This is the last one. Macomb Letter. Macomb, June 18 (year ??)---The 8th annual meeting of the Pioneer Society was held here on the 13th inst. At an early hour the old pioneers commenced to arrive, and at 11 a.m. the clouds which had threatened rain broke loose, but the church was soon filled. President EWELL called the meeting to order and singing by the Macomb choir, led by J.C. CADY. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. M. GORDON, followed by an appropriate address of welcome by P.M. BENTLEY. The response was then given by Rev. J. RUSSELL, in one of his happy moods, alluding to the few old pioneers left that held up his hands. When but a boy trying to preach the gospel here nearly 50 years ago and of their generosity, when Rev. GORDON added that in those days that a request was generally made at quarterly meetings to the P.E. Elder to send them just as many lodgers as there were planks in the floor. Then the report of the Secretary and Treasurer was read and a committee appointed to present names for suitable officers for the coming year, consisting of PHILLIPS, CADY, PEARSALL, BENTLEY, KEELER. Meeting adjourned until 1p.m. A suitable grove had been prepared for speaking and the basket picnic, which was too damp to be occupied, so the church, Gass' Hall, and the houses near, were made ready for the accommodation of dinner. Meeting was called to order at 1 p.m. when the church was soon filled, almost to suffocation, and a goodly number of singers were in their places. T.R. GASS, J.C. CADY, Neil REID, J. CARL, Mrs. CASTLE, Miss GORDON, Lena DAVIS and C. BENTLEY. The committee then reported the following officers: for President, S.H. EWELL; for Secretary, James LAWSON; for treasurer, Allen PEARSALL; which was accepted and adopted. Then came the annual address of President EWELL, which was highly commended. Then a solo was rendered by N. REID, followed by an address of Col. KEELER giving some true definition of what constituted a pioneer. Then C. DAVIS gave a brief history of the place in which the people were assembled. Oran FREEMAN then mounted the rostrum and related an incident of by gone days, how he cheated Bro. RUSSELL out of five dollars and hoped the time would come when he would be able to restore it to him, which brought out one or two amens. L.B. DAVIS followed with some remarks and a song entitled "Just Fifty Years Ago." As soon as thought Niles GIDDINGS was on his feet and gave an eye opener of "Who Killed the Bear?" which was received by general outburst of applause. Then followed well chosen remarks by Mrs. L.S. CHAPIN, Loren ANDRUS, J. LAWSON, N. REED, N.H. MILLER and J. VanHOSEN. Then followed another song by N. REED. Then Dr. DOUGLAS also gave a history of how his father and mother entertained the first Baptist preacher in Troy, (Bro. Booth), and how Jim and John got frightened by the cry of an 'howl', followed by J. ALEXANDER, how he made his first financial start out of the raging canal at Utica. Then ex-Judge ELDRIDE, who was unable to be here. (His History of Macomb was read by P.M.BENTLEY.) The Secretary then read the minutes, and found that more money had been received from dues than ever before at one meeting, enough to pay up all claims and leaving a surplus in the hands of the Treasurer. Meeting then adjourned and a general hand shaking followed, and all seemed loth to leave until a heavy shower of rain drove them homeward. We omitted to say anything about the singing, but when the readers see who they were it is a guarantee that is was hard to beat. Had the day been pleasant it would have been the most successful gathering of the kind ever held in the county. Rev. S.E. WARNER preached his third sermon, of yesterday, here last night. Although the weather was away up in the nineties still a large congregation were out to hear him. His health is much improved.
