introduction II
was requested that all scholars form
In line and sing. Bring in the Sheaves"
and there were present grand parents,
parents children and grandchildren
and great grand children; Il was a
most inspiring thought. 50
The school house where he so long
conducted his Sunday School was
tastefuily decorated with autumn
leaves and flowers. Service begun
about 1880 a. m. and the large build
ing was soon filled with old and present
scholars and many friends from Hunt
ington, Ashland and elsewhere.
Rev. ]. A. Biilups, OF Normal, KY,
delivered most powerful sermon in
the forenoon. A most bountiful dinner
was served on the ground. And many
basketfuls were carried away, as owing
TO the hard rain OF Saturday night,
many from the country could not be
present.
In the afternoon Rev. Leslie preach
ed most profound sermon. Rev.
Kirby made a few chosen remarks,
and Elizabeth Hatten gave quite an
appropriate address.
