Richmond's Little Symphony Or chestra as the second number of this winter’s lyceurn course pleased a large audience Tuesday evening in the orphanage chapel.

SPENT SUNDAY IN YORK Dr. Dudley Jones and son, Dudley, spent the week-end in York, where he preached for the congregation of the First Presbyterian church both morn ing and evening. This church, one of the largest in the Synod, is now with out a pastor following the recent re- . aiyaatiop of Dr. Gillespie. The writer does not mean to cen sure or criticise any one, nor does he mean to offer any suggestions that would not be good practice in business, but it did seem that Armis tice Day in Clinton was a rather tame affair, compared with that of six years ago, when all the town was in an uproar of joy over the fact that peace had been declared. One would not have known that it was a day of any significance, that it was a day any different from any of the other three hundred and sixty-four days of the year, if he had not looked at the papers or had occasion to go to one of the banks. They were the only places which closed or even paused for a moment during the day, to give thought ol what this day means in history apd to man who did his bit. It makes even the poorest feeling ex-service man wonder if his services for what he thought right, are appre ciated and if the joy expressed by the non-combatants at the signing of the armistice yneant anything to those who servem It looks as if the public too soon forgets a thing of this kind and that we are prone to let it pass into oblivion for forty years or more, and then try to show what we think of it. The writer hopes that next year some one will take the initiative and put Armistice day over the top in great style, for he cannot help but feel that in this way, a great number of ex-seFvice men will feel better for What they tried to do in the great World War, and that it will also keep this great day in the minds of all. “CITIZEN.” li I! !
