THURSDAY, JUNE 21,1951 Flint Hill Post Office Is 128 Years Old Miss Alma Ricketts, retired postmaster of Flint Hill, has received a record listing the past postmasters since the date of the establishment of the post office, March 27, 1823, then a part of Culpeper couftty. The list shows many names still in the county, and a few that seem strange and unknown. It is judged that when a name appears and then re-appears after another has been postmaster that change in political parties must have heen the cause. The names of postmasters and dates of their appointments are: Johnson Taylor — March 27, 1823 Joseph W. Carter — November 27, 1824 Joseph Reid, Jr.—August 28, 1832 Mark Reid—May 15, 1840 Thomas I. Massie — December 18, 1840 David I. Castleman—September 29, 1851 Lewis Moore—March 25, 1852 David I. Castleman — April 1, 1853 George Detherage — December 3, 1855 Robert Detherage — April 1, 1858. Lewis Moore —D ecember 4, 1865 Mrs. Elizabeth Moore— March 12, 1866 Pressley H. O’BannQn—December 28, 1868 Howard Compton — December 15, 1870 Mrs. Sidney A. Howard—December 2, 1876 Philip C. Oden — October 18, 1877 '• Joseph Pomfret — October 21, 1881 Philip C. Oden—May 22, 1885 Joseph Pomfret — August 6, 1889 Mrs. Lillie B. Settle—December 3, 1892 Miss Robbie G. Ricketts—March 14, 1911 Miss Alma R. Ricketts—May 2, 1913. ' The records continue with this: “An early mail route including Flint Hill was Number 1949, from Co 1 p e p e r (via Thompsonville, Newby’s Cross Roads, Rock Mills, Washington, Gaines Cross Roads, Flint Hill, Sandy Hook, Front Royal, Johnston, and White Post) to Millwood, 67 miles, let for a period 1830-1834 to William Ashby of Culpeper Court House, twice a week from Culpeper C. H. to Front Royal and thence once a week to Millwood.” ..7 -0. Church School Donates To CARE The offering taken last week at the Community Church School of 'Flint Hill sponsored by the Baptist and Methodist" churches of Flint Hill, amounted to $17.41 for CARE. Each church will send $8.70 to some person in need, through this organization as was the case last year. Corxespondence was received from a widow in Rome, Italy, thanking the organization for her CARE food package. Another card was received from a kindergarten doing relief work in Aus^ijia, thanking the school for two 100 per cent wool blankets and other supplies in the kit. According to the official stamp packages were received in •both cases August 20, 1950. The cost of conducting the 1951 school 'which enrolled 112 students this year cost the sponsosr $34.73 in addition to donations. 4Add A Dollar* Grows On Church Fund ^ r “Add a dollar” is still growing on the signs in Washington on the Baptist church campaign to add to tlj,e Sunday.

