RECEPTION GIVEN FOR I. J. COE

The Sunday school of the Baptist church gave a reception at the parsonage Tuesday night in honor of the superintendent, I. J. Coe, principal of the high school, who will go to Chicago for future residence soon after school closes. In spite of the rain thirty-four were present and a very enjoyable evening was enjoyed by all. As a token of esteem and appreciation of his faithful services as superintendent for more than three years, the pastor, on behalf of the Bunday school, presented Mr. Coe a beautiful silver spoon. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. The happy company broke nip at 10:30 o’clock, saddened, however, by the fact and expressing regret of same, that Mr. Coe will so soon go from our midst.
