According to announcement the funer-
al services of the late James Spillman
were held in the court house yard Sun
day afternoon at o'clock The yard
was thronged with friends of the deceased
and his family from all parts of the

Quoted the funeral services. The choir
was composed of portions of the Method

and after singing hymn appropriate to
the occasion, Judge Culver delivered

about half an hour, and was listened 10
with rapt attention. The speaker allud
ed to the unfortunate death of the de-
ceased, gave a history of his life, and
mentioned by name the members of his
bereaved family. He then paid a
glowing tribute to the kind
illness of heart and good qualities
of Mr.. Spillman, feelingly abiding to
the high esteem in which he was held
by all with whom he came in contact.
He closed his address by setting forth
the advantages of a Christlike life,
which not only fitted one for death, but
made life better and a grander sue
cess.
The body was then removed to the
hearse, J. G. Traylor, w. ]. Jones. D.
w. Eastman, T. N. Sedgwick, w. F.
Ewing and L. B. Kellogg acting as
ball bearers. The procession to Maple

So large funeral has never before been
in Emporia. At the grave the funeral SER
vice of the Methodist church was read
and all of mortal which remained of
James Spiilman was sadly laid to rest.

IMPORTANT TO DISCIPLES


The following circular letter is being
sent to the various Churches of Christ
throughout the country:
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 18, 1881.
To the Church Of Christ at EmpOria,
Kdns.
Beloved Brethren: In harmony with
the suggestions from brethren outside of
Washington, we make this appeal. So
far toward the erection of q suitable
house of worship in this city we have
$16, 700. It is our desire to build such a
house as will accommodate our increas-
ing congregations and fairly represent
our brotherhood at the capital of the
nation. To do this not less than twenty
thousand dollars more is needed.
The President is q regular and devout
worshIpper with US. The church
the President attends is the
church of the strangers visiting
Washington from all parts of
our country from foreign lands, and thus
we have large opportunities TO present
the Gospel 10 the people. In the provi-
dence of God, the President has Just
been delivered from the very gates of
death. It was the purpose of the assas-
sin to strike him while worshipping in
the house of God. We would give an
ofer1ng oil IhaDkS Tor MS QelIverance,
and commemorate Gods signal mercy
in the. escape of our brother from the as
sassin's blow, by the erection of house
of worship In Washington, TO be known
as 1.-THE Memorial Christian Church. y
Will you JON us in this effort, and at
your meeting the second Lords day in
August, or your first regular meeting
hereafter, take such subscriptions and
collections as the people may be willing
to give? Your brethren in Christ