K * RAPP - CHATS 1 By: W.,H. Lyne ~ County Agent Seventy - nine Rappahannock - wool producers pooled a total of 13,063 lbs. of wool on Thursday, June 14, compared to a total of 946-5 lbs. in 1950-and 10,428 lbs. in 1949. An additional 2300 lbs. of Rappahannock wool was delivered to the Culpeper pool the following day, making a total of 15,>353 lbs. known to have been marketed co-operatively. R. L. Munra of Castleton is our largest wool producer, having consigned 1039 lbs. to the Culpeper pool. J. W. Keyser was second with 643 lbs., and W. G. Eastham was third with <529 lbs. Yours truly had to hit the top in some way or another and did so by having the most wool in a standard wool bag — 275 lbs. — handled through the Rappahannock pool; howe 'er a .Culpeper farmer brought in a bag to their poof* weighing 290 lbs. With the completion of one project another always opens and thus again the time has arrived to try and make you dear readers Japanese Beetle Conscious. Prospects for a bumper crop are better than ever, thus prospects for greater damage to crops, fruit and pastures is inevitable. Control is fairly simple and inexpensive, however, a persistent enemy requires persistent resistance; just another case of survival of the fittest. Now for some pretty plain talk: Your Maker endowed most of you with more brains and greater physical strength than He allowed the Japanese beetle. Mankind has thus developed greater and more efficient mental and physical skills. No matter whether the problem be Japanese Beetle or clothing your hide, you should and can lick it. Years of scientific research have revealed that 2 lbs. of 50% wettable DDT powder per 100 gallons of water applied as a spray is the most effective means of controlling the adult beetle and that milky disease spore dust is the most effective means of combating the Japanese Beetle in the grub stage of its life cycle. This dust is applied as is and may be done easily. The DDT can be purchased at most any of our stores or farm supply dealers. The spore dust can be purchased from any of the seed houses. One catalogue quotes 'it at $4.50 per pound, but your County Board of Supervisors has made it available at $1.25 per pound to Rappahannock land owners. They realize that this is an agricultural county, that the farmers' welfare determines the welfare of the county. They purchased the spore dust at wholesale and are meeting the half of the cost to you. Many of us squawk for this or that, but apparently don't care about trying to help ourselves; yet were I or any member of the board to say. “Hi, Insect 1” upon meeting, you would feel insulted. You have made great sacrifices in money and effort to buy and produce quality livestock; *to buy and produce the better varieties of apples and peaches; to buy and produce the best known varieties of corn; to buy the proper analy sis and quantity of fertilizer necessary for quality pastures! Are you going to let the Japanese Beetle rob you of these things or any sizeable part of them? The answer is yes, based on the rate the county-owned spore dust is being purchased and used by the farmers. And ladies—we the not going ' to leave you alone—yau have combined some of John’s money dhd your perspiration in beautifying your gardens and lawns with beautiful roses^ lawn grass mixture*, etc., which is as it should be, but ' have those lawns been made Japs- : nese Settle grub proof? You, too, can help and your help as well as that of the nun is highly sought. * Let’s keep those roses pretty! Let’s keep the lawns lush and green! Let’s put that corn into the crib—into livestock—into your bill fold.- Let’s fight the Japanese Beetle! Let’s use Milky Disease Sport Dust, the only permanent control measure research has found.

We still have some aluminum and copper for making trays. Call the agent’s office if you are interested in getting some. A number of groups in the county are meeting this month to make trays. Timelr Hint* Beef cows—cull late breeders and barren cows. If in good condition, sell in early summer for best market. Beef Heifers — breed to calf when 24 months of age or older. Another rule: have them weighing 900 lbs. or better at calving time. Heifer calves—separate the olde* >nes, that is, those 5-6 months o*. age with their dams from the herd bull. * -Calves in general—creep feeding will pay if pastures are poor orv overstocked., Vaccinate now and again in early fall to prevent blackleg. Castrate all bull calves* Dehorn, use fly repellent tike Smear 62. Machinery — check and grease binders and combines. . » Buildings—clean out bins, preparatory for storing small grains.' If you haven't already begun hay making, clean out the hay loft in your barn. Pastures — mowing should ba completed in next ten days. Corn—it's time to apply nitrate* Do so in middle of balk. If dbne by hand, apply to every other balk to save time and labor. Care should be used in seeing that nitrate doesn’t lodge in earn plant when being