on Tuesday

" 1. REPRESENTATIVE of the
Press called on Simon J. Eby,
one of our most highly re-
I spected citizens, on the oc-casion
of his eightieth"birthday on Tues-day.
His words of response to the in-quiry
regarding his health were, "I am
happy and today I leave the seventies
behind." Mr. Eby is loved by all who
know him for his genial disposition and
sympathetic interest in all of his friends
and for his sterling- Christian character.
He has been restored, to reasonable
health after a prolonged illness which
took him from active work in the local
post office several months ago.
Mr. Eby' is in full-possession of ¦ all of
his faculties and can discuss with intel-ligent
accuracy the events of the days
gone by. He was not a soldier' in the
Civil War for , tho drafted, he was able
to furnish a substitute. He spoke on
Tuesday of the many changes in the
attitude of the public on moral and
educational questions. -He spoke of the
day when the "three R's" embraced
about all of one's education in the
schools, whereas nowadays the children
carry home each night more books than
a child would own then, in years. The
best wishes of a host of friends are ex-tended
to Mr. Eby in honor of his arriv-al
at the fourscore mark and may he
rest assured that his life today, tho not
as active as in former years, is not
without its influence for good.

o'clock. ?Every boy •; over 12 years of
age was present. Dr. Hall spoke to the
boys on the "Secret of- Manhood" and
held before them the lives of such real
men as David and Washington. He has
a way peculiar to himself of presenting
vital, personal truths to boys in such a
manner as, to deeply impress the lesson
he desires to teach.

address * one which he drew before his
audience. The plain truths were pre-sented
in a most effective way by this

abated, ignorance . dissipated arid the
young men were kindly but firmly
warned of the perils and exhorted to
rise to the highest realization of their
God-given manhood and live lives that

Dr. Hall left at 9.25 for Hamsbiirg
