Rev. Posey's Farewell Sermon to K. of P.
Kev. T. ti.v rosey preacnea a
very . impressive : sermon to the
Knights of Pythias Sunday after
noon, commemorating tne 4tn
anniversary of this fraternal or
der, and the closing hymn, God
Be With You Tilt We Meet Again"
made us feel deeply the fact that
Mr; Posey had delivered his last
sermon in Columbus, having re
ceived a call to a new field in South
boost it needs to become a flour
ishing county. We hear on all
sides of the poor condition of our
roads and much interest has been
manifested in their improvement,
which leads us to look for a large
attendance of our progressive
element. Are we going to. wake
up to our opportunities now and
use them or are we going to sleep
on and on, unmindful of our duty
to ourselves, our County and our
State? The meeting will tell.
