VOLUME 17. REYNOLDSVILLE, PENN'A.. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1908. NUMBEB 7. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO SPEND JULY 3 AND 4 IN REYNOLDSVILLE SEVENTY-FIFTH YEAR BEECHWOODS . PRESBYTERIANS CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY. Many of the Pioneer Members Attended the Exercises Wednesday and Had a Pleasant Reunion. Perfect weather favored tlie Freshy terlan congregation of the Beech woods for tholr three quarter centennial cole' bratlon Wednesday, Juno IT, and this occasion was attended by a largo crowd of people from the entire surrounding neighborhood. It was an Interesting occasion for ev eryone and there was a general feeling of good fellowship manifested on every hand The open-hearted generosity and hospitality, for which tho people of the Boecbwonds are famous, was In evidence at all tlra ;s and everyone fell better for having been present. The church wan entirely too small to accommodate the crowd In attendance and many people listened to the uddretis as the words of the speaker oatne out through the open windows. Theehureh butldlnir was uriltlly decorated for the occasion and n largo (ringi d sign of welcome was suspended across the altar. On the rear wall was a sign, "1832 Greetings 1!)08." Rev. Robert A. Hunter, n, former pastor, acted as chairman of tho meet ing aud he wa? very happy in his Intro duction of the various speakers. The opening session In tho morning was given over entirely to a review of the church history from 1871 to 1008. Revs. G. II. Hill. U. A. Hunter and J. H. Bill, giving the various periods. The facts presented were of a most in teresting character and make most readable history. i Following adjournment at 12 o'clock the good ladles of the Beech woods con gregation served dinner under the trees la the orchard of the parsonage grounds. Much care and forethought had bee given to this pnrt of the day's AnlAptnlnmAnt and thA result was most gratifying. There was an abundance of eatables and the largo assembly was 'given a royal feast. At 1.30 the church was again filled and following the kinging of a hymn, Chairman Hunter called upon Nlulan Cooper, of Reyuoldsvllle, a patriarch e( the church, who spoke briefly, then called upon Rev. Hill to read his paper on the early history ot the congrega tion, Mr. Cooper has a remarkable memory and the facts presented by him were of Intense Interest, especially to the younger generations, who little realized the early struggles of the pio neers of the Beech woods congregation. Mr. Cooper was the third child born In the ' Beeoh woods settlement. He and one othor of the original congregation -were present Wednesday. Mr. Cooper's paper took up the his tory of the congregation from its ear liest inception and traced It with the utmost fidelity to details down to 1871, giving names and dates of Interesting events, the persons composing the orig inal congregation, the officers and all da' a. The predominant figure In his paper was the Rev. John Wray, who 'took up the work In the Beech woods congregation and built it up by hia in domitable energy aud christian spirit. In this great work he was ably seconded by his wife, Mr. Georglanna Wray. t Following an excellent anthem by the choir, greetings were had from ' other churches in the vicinity, Rev. J. B. Hill, of BrookvUIe, Rev. A. D. McKay, of Reynoldsville, Rev. F. B. Bonner, Eazen and Sugar Hill, Rev. J. V. Boll, JDuBois, Rev. McIUvalne. Rtdgway, and A pleasing and Interesting feature of the afternoon exercises was a demon stration of the manner in which the P8alms were formerly sung. Archie McCullough, one of the veil known members of tho congregation, led In the hinging. Uuv. Hunter read two lines and then Mr. McCullough struck the pitch ami led the congregation In the psalm singing. On one verse all over 70 years of age In the congregation were anked to sing alone. Tho resnonao to this novel appeal whs quite good. At four o'clock adjournment was tak en nud In the evening a good program was carried out. DuBols JCxprem.

A gentleman, who had been at several neighboring towns recently, says he Is convince! that Reynoldsville Is as brisk as any of them. There are brighter diva just, up the road a short distance. We'll gut there by and by. Shops Running Once More. The U. R. & P. locomotive works aud car shops opened at loll blast, this morning and the ninjnrlw of the men were back on the job. although quite a number are out of town. The locomotive works are running nine hours per day and tho car shops at 10 hours. , . Although the trutlio has not ap proached the volume held before the depression, it is gaining graduully and It will not be long b"fore It has reached Its formor basis. As there has been but little repair work done for the past, several months, howover, then- is plenty of work for the two shops and it Is expected that the 1,000 men will be employed steadily. The many cars and locomotives that have been out of commission for several months will be brought in and repaired. Du Bols Mxpmm.
