Union services were held in the First Methodist Chburch and Rev. S. L. Morris preached an appro priate sermon for the occasion that had summoned the members of the Methodist and Baptist con gregations to worship together. One of the features of the occas ion was a free will offering for the benefit of the poor and needy,and the sum of $60 was realized. Quite a number of the citizens went to neighboring towns and cities to enjoy the day with rela tives and friends, and partake of the customary Thanksgiving re past.
