In the death of Mrs. Jas. Miller,
another of Bristol's good women
has gone. Mrs. Miller never SEEM
ed old to US. She was always inter-
ested in the welfare of the church
and neighborhood. She endeared
herself to large circle of friends,
many of whom met Monday to pay a
last tribute of respect to her men,
ory. The funeral was one of the
largest held in Bristol, in many
years.
Fletcher Meetings Close
As announced in last weeks pa
per, the meeting at Fletcher, Meigs-
vile township, closed with the Sun
day evening service. Large congre-
cations were present at nearly ev-
cry service. District Supt. Earl
R. Slutz of Cambridge was present
and preached Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday evenings of last week.
Mrs. Slutz who is an accomplished
musician and vocalist, was present
and sang on Thursday evening. The
destiny of this old country church
and the community for several miles
around is in the balance. With five |
churches closed in that township |
and many of the members of those |
societies not uniting with those |
churches which are functioning, |
church affairs are not what they |
should be. We believe these good |
folks will get together and decide |
on a location and build an organiza-
ton that will herald to the world |
the message that will not only save |
that community, but the whole |
world a.
1t was with sincere regret we |
learned of the death of our friend |
Clyde Woodward. Our sympathy |
goes out to the bereaved wife, broth.

been received for the chorus to go
