program of special interest last Sat
urday night. There was duet by
Miss Myra Loveland and Miss Myrtle
House, and song by C. A. Marshall,

an account Of his experiences in the
civil war. He enlisted when lad
Of 10. and served in Company of
the Seventh Indiana regiment. His
story gave an account Of the second
battle Of Bull Run, in July, 1862,
in which Mr.. McCulloch's colonel,
James Gavin, was wounded, and Mr..
McCulloch was called upon to lead
the horse carrying the wounded Of
ficer to doctor or a hospital. All
night he walked on toward Washing
ton, and when morning came he met
a column of voyances of all sorts
coming out to pick up the wounded
soldiers. In the second hack he saw
President Lincoln, who got out Of the
rig and asked Mr.. McCulloch about
the officer. After sending Colonel
Gavin to hospital, President Lin
coin told Mr.. McCulloch to get into
his hack and ride back to Washing
ton with him, and all the way he
asked the young soldier many ques-
tions about his home and family. We
are proud to know Mr.. McCulloch
and to come as closely in touch as
this with the great President.
