AN APPRECIATION Agreeable to a promise, made by me, i am writing’this testimonial of my o]d friend, Joseph K. Perry, and it gives me pleasure.to do so. 1 first knew' him .about six years ;ago, in .a business transaction, and was s6 impressed by .his deportment, •that I topic a special regard for him. About, two years ago, when he was iaucidently jnjured, f began to visit thim, and the regard I had formed for .him deepened, and as I think of him, my memory reverts to the reading some twenty years ago, ,of a book called "The Qld Gentleman of the Black Stock,'’’ for he so carried out the .description of The Old Gentle man, in his courtly mien. lys gentle right, Jbis high opinion of woman, and Ids otheif goad qualities that my mind puts him in the same class. One of the pleasures of my life was the visits I paid him, for he was one of the most appreciative men I have eyer wet, and his salutation “Come in Joseph,” jgiven with a smile on his face, touched this old heart of mine deeply, for only three persons in my life call me “Joseph. At times when we met he would be ready for fun and he entered into it with keen enjoyment, and another would talk such things as,touched the soul, and belonged to things eternal, and I feel sure that he has gone into that land where “The day breaks and the shadows flee away,” for truly he could say, “I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in His word is my hope.” Yours Very Truly, • Joseph D. Smith, HIGH SCHOOL NIGHT AT PRESBYTERIAN^ CHURCH The graduating class of the San ford high school will attend service next Sunday night, May 24th at eight o’clock, at the Presbyterian church.

Promptly at 7:30 the Moose, their wives and guests, numbering almost two hundred, filed . in the immense assembly room which through the co operation of the hotel manager, Mr. Barrow, himself a Moose, had been colorfully and artistically arranged to suit the occasion, and seated them selves at the spacious tables on which covers had been laid for the bounti ful occasion. The toastmaster for the occasion was Great North .Moore, A. H. Mclver, a prominent Sanford busi ness man who holds the highest posi tion within the gift of Enoca Legion No. 69.

Gunter, an outstanding member of the Order and whose untimely death three weeks ago removed his name from the program where he had been placed as toastmaster. One to the most genial and entertaining toastmasters in the State, Mr. Gunter was sorely missed at this meeting. For on'b hioment the gathering stood and halved in respectful silence to the memory) of- this good man. “Lodge'Night” a somewhat realis tic yet a thoroughly ludicrous pre sentation of the “doings” that are supposed to transpire in the average lodge meeting in Which the producers sought to depict for the gathering a typical Sanford Moose meet, sent the banqueteers into spasms of laughter.
