Elder S. Ebersole filled his appointment at the school house last Sunday and gave a very able discourse on “Reading and studying the Bible in our homes” and if all who heard him would follow his advice and read their Bibles, all of us, lovingly, faithfully, constantly, we should have a generation of strong and spiritual Christians, when our boys and girls grow up.

We have just received the sad news of the death of Calvin Barr, on Monday, at Medix Run, the eldest of the family of A. H. Barr on Huston Hill. From what we can learn he had only been sick since last Friday with appendicitis. Two doctors from Dubois and Dr. McGarrick of Medix Run performed an operation and he never rallied and died before they had finished. He leaves a wife and five children, father, mother, two sisters and one brother to mourn his untimely death. He was a man greatly beloved by everybody and especially his own folks.

G. Smith (sister), Huntley; Mrs. A. S. Bailey (sister-in-law); John Williams (nephew), Huston Hill; Mrs. C. W. Williams, Mr. C. J. Miller (children); Miss Maud Williams (grandchild), Mr. David Marsh, Mrs. C. M. Bailey, Mrs. E. G. Hicks and J. M. English and wife.
