CALEDONIA
Caledonia, June 15.—Next
Sunday, Jane 20, will hold
double significance for Cale-
donia church. It is national-
ly known as Father’s Day, and
• special program will be held
in the church with a very
prominent layman as the
weaker, observing Layman's
Day, as set aside by the
church. There were many
people present at Sunday
school Sunday who have not
been so regular in attendance,
though some of those more
regular were absent. We sin-
cerely hope for everyone who
is able to be there next Sun-
day and let’s make it a splen-
did day for the Lord.
The third quarterly confer-
ence for this year was held at
Wesley’s Chapel Saturday. A
good delegation from Cale-
donia attended and they report
a fine meeting with a good
aermon by the presiding elder
and a bountiful dinner nt the
noon hour.
Sanford Pineham is home
from his year’s work at the
State University and will spend

widely scattered points of the
state. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis
Hairgrove of Wright City;

Nelson with his wife and fam-
ily from Refugio, and Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Billingsley of the
Tennessee community, with
their daughter from Corpus
Christ! On Sunday the Gary
Sanford family enjoyed a de-
licious and bountiful dinner
with the Nelsons.
Excitement ran high In
Caledonia and her neighbor-
ing suburbs Sunday afternoon
and night after the report
came that there had been
found quite a good showing of
gas in the oil well, with hope
of oil at the present level. Ev-
erybody and his friends were
at the well to find out all the
news. The crew on Monday,
however, decided to go “fish-
ing,” and all Caledonia peo-
ple are fond of fishing as a
pastime. Mr. J. H. Barnett of
Gilmer, with the Barnett Pe-
troleum Co., in charge of drill-
ing operation, is here for a few
days.

On Saturday evening the
heart of Uncle Joe Harris, one
of our oldest and most beloved
citizens, was filled with joy
when a big car rolled up to his
door, and one of his first cou-
sins, John .Wameky, son of his
mother's sister, got cut of the
car. It was a happy meeting,
the first time they had met in
70 years. In 1876, Uncle Joe’s
father and Mr. Wameky’s fa-
ther and family left here to-
gether and went to Gainesville,
in Cooke county, in an ox-
drawn wagon. It was a long,
tiresome journey for the older
ones, but for the boys it was a
glorious outing, they being
nearly the same age. Uncle
Joe will be 80 July 8, and Mr.
Warneky will reach four-score
in September, and they were
great pals. In 1877 Uncle
Joe’s family moved back to
Shelby county, and the boys’
hearts were almost broken
when they parted. This reun-
ion took them back to the
glorious golden days of youth,
and their talk was a1! of the
olden times and the marvelous
changes since they made the
trip together. At that time
there was not a railroad or a
brick building between here
and the Indian Territory. Only
two children of each family
are still alive. Cousin John
and one sister, and Uncle Joe
and one sister, Mrs. Minnie
King. Mr. Wameky still lives
in Gainesville. They had lost
track of each other, and each
believed the other was dead
until they met last Saturday.
This meeting gladdened two
old hearts. May God’s richest
blessings rest on them the
few remaining days of their
lives.
A Note of Appreciation
In this time of sorrow at the
passing of our beloved father,
we are greatly heartened by
sympathetic handclasp and
consoling words of friends ev-
erywhere. It has measurably
lightened our burden of grief.
We shall never forget you and
pray God’s blessings on each
of you.
Ben Childs and family.

Wanda Jean Jensen of Crock-
ett are here for a visit with

price climbed back to three
cents and over. About nine or
ten sheds are in operation. In

taken and there are no vacant
buildings. _ Most of the sheds