applied. ; Alfalfa—time to make that seepnd cutting. Do so when about \k in bloom. -j|: Si • * - ■' . I - Henderson Comments On Weekly Papers Traveling With Don Henderson Every week the office of the Virginia Angus Association, in Charlottesville, receives around 90 weekly newspapers of the State. They are scanned for news and items for the outdoor man, and so graded. Come with us through a group, no matter where from. Kappahannock News, from the place where the pastures on the hillsides are wonderful and the good horsefolks thereabouts have taught many a swank hunting country man and woman how to put on a slap-up hunt meeting. Here is" the front page, “RappChats” by county agent W. H. Lyne, and that alone is a sign of co-operation between the two most important factors for promotion in any county, the newspaper editor and the county agent. “Agency heads pledge support of Governor’s pasture program”, that alone would be enough to give the sheet an “A” rating, but when we see the bull s head on the top left corner on the streamer is that of an Angus, we add a plus to that “A”. (Editor’s note: The paper tries to remember to alternate the Angus with a Hereford, just to keep the white-faced boys happy) South Boston News, down in Halifax county, of the southwest good cattle country too. “Hundreds see rose show exhibit by garden clubhand that too is from our good land, showing its versatility, in production and the interests of our natives. The King George News, and that’s way over south of Fredericksburg, where the Rappahannock River gets wider and the Potomac bounds it on the east. It too is good country and to price its editor’s worth he has the Chesapeake League Baseball standing box on the front page. Sign of a good American. The Shenandoah Valley, over at New Market, where our weekly column has been used for many weeks and months too, “4-H Barn Dance held in barn”, and you’ve got to know these people of the Valley to knowr just how much fun they get out of that sort of thing, and how much the boys of the print office cooperate in seeing it has space. _ The Amherst New Era Progress, and Amherst county is about due south of Charlottesville, great country too. That fine County Agent there, O. B. Ross, has space for his column of Farm Notes, to read them is like going to a good extension meeting. The Tidewater News, from that good town of Franklin, Southampton County, it’s down there that the Hampshire hog is getting such a play by the peanut growers and some farmers are already using an Angus bull on their lower bracket dairy cows, for vealer production, while their top producers go to a top bull of that dairy breed for stancion replacements, its as it should be. "Profitable hog production without pasture is an impossibility”, says the Farm News page by the farm and home extension agent. And that’s tantamount to gospel. That has taken-you good folks up there on Route 211 and other good highways thereabouts, over a lot of territory, none better than your own, for its all part of the good Old Dominion.

Hudson Receives ‘Tree Farm’ Certificate By Caleb M. Pennock, Jr. Forester A ‘‘Tree Farm’’ certificate was presented to L. R. Hudson of Slate Mills on June 19 at the State Forest Nursery, Charlottesville. The “Tree Farm1’ program in Virginia is sponsored by Virginia Forests, Inc., in co-operation with, the Virginia Forest Service, VPI Extension Service, and the Soil Conservation Service. Under this program landowners receive certification and agree to manage their timber area according to approved forestry practices. It is a program designed to recognize and honor those landowners who are practicing sound forestry measures on their woodland acreage. Its purpose is to encourage Virginia landowners to maintain or increase the value of their tree “crop” so that the forests of the state will be a perpetual source of income to their owners and to the many thousands of Virginians who are employed directly or indirectly in the harvesting or processing of that “crop.” To date, in Virginia, there are 48 certified “Tree Farms” with a total acreage of 210,142. Approximately 24 more tree farms whose acreage will total nearly 150,000 will receive certification during this year. Any forest or woodland owner, whether he has much or little acreage, is eligible to reoeive a ^'Tree Farm” award if he meets the standards as established by the Virginia Forestry Committee. Landowners desiring further information should contact your County Agent, District Forester, or Soil Conservation Technician. Charles W. Warden Charles William Warden, 88, son of the Reverend and Mrs. William Jacob Warden, of Rap-" pahannock county, died Saturday at Washington, D.C., as the result of a broken hip in a fall in his home a few days previous. Interment was at Staunton. _ __ Mr. Warden was one' of the founders and Executive Vice President of the Continental Trust Company, of Washington, that later consolidated with another bank in that city, at