Recognition Service At New Pastorate Noted In Seatonville
Rev. F. L. Breen formerly of Seatonville held a recognition service at his new pastorate in Chibouse last Wednesday. Old associates attended. Prospects for field and gardens look good and weather has been unusually favorable. A notice reached here that the C and N W local train may be discontinued, a hardship for miners who live here and work in Ladd. Children exercises at Congregational church last Sunday drew a fine crowd. A large group from the district left Friday for Kansas City Missouri for medical purposes.
