sacrifices made by tho members to
wipe out the indebtedness, and referred

is known as a "drag" in the mine.
In 18G9 tho south walls of thu church
were torn down and re-bullt at a, cost
of between $5,000 and $6,000. Some time

In closing Mr. Moses said this result

deacons, trustees, members and pastor
are all entitled to much praise for their
noble efforts. David Jenkins followed
with a splendid rendition of "Jerusa

D. C. Powell then read an original

of the evening, which elicited much fa
vorable comment and applause. David

behalf of the Sunday school, and ex
pressed their gratefullness and thank
fulness for the cancellation of all in

that the event will have a lasting in

of the church and its officers, and the
Chautauqua salute was given the gen

Miss Annie Davis, and the exercises
were brought to a close by the singing