which time Ke retired. Before coming to Washington, D.C., Mr. Warden was vice president of the First National Bank, of Bristol, Tennessee. He later became President of the United States Trust Company of that city. Services were held Monday at the Church of the Pilgrims, of which church he was Elder for 40 years. He was a Board Director of te Central Union Mission; Trustee of the Presbyterian Home for the Aged and Manager of the Prisoners’ Aid Association. President Wilson awarded him a personal citation in World War I for activities in Liberty Bond drives. He was formerly and for many years Treasurer of the Southern Society of Washington. Mr. Warden and his father are well remembered by the older people of the county, where the former was born, and attended school, while the latter for many years contributed his services as minister without remuneration to the Presbyterian church in Washington. Mr. Warden’s mother was, before her marriage, Miss Mary Wade Ashby, of Culpeper. SujrviVors are his wife, Mrs. May Arthur Warden; a son, Arthur Hills Warden, of Jacksonville, Florida; and one sister, Mrs. Raymond F.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Moraine *t Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE , Publisher _x Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at .Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-- $2.00 a year Dare to be wise; begin! He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.—Horace. -IfTeasing No place in the world do people enjoy teasing as much as they do in Rappahannock. A favorite sport among the men is telling you how hen-pecked they are, and teasing each other about being hen-pecked. The teasing, itself, is proof they aren’t; for if they were, the subject would be a very touchy one. This is one reason the men in Washington got so much pleasure from the election of the all-woman government. The Trial Justice’s original statement about the women always had managed the town and “might as well make it legal” showed this trend. Another spark showing the love of teasing is the exaggerated pretense of ill-will between the two larger towns of the county. Each one of the towns pretends to be alternately jealous, spiteful, or hating each other. Residents of each will berate the habits of the residents of the other—but they always take a time iwhen they are certain there is someone present who will take up the argument and keep it going, just for the fun of it. After considerable questioning, as to why the residents of the two towns hale each other, this Btatement came out: “Now, quit being so serious. Let us have our fun!” Not one person questioned would admit he liked or disliked! a person because of the location of his home. “It’s stupid to say I like a fellow or dislike him* because of the town in which he lives,” was one statement. “You are trying to make something from a non-existent situation,” was another. The summary of the age-old Sperryville-Washington feud runs something like this: there is no such thing; it furnishes conversation and friendly rivalry; part of it may have come from the old days when the two high school basketball and baseball teams used to clash, but that day is gone. Grown men and women do not 'continue seriously with high school rivalries; they outgrow them. It is a mythological battle continued through the county’s love of teasing and sport with words. The ancient art of conversation, nearly extinct in other sections of our great nation, is still alive in Rappahannock and a part of it takes the form of pleasant “kidding,” kiddin’ a fellow about being hen-pecked, kiddin’ him about the town he lives in, or kiddin’ him about some preposterous, concocted story. June’Is Still Preferred Month for Wedding* Dad, if you can’t got your mind off the statistics piling up with a June wedding in your family— statistics like the cost of receptions, the price of bridal satin, and the dollars going into trousseau trappings—here are some more statistics, non-fiscal, but still tied up with Lohengrin and orange blossoms. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, listing statistics on the extent to which American women prefer June for their weddings, reports: For the country as a whole the daily number of marriages in June is 45 per cent higher than the average for the year. Preference for the traditional month is most marked in the northeastern and north central Parents’ k Problems By DONALD M. MAYNARD Questions About Death My three-year-old heard a neighbor and myself talking about a person that had died four days ago. Just now she asked me, “How come did Lee’s mother die?” What would be your answer to this.