John Fletcher Raynot. aged 72 years, died Sunday evening at his home in Huntington from troubles resulting from locomotor ataxia, from which he had suffered, several years. He was descended from an old Long Islano family. His father was William B. Raynor and his mother, Mary Ann Valentine, and was one of five child ren, and was horn on December 7, 1838, on a farm at Raynortown, as Freeport was then known, that had been owned by the Raynor family sev eral generations. Of the four brothers and sisters, two survive. Previous to going to Huntington in 1886 Mr. Raynor conducted the home stead farm and engaged in the oyster business. When he went to HuYiting- ton ■ it was as a representative of a mercantile house. For the last fifteen years he was engaged in -newspaper work for the Huntington papers. He was for si^ty-two years a member of, the Methodigt Church, having united with the Sandhill Church so called, which stood near his boyhood home, when he was 10 years old. He was one of the original members of that church, and later, until he came to went Huntington and united with the church here, was a leading member of the Freeport Church. He married on October 27, 1867, Miss Anna A. Rhodes, of Freeport, and five children were born to them, find fill survive, as does their mother, They are: Mrs. William G.

Raynor of Huntington. Funeral ser vices were held Wednesday, with in terment in Greenfield Cemetery. 1-1 7 :80 p. u««, - a Last ” barn in the rear of the mill end about 20 feet away, burning fiercely. About an hour's work was necessary, the blaze being under suqb headway that nothing could be done with the barn, and the mill was protected from the sparks till the danger was ^ver. It is not Known what caused the fire but it has been a sort of sleeping place for people looking for a cheap lodging house, and it is thought it was proba bly set afire from a match dropped by one of these visitors. It was gll ablaze when the alarm was sent in and the firemen made a good showing in pro tecting the adjoining buildings. , At the monthly meeting of the Coun cil Wednesday evening, a request was received from Wideawake Engine Co. that they be supplied with a hose wag on to be placed in their headquarters on Church street. ' The following resolution was unani mously adopted by the meeting: Re solved, That the Chief be instructed to appear before the Village Board at Next Sunday at the M. E. Church the paator, W. A. Richard, will preach at 10:80 a. m. on “ The T*o Calls,” at m., the subject will be \The Step.” The sendee will be ev angelistic and Mr. Meredith and the •pfecial chorus will sing. This has been the beet week of the Evangelistic service ut the M. EL Church. Large and growing congrega tions have attended each night. The meetings have about them an atmos phere of cheer and freedom that is very attractive. The young people’s meeting filled the auditorium Sunday afternoon and many decided- for Christ. The Sunday evening meeting also was crowded and was most impressive. The meetings will close with a men’s meeting Sunday, at 3:30 p. m. in Sig- mond’e Opera House, the evangelistic service Sunday evening in the church and a great closing jubilee Monday ev ening.

Similarly, who can be surprised that the man who divorced his lawful wife to marry an actress, and did it with a brazenness and effrontery that shocked a whole world, should be found unfit to continue as president'of the largest conjuration m the United States?

Dear Bill:— , In reply to yours of last week will state that I will try to keep you posted | and first! When the newspaper men wished to learn something about the James A. Farrell, who is to be the president of | the United States Steel Corporation, they searched in vain amongst the books of reference that are usually club news and as I am going to keep l'rst consulted. Hardly a man on Wall for the coming year, and which amount the Trustees were requested to place in the budget for the coming year: 1000 feet hose Repairs to buildings Supplies Horse Hire Janitors Repairs to apparatus Interest and Bond Incidental expenses a diary the task may be easy after all. To begin with, all the committees for the new year have been appointed and they certainly look like a good bunch. I actually think the Tourna ment Committee is going to start something besides bowling, but then we can’t kick about our bowling team. $i250.00 ■ They cleaned up the bunch from the 400 00 west and made the Amityville crowd sit up and take notice. There is some talk of forming another team and I think Dan would be one of them if it wasn’t for the fact that every night be 250.00 600.00 200.00 200.00 700.00 400.00 street had ever heard of him. He was unknown in the flub world, the sport ing world and the social world. It is very significant that it was to the rector of the parish in which Mr. Farrell resides, that the reporters went to learn something of this unobtrusive, level-headed, successful man. And it is even more significant that his rector, Rev. David J. Hickey, of St. Francis Xavier’s, was able to affirm that he knew his parishioner well as a devout churchman.

The Brooklyn Eagle\ published re cently the following article about Mrs. Eliza Ashdown, mother of Henry and Frank Ashdown of this village: The eightieth birthday of Mrs. Eliza Ashdown was well remembered by her many friends here (Hempstead) on Sunday last. “ Eighty years young” was the manner in which the Rev. W. H. Burgwin extended hia congratula tions to Mrju Ashdown, after services on Sunday morning. v For about s'xty years Mrs. Ashdown has attended the Methodist Church and has beeen an earnest and regular mem ber. Born in England, Mrs. Ashdown came to Uniondale in 1855 as a young mat ron, with her husband, the late John, Ashdown, who d.eii about six years ago at the age of 92 years. The another of fivechildien, Mrs. Emily Newman, Ed ward Aslvlo ami ai d Alfred Ashdown of Hempstead, and Henry and Frank Ash down of Frefeport, she is the happy grandmother of twenty-three grand children and twenty great-grandchild ren. For over a half century Mr. and Mrs. Ashdown lived in Uniondale. the latter com mg to Hempstead on the death of her husband. As the evangelistic leader of the Hempstead W. C. T. U., Mrs. Ash down is greatly interested in the cause ot .temperance, and it is inspiring to l^ten to her prayers for the cause. Mrs. Ashdown is still active, despite her advanced age, in chnrch work. She is much beloved ard received about forty post cards with greetings for , , .... . , many happy birthdays to come. Flow- aPeak and Mr. Meredith and a male The service of reading and song, en titled “ The Story of a Pink Rose” , wat. very successfully rendered in the M. ; E. Church Friday night, to a large and interested-audience. The service was! under the direction of Mr. I. H. Mere dith of New York, who has been lead-, ing the singing for the past week, at j the evangelistic services being held in the church. Miss Florence Stiles read the story with a great deal of feeling, i The story was of the conversion of a young girl in the slums of New York. ' It being so beautifully rendered by the ' choir and Mr. Meredith and so feeling-! ly by Miss Stiles, will leave a lasting impression on those who heard it. Many of those in attendance brought either a pink rose or pink carnation, and twenty-five dozen of carnations and several dozen of roses were thus collected. After the services, anyone in the audience who knew of a person, aged, sick or for some reason not pres ent at the meeting, and to whom a present of one of the flowers would be appreciated, he or she took one of them and gave it to the person as a remem brance from the church. Hundreds of them were distributed thus among those absentees neediner comfort. and the Board will haye their hands full, “ believe me.’'' Last night the boys chipped in with the cubs from Rockville Centre and chartered a train to take both teams to the village of the insane to bowl a match, but 1 am so tired I will have to wait until next week to tell you about it. Looks as though we were going to have grape juice at the Chib House; getting real sporty, ain’t we?
