of the conference preached, of
which he said: Mighty poor ac-

J. H. Gray, d. c. Wees, D. E. Day,
A. R. Clendenning, w. O. Carnes,
A. r. Reed and S. r. Martin. We

some of these men. A. R. Reed

Carnes was the man who had the
big nose, and gave Dr.. Jewett the
penknife saying ''The man who gave
me this knife told me that if | ever
found a man with a bigger nose to
give it to nim.'
Fearing we may forget it, we
want to tell you that under date of
Sept. 26, 1889, we read: Bridge |

and are carrying the work on and
up From what we can see and
hear we feel that the big majority
has the right to feel proud of what
both dead, and living, have attempt
ed, and accomplished.
We want to stop here to suggest
that we can't help wondering what
some villages like Stockport would
look like and be like, and we might
include cities and nations, if all
folks were some who haven't any
thing to do or say, but find fault.
Thank God all these places have,
and have had, large majority who
are too busy attending to their own
business and trying to make it a
better place to live in.
AS we talk with some of the
leading folks of Stockport our mind
is carried back to our childhood, to
our school days. Today as we talk
ed with P. o. Brannon, he related
an event which took us back to the
school days, when we with wonder
read the story of William Tell,
when he shot the apple off his son S
head. We have always supposed
that was the one and only case of
it's kind. While we can not give
the names, we want to tell you the
story as near as we can, as related
by Pete. Two young men who had
imbided quite freely were passing
along Main street, on opposite sides,
one carrying a .32 caliber rifle, the
other wearing white Stetson hat.
The one with the white hat squat
ted down, placed an apple on top
of his hat, which was on his head,
telling the other to shoot it off,
which he did, splitting the apple in
two. In case the school officials de-
eide to put the McGuffey readers
back in the schools, and want to re-
wise them, we will furnish names.
We feel that the children of future
generations will appreciate the
story of ours, as we did the one in
our boyhoOd.
We are glad to learn that Attor-
ney Link Russell, of Newark, is in
terested in the story of his old
home town, and will help with
facts. We hope he will let us know
in advance of his coming.

We have been searching for the
history of this organization for

In conversing with the present pas

record only goes back to 1919 We
learn some of the charter members
are still here, and hope through
them to get a complete list. We
have found a copy of the deed.
