We are happy to know that you are not going so far away that we will not have a chance of seeing you ■often again. As has-been told before but is worth repeating.— Again we bow to custom old A custom we’ve admired, To gather here this company, No coaxing was required; No strangers we, but just old friends You have known for years, Approving of -the work you've won All join to say, “Well done.” Not just to’ farewell you—many we Express the hope that you May many years this life enjoy, .And prosper in all you do. May clouds be small and silver-lined That may your sight be never dim, And health and happiness and cheer Fill life’s cup to the brim. We trust that the bond of friend­ ship which has linked our lines to­ gether riiay still remain the same as the years roll along. Mr. arid Mrs. Merriam, may we ask you to accept as a token of gratitude and esteem, this purse of money for ' yourselves, together with this small gift for Eva who so willingly gave of her time and talent. -May God’s richest blessing .follow you to your new charge. —Signed on behalf of Centralia Congregation. a Tickets will be sold for a Ladies’ oi' Gent’s New Bdlova Watch to be drawn for at the game* THE PROCEEDS ARE FOR THE INJURED MEMBERS OF THE BALL CLUB in case of rain game will be played Friday evening'.
