$4,000 to the fund which is being raised for the

That is a fact which has been known in this Sec
ton for some time, by a small circle, who have
kept it strictly private at the request of the person
in question, but think it would be cruel to hold

the Rev. Joseph Kicker, d. D., Of this city, for six
years the beloved pastor the First Baptist church
here, who has mace the handsome donation of

dowment fund. This comprises not quarter only,
