Reb replaced the receiver, then went to inform his wife. When told fiia could hardly believe if. She was in town three days ago, she saw J'ohn Hickman on the whittling and joshing with friends, he appeared in the best" of health, why she even saw him laugh and slap Zig Turner on the back in merriment. However, she knew it was true. Reb wouldn’t Joke on such a serious matter. “When are they holding serv ices?” she asked. “Ten o’clock tomorrow morn ing,” replied Reb. “Woodland meeting house.
