The. program was opened with a piano solo by Mrs. C. L. Cunningham, played in her usual good spirited style and enthus iastically encored. The Elks Quartet gave three splendid numbers which fact alone speaks well for the success of the urogram. Prof. MucMnrrav sang a beautiful solo, well accom panied by Mrs. Parson. Prof. Vining ttas called upon to tell of the experi ences of two 944 Elks in New York last winter when he undertook to show them the city and found them equal to any situation. He gave his guests the titles of Mr. R. L. B. and Mr." B. B., making it a matter of lit tle difficulty to supply the remainder of their names. Miss Beatrice Miller gave a very enjoyable reading and Miss Natalie Swigart a piano solo which were both well received. Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Pedersen furnished music for the dancing. There were about 175 people present, most of whom stayed for the dancing. The quecition is, if there are so many dancing people among the Elks, why they don't turn out for the regular dances. There were easily twice as many people on the floor as general ly attend the regular dances. Mr. and Mrs. T. (t. Simpson passed he nineteenth milestone on their matrimonial voyage last Friday. The, event was commemorated by an im promptu gathering of several neigh- Ileception to Retiring Pastor. The lecture room of the Presby terian church was thronged last night at an informal social reunion gotten up as a farewell to Rev. H. T. Chis holm and wife on the eve of their departure from Ashland. In the way of church affiliations the gathering knew no bounds. Presbyterians fra ternized with Baptists, while Episco palians elbowed not only with Free Methodists but also with the real genuine Methodist Episcopal follow ing. Even a number of Christians were present. All of this speaks well for the spirit of fellowship and good will which exists among Ashland churches, a circumstance which was dwelt upon by Mr. Chisholm in ref erence to cordial relations that have existed during his pastorate .among the different denominations repre- This space is for statement of City Electric Light Plant ASHLAND ELECTRIC POWER & LIGHT COMPANY. Adv. sented by the Ministerial Union, ,The pastor is one of the most tolerant and liberal of men and to this pro gressive spirit is due the universal esteem in which he is held by people in general without' regard to creed. The city clergy were invited in a body: and among their number Rev. Messrs. Douglass, Childs and Doran made brief remarks not only merely apropos, as the saying is, but also fervent and felicitous fervent as ex pressing regret at the pastoral rela tion about to be severed in this com munity, and felicitous in extending to Mr. Chisholm the best of wishes and utmost measure of success in his new field of labor. To all of which kind ' sentiment the retiring pastor replied in fitting terms. He further more gave a brief epitome of the work accomplished by the Ashland church during the past two years, highly complimenting the laity for the energy and zeal which had brought about so many fruitful re sults, religiously, financially and so cially. In behalf of the laity Mr. H. G. Gilmore made a few appropriate remarks in his usually happy vein. By way of diversion during the so cial hour there were vocal and in strumental selections, the kind of fices of the Elks' Club in this respect being freely extended in response to several encores. ""To relieve a. tense situation," as one brother termed it, a little non sense was Introduced by way of va riety. A bevy of young ladies, rang ing in years from the cradle roll epoch to the indeterminate period, joined in a farewell song, one stanza of which and the refrain were about as follows: We are sorry you're going to leave us Leave us for California; But we're glad to pass our blessings on On to fair Alhambra! Boo-hoo! The Chisholms are going away ' Down to old dusty California to stay, Away from the pines of the moun tains to cheer Away from the call of the bear and the deer. The "calof the bear and the deer" is supposed to reflect upon Mr. Chis holm's prowess as a mighty Nimrod in these parts. The refrain to this farewell effort was rendered by the "sob squad" with full tearful effects. Light refreshments" were served by the women's auxiliaries connected with the church organization, and an ideal social gathering dispersed with the benediction, preceded by singing "God be With You Till We Meet Again." Mr. and Mrs. Chisholm ' plan to leave Ashland early next week for southern California, where Mr. Chis holm has received a call to become the pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Alhambra, a city which is a suburb of Los Angeles.

The praise service at the Presby terian church last Sunday evening drew the usual overflow congrega tion. Both the auditorium and the main Sunday school room were filled, while many sat on the steps and the stone walls outside. The building of another wing to the church is the only solution for such services, as well as for other work which cannot be carried on without greater facili ties. The program consisted of selec tions by a male quartet, a ladies' quartet, solos and chorus. The violin obligatos were played by Mr. Peder sen in a faultless manner. Professor McMurray's rendition of "O Salu taris" in Latin was one of the best numbers ever given at these sacred concerts. The organ work by Mrs. Parsons was perfect and added much to the devotional spirit of all the music. r I TT 'il e!iciot$s I T IS a satisfaction to know that every article put on the table J is fresh and wholesome.