% Death does not mean a great deal to a three-year-old girl, although she may have had some contact with it by seeing birds or animals that were dead. Certainly death is not yet associated in her mind with a great sense of loss or of sorrow. Therefore, in answering her question I would suggest that in a very matter-; of-fact way you tell your daughter that death comes when a person’s body is' worn out or sometimes when he has a bad accident. In this case you can say that Lee’s mother died because her body wore out. That is probably all you need to say. Do not go into any of the details concerning her death. Change the subject to something else. In this way you are not avoiding her question, you are answering it honestly, and at the same time you are avoiding that sort of dwell-1 ing upon death that might cause great emotional upset or fear on her part. If you should find that after hearing you and your neighbor talking about this death, your daughter seems to be unusually nervous, can’t sleep at night, and is restless and irritable, it may be that the idea of death bothers her more than you realize. She may have the idea, for example, that when one is sick he dies. If you think there may be this misunderstanding in her mind, refer to-, someone who has been sick but who; now is well because the doctors knew how to help her get well, and comment, casually that most people who are sick get welL Unhappy With Father My husband has never had any sympathy far our little girl—always laughed' ‘when she was sad or upset. Cause-', quently she will never go to him except when happy. How can he overcome this? She gets to upset when I leave, and unless she is happy never looftt fortpard to being Ivith him. He loves -her dearly and I know this hurts him, even though he has been the cause. I judge from your question that your husband now realms that he should not have laughed at your daughter when she wan sad or upset and that life is genuinely sorry that he did sow He must realise, however, that because he has made fun of her in the past the little girl quite naturally haa, .come to the place where dm doesn't want to be around him when she feels unhappy. Nothing he can do will her attitude immediately. Mistakes an not overcome that easily. I Let me suggest the following: The next time the little girl is upset er unhappy and is with you, let your bun' band remain with you, also, and 1st him be unusually sympathetic and. understanding with reference to your daughter's feeling. At first she undoubtedly will dfag ■sore to you and may even < hostility toward your huaba jussssit, If be will be patient, guard a laughing at the little girl when the feels bad, if he will try to increase the number of timet they can have happy experiences together, it is likely that she will learn gradually to accept him at all times, not. simply when she is feeling good. It should be stressed again, however, that it will take time to bring about .this change in your little daughter, but if the above procedure is followed it should bring results. Teen Money Troubles We have a modest income. Our son, sixteen, is unhappy because he cant keep up with his school friends in social life. The girls expect corsages that cost five dollars, and expensive entertaining toe can’t afford. Any suggestions? I have no suggestions for an easy solution of your problem. In fact, I don't think there is one. It isn’t pleasant to be unable to keep up with financial expectations of one s crowd, but, after all, there is no lesson in life that is more important than that Dr. Maynard’s new booklet, Y«ur Child Today, discusses twenty of the most common problems of parents. It’s free; mail a postcard to Donald M. Maynard, 810 Broadway, Nashville 2, Tennessee, and ask for a copy. of learning to accept one’s financial position and to adjust to it accordingly. If the income of your family doesn't permit your son to keep up with his crowd, then he’ll just have to accept that fact and make the best of it. But something else needs to be said. Surely not all of those in your son’s crowd are financially affluent. There must be other boys who are as embarrassed as your son. He’ll know who they are. Suggest that they get together and idecide that on their dates they’ll not pamper the whims of the weaker sex. ■Let them plan dates ’ together. Adolescents with a little ingenuity and ere-’ ativeness can have good times together without spending a lot of money. And let’s not ke unfair to the girla. Many of them are sane and sensible and won’t expect the boys to provide entertainment they can’t afford, j It should be remembered, too, that a boy who has “something on the ball," that is, who has an attractive personality and is active in school affairs, can get by without buying corsages ahd alwhys providing expensive entertainment. Furthermore, there are beautiful flower, arrangements that can be had lor a rea’sonable sum. 1 Granting that your atm should learn {to get along on the family income, it also is true that he should have the satisfaction that comes from an occasional “splurge." V Even with your modest income, far example, you probably can agree to pay for <me or two corsages a year for special occasions. It can be understood that if he wants to give them more frequently