' - Vours for tne'crc9.r ?tf km et mm 1- SyS Mi 'ALLEY FORGE, scene of the Continental Army's martyrdom and heroism In the depressing days of 1777 and 1778, will famish the background for a great national ob serrance of the 150th anniversary. Imposing memorials are planned for the big cantonment outside of Phila delphia, chiefly a Washington Memo rial Library and a Washington Memo rial Church, non-denomln'atlonal. While the details for the celebration have not yet been announced, it is believed that they will be most com prehensive and picturesque, including participation first of all by the thir teen -original states and -then by all forty-eight state!. , - The Washington memorials will rise on the site of the Zulich mansion, de stroyed last spring by fire. The Rev. W. Herbert Burk, founder and rector of the Washington Memorial Chapel, has received assurances of gifts that will make the memorials possible. His congregation has bought a site covering 15 acres for the buildings and an unidentified donor has promised funds tor the Library, the cornerstone Washington's Headquarters and Memorial Arch at Valley Forge. The Walk Approaching the Arch Has Been Chemically Treated. for which will be laid June 19, 1928, as the closing feature of the Sesqui Centennial observance. " History only will have a pWce on the library shelves. Each state will. ( be represented by works dealing with the history of that state and the li brary will have, therefore, 48 alcoves. - Valley Forge continues to be the center of interest of thousands and thousands of visitors from every sec tion ot the country, as well as from abroad. ; Railroads and automobile bus com-: panles regularly run excursions to the famous old shrine of patriotism and on Sundays and holidays even the broad acres ot Valley Forge are taxed for space by the huge throngs. In addition many visitors travel by pri vate motor cars over the excellent roads, kept In splendid condition by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All roads to Valley Forge run through a landscape of remarkable beauty, artists agree, and these roads are treated, as necessity arises, with chemicals, especially calcium chloride, tMlay the dst. Only 32 miles from Philadelphia, the shrine has long been one of the favor ite objectives for dally excursions for Philadelphlans, as well as for visitors to that city who have combined the Valley Forge trip with a tour of other places of historic interest, such as Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House and other relics of the Revolution.-' That Interest is expected to be stim ulated by the forthcoming celebration, NOTICE! TO THE TAX PAYERS OF THE TOWN OF MARSHALL Your taxes are past due. Call and pay same to either R. N. Ramsey or Claud Sawyer. If not paid by July 1st, 1928, we will be forced to levy and Collect Will you please think of this in a sensible and business-like manner? It's impossible for the Town to meet its obligations unless the Taxes are collected. Respectfully, R. N. RAMSEY and CLAUD SAWYER, Tax Collectors. 2t. AT THE CLOSE OF DAY At the close of the day when the birds hide away, And the breeze begins to play among the trees; When the sun's very light fades away into night, And there is no drowsy hum of bees. My thoughts soon fly to a friend no lonarer nisrh. And as the breezes sigh, I dream twelve minutes later a steward who found me sitting in my private office covering my face with my hand, e-ud: "Doctor, Charlie Culison wishes to see you." I have seen him, I answer ed, and I cannot ..see ..him ..agflir." "But Doctor, he says he must see you once more before he dies."

CULSION THE DRUMMER BOY (Continued from page one) by me now." He kept his promise and never groaned. That night I coul not sleep, for whichever way I turned my head I could see those soft blue eyes, and when I closed mine, the words, "Blessed Jesus, stand by me now", kept ringing in my ears. Between twelve and one o'clock, I left my bed and visited the hospital, a thing I had never done before, unless specially called, but such was my desire to nee tnat hoy. upon my arrival there, I was mtormed by the night steward that sixteen of the hopeless cases had died and been carried down to the dead house. "How is Charlie Culsion, is he among the dead," I asked. "No sir, answered the steward, he is sleep ing as a babe' When I came up to the bed where he lay, one of the nurses informed me that about nine o'clock, two members of the Y.M.C.A. came through the hospital to read and sing a hymn. They, accompanied by Chaplain R. who knelt by Charlie (Julsion s bed and offered un a ferv ent and soul stirring prayer, after which they sang while still upon their Knees, tne sweetest of all hymns, Jesus Lover of My SouL", in which Charlie joined. I could not understand how that boy who had undergone such pain, could sing. Five days after I had amputated that dear boys arm and leg, he sent far me, and it waa from him on that day. .that I neard my first Gospel sermon. "Doctor," he said, "the hour has come, I do not ex pect to see another sunrise, but thank God I am ready to go, and before I die, I desire to thank you with all my heart for your kindness to me. Doe-! tor, you an a Jew, Yoa do not be lieve in Jesus. Will yoa please stand here and see me- die trusting in say Saviour to the . last moment of . my life." I tried to stay but I could not. for I. had not the euorage to stand by and see a christian boy. die -rejoicing in. the love of . that Je is whom I had been taurht to hste. So! I awriecy left the room. About' sinking1 fast, so I sat down by his bed. Asking me to take his hand, he said r "Doctor, I love you because you are Jew: the best friend I have found in this world was a Jew." I asked hint who that was. He answered, "Jesus Christ to whom I want to introduce you before I die, and will you prom ise me Doctor that what I am abont to say to you, you will never forget.,r I promised and he said, "Five days ago while you amputated my arm and leg, 1 prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ to convert your soul." These words went deep into my heart. I could not understand- how, whejj I was causing him the most intense pain, he could forget all about himself and think of nothing but his Saviour and my un converted soul. All I could say to him was, "Well my dear boy, you will soon be all right." With these words I left him, and twelve minutes later he fell asleep safe in the arms of Jesus. Hundreds of soldiers died jn my hospital during the war, but I only followed one) to the grave and that was Charlie Culsion, the drum mer boy, and I rode three miles to see him burned. I had him dressed in a new uniform and placed in an officers coffin with a United States flag over it. That boys dying worda made a deep impression on me. I was rich at that time so Zz.1' :.z :-.-.;::cy was concerned, but I would have given every penny I possessed if I could have felt toward Christ as Charlie did, but that feeling cannot be bought with money. Alas, I soon forgot alt about my christian soldiers little ser mon, but I could not forget the boy himself. I now know that at that time I was under deep conviction of sin but I fought against Christ with all the hatred of a Jew for nearly ten years, until finally the dear boys prayers were answered and God con verted my soul. About eighteen months after my conversion. I atten ded prayer meeting one evening in tne city of Brooklyn, it was one of those meetings when christians testi fy of the loving kindness of their Saviour. After several of them had spoken an elderly lady arose and said. Dear friends, this may be the last time that it is my privilege to testify for Christ, my family physician told me yesterday that nv risrht lune was nearly gone and my left lunar is verv much affected, so at best I have but a short time to be with you, but what is left of me belongs to Jesus. Oh, it is a-great joy to know that I shall meet my boy with Jesus in heaven. My son was not only a soldier for his cetyitry, but a soldier for Christ too, &-jwas wounded at the battle of Gettysburg and fell into the hands of a Jewish doctor who amputated his arm and leir. but he died five davs after the operation. The chaplain of the regiment wrote me a letter and sent me my boys bible. In that letter was informed that my Charli m his dying hour, sent for that Jewish doctor, and said to him, "Doctor, be fore I die, I wish to tell you that five days ago while you amputated my arm and leg, I prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ to convert your soul." When I heard the lady'j testimony I could no longer sit still. I left my seat and crossed the room, and taking her hand said, "God bless you my dear sister, your boys prayers have been heard and answered. I am the Je'vish doctor for whom our Charlie praved and his Saviour is now my Saviour too." SPECIAL UCENSE TAX DUE MADISON COUNTY, FOR YEAR, -.
