PENSACOLA, ILA, July isl
Xne family of O. S. Norman, or
this city, has decided that July 5
is a bigger day in history than July
4 and in the future the day after
the day featured by firecrackers,
flag displays and speeches will be
celebrated in the household.
Eloise Norman was born at 5:50

5, 1921, and July 5, 1922 became

It is the only instance in this city
where as many as three children in

Rachel Edwards, who died here re
cently at the age of ninety-eight,
was not only the oldest resident of
Oberlin, but she was the oldest,
and probably the best known "war
gardener."
For ninety yeara of her lifetime
Mrs; Edwards had her own garden
and did all the work herself with
the exception of the plowing. When
the war garden movement was at its
height she was one of the leaders
in the country wide campaign to in
crease food stuffs production as one
means of checking the work of the
submarine.
A native of Wales, where many
of her relatives and decendants live,
she had twenty-six men of her fami
ly at the front in the British armies.
During the last five years of her
life Mrs Edwards gradually lost
her use of the English language
and went back to the Welsh of her
girlhood.

There was a great service at the Ilag-

not so large as it usually is because of
the threatening weather, but there were
about two thousand any way. Tho in
terest was fine as we could expect. Many
professed faith in Christ at the close of
the service. The preparatory service was
very fine. Many testified that they had
been saved "luring the meeting, and many
said thy had been brought closer to the
Lord. The children's songs last night
were very fine. It is wonderful to sea
how tho children are taking interot in
this meeting. They are njt being dragg
ed into the altar, but they are Iwiiig
trained to sing. A few of them ha
made profession, but not as many as
one wuld expect since there is so imuh
interest manifested in them. We feel
that all of them who an- old enough are
going to be brought to Chri"' before
the meeting closes. Miss Fannie Pruette
