vania where the denomination is the
strongest Over two hundred coaches
are required to transport the excursion
ists. The demand for the reunion is
greater this year than ever before and

attendance. When one considers the
natural beauty of Conneaut Lake, the
many facilities afforded at the Park for
amusement anil entertainment, the ex

the very low railroad rates which are
secured, it is no wonder that so many
thousands of the United Presbyterians

Birthday Celebration.
John Cleeland, who lives with his son
D. L. Cleeland, Jeweler. 125 South
Main street. Butler, Pa., celebrated his
ninety-fourth birthday last Sunday,
July }6th.
His son Dr. J. S. Cleeland and wife,
of Pittsburg, and his daughter Mrs. C
H. Farrah and her husband of Sandy
Lake, Pa., were here to enjoy the event,
with Mrs William Cleeland and
daughter Olive, of Portersville, Pa. and
many other friends and neighbors that
gathered iu. The day will long be re
membered by those that were there, as
Mr. Cleeland related many things that
happened about eighty-five years ago,
and during the day sang a hymn of six
verses that he had" memorized when a
young man, and recited a peace of
poetry that had thirty-two verses. Mr.
Cleeland s memory does not fail him
for events of any date that he is asked.
His health is good and his face does not
look to be over sixty years. On account
of rheumatic troubles he has not walk
ed for 13 years, but although lying in
bed all of the time is very happy and
contented. We wish him many more
happy birthdays.
