These embryonic citizens who were all agog short time ago when Jack Frost took the water in his grasp, are now in a state of dejection.

Skating is one of the most exhilirating and health giv- ing sports. but care should be talk en by parents and others that the ice is in fit condition 10 skate up- on.

Mr.. Fache says the opening up of As
percent beer sales in Ontario province,

farm during the day working there
and as he was of a nervous tempera-
ment and given to worry great deal
together with the fact that the well

have been more than he could stand
and in a moment of dependency he
ended all. After the supper hour he

sorrow to the community

GRANT AND
LEE MET AT
APPOMATTOX
Thurs, April 9, Was the Goth
Anniversary of the Worlds
Greatest Surrender.

The SiXtieth anniversary of Lees
surrender to Grant occurred Thurs
day, April 9th. The greatest Civil war
any country ever knew, the most des-
tructive to life and property, waged
over a continent. Billions in money
spent and millions engaged in the con-
fiict, but that is not the most remark
able thing about it.
The civil wars of ancient and medi-
eval times were followed by long lists
of prescriptions, executions, confsca-
tiOns and eXpatriations.
This great war ended devoid of all
these things. The like of it was never
known before, and the like of it was
never dreamed of, until Grant and Lee
met at the house of Wilmar Mclean,
at Appomattox, Va.
Wilmar Mclean was a Virginian,
but opposed to secession. The first
battle of Bull Run was fought over a
portion of his premises in northern
Virginia, whereupon he disposed of
his possessions and moved to south
eastern Virginia, as he thought far
from wars alarms.
The surrender took place in his
house. He witnessed the curtain rise
and saw 1t fall on the awful Tragedy.
Lee and Staff Arrive First
Lee was the first to arrive, and with
him Colonel Marshall and his staff,
the son of his older sister. He sat
down at a small oval table at the left
of the door. He had drawn off his
gauntlets and laid them across the
table.
S0utherner Was Fine Figure of a Man
Lee was clad in new suit of Con-
federate grey, with high-top cavalry
boots, laced with red silk. At his side
was a splendid sword with jeweled
hilt. He was then SO years old, hair
and beard iron-grey. He had very
dark brown eyes. He was said to be
one of the finest looking men in the
world.

CHURCH UNION NEWS
ExaneeliStic Camnaign

Evangelist Chas Cullen Smith ar
rived in Lancaster last night (Tues-
day. and conducted the first meeting
of the evangelistic campaign. Mr..
Smith was born and reared on farm
in Iowa. At the age of q he became
postal clerk on the Rock Island.
In time he became chief clerk on the
famous Burlington fast mail from the
city of Council Bluffs to Burlington,
Iowa.
Mr.. Smith, always interesting him
self in the lives of men, decided to
enter the work of the Y. NJ. G. A, in
order that he might be of greater SER
vice to his fellow men. For ten years
he was in charge of the Y. at Cedar
RAPIDS. Iowa. He was called to be
assistant pastor at the Moody church
in Chicago and there came into con-
tact with that great evangelist, D. l..
Moody, whose methods Mr.. Smith
really uses in his work.
In the year of 1897, Mr.. Smith en-
tered direct evangelistic work and has
been engaged in this work from coast
to coast and from Canada to the gulf.
During these years he has been aSSo-
ciated with such great leaders as
Chapman, Biederwolf, TOrrey and
others. Mr.. Smith is not the evangel-
list of a sensational type, but rather
he is a man who seeks to do lasting
and permanent work for the commun-
ity. AS one man expressed it: Mr..
Smith is safe and sensible, therefore
satisfactory. He hits Straightforward
from the shoulder, but respects every
mans honest opinion"
The writer met a stranger in town,
who seeing the posters that were then
being distributed, said, 'I am trav-
cling man from Chicago and I know
this man, Smith, personally, and the
community that hears Charlie Smith
will hear a big man. 1t will do Lam
caster good just to have Charlie
Smith here"
Mr.. Smith will hold meetings as
sisted by the ministers, in the Con-
gregational church every evening at
7::30. Mr. Smith is the kind of man
that folks come to hear. 1t will pay
all to hear Mr.. Smith repeatedly.
