Committee on Arrangements
Granville Brown, HaIleck; Edward
Brown, Gladesville; j .Slidell Brown,
Kingwood.
On motion, it was ordered that
the Association hold an Annual
Reunion on the second Saturday in
September.
It was decided to hold the next
meeting at Gladesville, second Sat-
urday In September, 1896.
A committee of four was APP
pointed to look after the graves OF
the old members of the family
buried on the old place and have
them suitably marked and perhaps
moved. The following committee
Was selected: VIM. II. Brown, Ash
ford Brown, Jr., j. s. Brown and
Robert Brown.
| Five Browns from the railroad
missed the conveyance that was to
be sent after them, and determined
to be there, they walked eight miles,
arriving just in time for dinner.
On motion, rising vote of thanks
was rendered them for their grit in
getting there.
The Association then formally
adjourned after short speech from
the new President, and everyone
present promised to come again
next year, if alive and able.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
| All three of the Vice Presidents
are named William, which seems to
be popular name in the family.
1AnI
| About the second oldest man
present was William Cartwright, of
Stewardstown. He was accom- pan
led by his sister, Mrs. Marinda Dar-
ling.
gRHH
Gladesville was agreed upon for
a place of meeting, because it is
rather central point and great
place for picnics. It is not far
from the railroad and accessible
for most of the family.
About the jolliest man present
was Eugene Lanham, and although
he is not Brown, as he remarked,
he is considerably mixed up with
the family by marriage. And by
the way, he makes splendid and
efficient presiding officer.
apH
The Oldest man present was Col
Tom Protzman. from Eastom, Mo-
mongolia county, 81 years of age,
and as hearty as lots of men Of half
his years. He is certainly q re-
markably well preserved man and
ought easily pass the century mark
How we would like to see a re-
union of the whole Brown Family.
1t is said that when the Lord was
naming the people of the earth, he
got about half through, and be-
coming tired of the job, said,
"Well, just call all the rest Brown"
This accounts for there being so
many OF them.
IHH
The Browns were strictly in il
: that day and out in full force. The
only family they take a back seat
for in respect to quantity, is the
ubiquitous and universal Smith
Family, and in point of quality they
don't retire for any one. The Lord
, certainly does love the Browns, or
he would never have made so many
Of them.

Mr.. Valentine Smith, q farmer living in
this county, whose post Office address is
Pittsfield, Ill, for the good OF humanity in
general, and especially for the beneft of
any who may be afflicted as he was, wishes
to make the following statement with ref
erence to the great beuetit he has received
from using DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People:
His statement is as follows: "About O
year ago l was living in the Mississippi bot
tom near the river, and l had become very
much broker in health, suffering greatly
from a distension or hardening of the lower
part of the abdomen or bowels, besides be-
ing troubled with my kidneys and other
complications which rendered my case, as l
had supposed. almost hopeless. Ihad been
in this condition, although, of course, not
as bad as l was a year ago, for something
over six years, and had about given up all
hope of ever being a well man again, when,
by the many testimonials and advertise
ments l had read with reference to the
wonderful cures perfected by DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People 1 was il
duced to give them 4 trial. After taking
two boxes l began to feel greatly relieved,
and by the time l had used up five or six
boxes l was completely cured and have
been, comparatively speaking, a well man
ever since. During all the time that 1 was
suffering with this dreadful disease, which
1 am unable to name, 1 passed many sleep
less nights and was in great distress almost
continually and was able to do but little
work. Now l sleep and eat well, and al
though l I'm sixty-one years of age, l am
able to do a good days work on the farm,
having put in and tended eight acres of
corn this season, besides doing a large
amount of other work on the farm. In
short, I think your medicine Il great bless
ing to humanity, and can ch~eerfully recon-
mend it to all suffering as l was. had been
in this condition six or seven years and had
given everything l could hear of. doctors
included, Il fair trial, but could get no relief.