than this, he must pay for them out of his allowance or get the money for them by working for it. By ■following some such plan, ne will not feel entirely left out of his crowd. regions, with the daily number running 60 to 70 per cent higher than the year’s average. In the Dakotas and Wisconsin marriages in June average twice the daily number for the year, and in Oregon, Vermont, Minnesota, Massachusetts fnd Nebraska they are at least 70 per cent higher. June, however, is not the preferred month for weddings in all sections of the country. December is the favored month in South Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Georgia. In Nevada, there is no pronounced seasonal pattern, although the summer months are popular, and in Utah the month of choice is May. June is most popular among girls marrying for the first time, and they constitute about four-t fifths of all brides. Although women who are remarrying also prefer June, their marriages are more evenly distributed through the year. The excess ' of June marriages for brides who were married before is about two-thirds less than for those entering their first marriage. Divorcees choose almost equally between June and July, and widows prefer the early fall almost! as much as June. —Boston Traveler. * -- I ‘The Time Ha* Come * I I I | the Walrus itid ... | 4IIIIIMIIIIIMI IMMIIMimiMI Why does an editor use the word “We” in^ writing an editorial? The “Iowa Publisher” recently reprinted the following explanation for the “editorial we” which was published in the Williamstown Advocate o\er 100 years ago: “A Country Editor—is one who reads newspapers, selects miscellany, writes articles on all subjects, sets type, reads proof, folds papers, and sometimes carries them, prints jobs, runs on errands, cuts wood, works in the garden, talks to all his patrons who call, patiently receives blame for a thousand things that never were and never can be done, gets little money, has scarce time and materials to satisfy his hunger, or to enjoy the quiet of nature’s sweet restorer, sleep, and esteems himself peculiarly happy if he is not assaulted and battered by some unprincipled demagogue who loves puppet shows and hires the rabble with a treat of cider brandy to vote him into some petty office. A man who does all this and much more, not here recorded, you will know must be a rather busy animal; and as he performs the work of so many different persons, he may justly be supposed their representative, and to have an indisputable right, when speaking of himself, to ase the plural number, and to say we on all occasions and in all places.” * * * “A thing of beauty is a joy forever” is reworded by the Rappahannock Garden Club into “a thing of beauty is a job forever.” The ladies must been thinking of their flower gardens—truly a job—in keeping them clean and weeded, free from bugs and pests, and always on show. The Garden Club ladies have been outdone lately, for the county is resplendant with rambling and climbing roses.

We may oh! and ah! over some ^single specimen of a magnificent rose which comes from a welltended rose garden. It is truly a joy and we quickly realize thai it has been a job. The burst of color along the fence rows, where all the roses are a-bloom, presents a Bight unequalled by the lady’s best garden. * * * Roses are red; violets are blue; sugar’s sweet, but. it spoils good coffee. The above opinion belongs to me. It does not represent JtRje thinking of any or all of the peopleof the state of Virginia or the county of Rappahannock, nor even a fraction of the citizenry thereof. * * * From the great Yankee city of New York comes news of the “Bill of the Month Club.” It’s an idea of two New Yorkers to help their fellows pay the bills. They offer to pay all your bills for you—all you have to do ia supply the money. (I knew there was a catch in it somewhere.) The club charges $6 a month, for the service. They’ll write pleasant letters to creditors, and if your bills exceed what you have to pay on them, they’ll prorate it, pay everybody something and keep the creditors satisfied with a soothing letter. At least that’s what they promise. (I wonder do they prorate their own fees, too.) Yep, give us another century or two, and we’ll get all of man’s troubles organized, catalogued, turned over to an agency for a fee, dhd all iwe’lf have to do is work and turn all our money over to them. It sounds like the simple solution—only I’m not real sure who’s simpler; my name may be Simon. • • * Back a few years the world heralded the rapid demise of the fly. DDT was here to stay and the pestiferous ffy was on its way out —for good. It was predicted that in a few years the fly-swatten would be a museum piece, and you could n<od comfortably on the front porch upon a summer’s evening without slapping the end of your nose. How much longer do we have to wait? The flies around our< house ain’t dead ones, and they still buzz with all the nuisance of former days.

