Upon arriving ON the grounds, sav
the Rev. Francis Short on the plat
form, who was speaking on this wis
as l came there, you should max,
plans for Home Coming Day Si1
Months before hand, if you want {
good attendance" This was il
passing, however, many other sub
jects was brought to our attention
Together with his oratory, was inter
esting to a great many folks.
DR.. VIM. Belts, of Chaddsford, gave
an instructive and helpful address.
He spoke of the discovery of Ether
in this. country, America for which
we are proud and thankful. He re-
lated the very occasion in the Bos-
ton hospital when a young doctor
demonstrated with his patient how
a person could be operated upon un-
der the influence of Ether, and not
finch or feel the pain. OF course,
this was experimental upon several
years ago. DR.. Belts was bringing
to our attention the fact that we have
something to be proud of, in the way
of discoveries, as well as the coun-
tries across the seas.
Joseph Richards spoke afterwards,
whom we all know, or use to hear
him say: "I'm Uncle Johns Boy"
We will say Joe has been progress
sive and is a son of James A. Rick
ards, here.
Then Archie T. Richards, now of
Moore, Pa, made a fine address. He
based his subject from a verse found
in the Book of Proverbs, about the
Hedges (please look it up). It was
very applicable to our times, when
so many of us have broken down the
hedges, and need to build them
around our lives again.
Thomas Hudson, 1 believe, intro |
duced these several speakers.
Miss Lulu Quillen, in very sweet |
and appealing manner, recited the
poem, Coming Home.
William Powell directed the sing
ing in his usual enthusiastic man
ler with Miss Mary G. Evans at the
organ.
Chester Williams, from North Car
1lina, who has developed into fine
ooking young man from the South,
ind son of our Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie
of this town, spoke to us.
He extended greetings from all the
olks in North Carolina, who were
in Home Coming and the
Deople here. ... ......
DR.. James A. Belts was also on the :
'latform and probably made
peech. At any rate, he gave a
plendid address in the evening, but
here was gathering of approxi-
lately two or three thousand people
n the grounds, making it Difficult to
atch his address in its entirety. =

rinted in the letter a poem of his, :
Thich you will all enjoy.
