MT. LAKE PARK
Elderly Tourist Visits Park


Mrs. Joseph Kithcart, of Smithfeld,
O., is approaching her 98th year, but
that doesn't mean thing to her. This
week she motored here from her home
to visit with her one-time pastor and
family, DR.. and Mrs. w. Blake Love.
Smithfield was DR.. Loves first charge.
Mrs. Kithcart expressed her delight
with her first sight of our scenic
beauties, and we really mean she saw
plenty of it. Taken on long trips she
could climb with the best of them.
She was much interested in DR.. Loves
work shop and easily climbed the many
steep steps in order to inspect the
work. Her winters are spent in Florida
to which State she motors. Airplane
flights are no novelty to this young
woman.
School OF Missions Again A Success
The School of Missions, which has
been an annual event for more than
twenty years, has closed and was
again great success. The teachers
and lecturers secured for the school
brought with them new thoughts and
the talent displayed by them in their
addresses was really pleasing, instruc-
tive and uplifting. The object of this
school is the training of young people
in Bible and mission work, both home
and foreign so that they may be
fitted in Christian work. The adult
groups are encouraged to put forth
greater efforts among their home and
community groups. 1t would be an in
spiration for all the churches to en-
courage their members to attend the
gatherings of this nature.
Saturday Promises Much
Saturday will be red letter day for
those seeking entertainment. That's
the day of the big picnic in Hardesty's
Grove and the mammoth parade and
its Mickey's band. There will be plenty
to do and see. The parade forms at one
o'clock. The band boys feel pretty good
over carrying away first place at Key
ser when the Mineral county firemen
held their annual convention.
Brief Mention
Tonight is the fried chicken supper
at the Methodist church. Don't forget
that.
Those who heard Johnstown SYM
phony last year will be pleased to
learn that Mr.. Ross Smith of that or