Srynol&H iMemnrtal lap list (JUjurrJi SPERRYVILLE, VIRGINIA The name Reynolds Memorial was given the Baptist Church in Sperryville in 1925, in honor of a pastor who had served the church eleven years and who died while pastor of thp church. This pastor was the Reverend W. J. Reynolds. This is the "third name this Baptist organization has had through the years. . The organization stems from the original Baptist organization in the “Old Hollow”, dating back to 1787. In the decade of 1830-1840, the missionary impulse was making itself stronger among the Baptists and as a result, many churches were divided. The Baptist group at the “Old Hollow” was not an exception, so in 1839 this Baptist group divided into the Missionary and Primitive groups. According to the 1838-1883 minute book of the or ganization, it is recorded when it divided “amicably” in 1838 each group, “Missionary and Primitive”, occupied tne meeting house half of each month. Each claimed the name, the date of origin (1787) and true succession. (This information is from the 1838-1883 record book now with the Virginia Baptist Historical Society, Richmond, Virginia). In 1852, a new church building was built in the village of Sperryville on a lot given by Lucy Wood. This building is the present Rappahannock Supply Co-op. During the war between the states, this building, so we are told, was used as a hospital. In 1883, the name was changed from Thornton’s Gap Missionary Baptist Church to the Sperryville Baptist Church. In 1925 a new church building was built on a lot offered by O. L. Dodson and Mrs. H. G. Gore. The name was changed to the Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church. The first missionary pastor was Cumberland George, Sept. 14,1838 to August, 1848; T. W. Lewis, Sept., 1849 to May, 1861. During the war between the states, there was no pastor and no record was kept. S. M. Athey, Feb. 1866 to March, 1873; A. H. Spilman, Aug., 1873 to March, 1875; A. M. Grimsley, June, 18^> to March, 1885; A. J. Fristoe, May, 1885 to March, 1887; Hugli Goodwin, April, 1888 to Jan., 1892; R. Atwell Tucker, Oct., 1892 to Aug., 1896; S. M. Athey, Jan., 1897 to July, 1911; W. j. Reynolds, Dec., 1911, to July, 1921; George F. Cook, Oct., 1921 to April, 1925; P. H. Chelf, June, 1926 to 1945; A Paul Thompson June, 1946. James W. Bragg was Church Clerk from 1838 to 1894. This is the longest period served by any one person as clerk, with James Atkins next, as present clerk, having served since 1925. Other clerks have been: H. C. Johnson, B. R. Miller, H. B. Miller, H. G. Gore and Mrs. Maude Gore. The building committee for the church building erected in 1852 was: Marcus Cooper, Philip Rudasill, and James W. Bragg. The builders were Robert and ScottBruce. The building committee for the present church building was: W.E. Seibert, chairman, Dr. C. E. Johnson, treasurer, J. WaltonSVood and O. L. Dodson. It was built by Charles W. Hawkins at the cost of $15,000. The first person to be baptized in the new church baptistry was Robert Reynolds, son of the minister for whom the church is named. It is generally thought that the wedding of Miss Frances Bruce to Mr. Lawton Blankenbaker in 1927 was the first wedding in the new church. In 1947 a new Minshall-Estey organ was purchased as a memorial to the late Mrs. J. Walton Wood, who had been choir director and organist over a period of fifty years. In 1948 a memorial window was placed in the church as a memorial to these people who had served the church during their life time: Martha Grimsley Wood, Susan Wood Johnson, Thomas and Eliza Gore, John P. Snead, Frances Wood Smith. This window was given by the families of the people for whom the window is a memorial. In 1949, the basement was improved to accommodate the Children’s Department of the Sunday School. This Baptist organization has entertained the Shiloh Association seven times, the last time being last year. episcopal TRINITY EPISCOPAL (Washington) Dr. W. G.

Place the door flat on the floor and center mirror on door so it completely covers recessed panels and the mirror edges lie over the thick part of the door. _(3) Six plastic clips come with the Venetian type mirrors. Place them as shown in the sketch, first inserting a small pad of folded cleansing tissne behind the mirror at the spot where the clip will be.
