No 20--UNION CHAPEL DEDICATED--The new church recently completed at Old Log Chapel, Howard county, and which will be known as Union Chapel, was dedicated last Sunday, the sermon being preached by the Rev. Edgar Richmond of Moberly. It had been hoped to secure the services of the Rev. A. N. Lindsey of Clinton, but at the last moment he sent word it would be impossible for him to be present, when Rev. Richmond was secured in his stead. Notwithstanding the fact that the latter had scarcely any time to prepare for the occasion, the sermon was all that could be desired and was thoroughly enjoyed by the big crowd. Following the services it was announced that an indebtedness of $1200 was still owing on the building, and the crowd was asked to come across with the amount which it did after quite a bit of soliciting. A big basket dinner was then served, and when final adjournment was had all felt it was a day well spent. Kathy Bowlin, Additions, corrections, comments welcome
