Chatham's Poor-Money to Churches.


Tho benevolence of Superintendent of
Insurance Louis +. Payn is much appre.
ciated by the people of Chatham, n. Y.
where he has always lived Potatoes were
selling sre recently at so cents bushel
A few days ago q local dealer In this prod
uct accosted superintendent Payn in the
village barber shop where he was being
shaved and asked him TO purchase some
of his potatoes Mr.. Payn replied that his
brother attended 10 such matters and re-
lapsed into silence. Suddenly. however,
he rose in his chair and remarked:
Il suppose there are many poor people
In this place who have no potatoes and
have no way 70 get any. You may book
me for 200 bushels How much is the
bill?"
The astonished dealer finally found his
tongue and informed the superintendent
that the bill would be $160.
Very well. said Mr.. Payn. Come
down to my residence and will give you
q check 4"
The next day the dealer visited Mr..
Payn and received instructions to deliver
the potatoes TO the persons designated by
the committees appointed by each Of the
local churches. His wishes were carried
out to the letter, and 40 Of Chatham's poor
families received five bushels each of the
| potatoes.

| also feeling grateful to Mr.. Payn. Not
long ago the colored people began the con-
| struction of house of worship and Mr.
Payn was appealed to for financial aid
| He contributed 500, and promised to Sc
cure $500 more from other sources In
view of his generosity the colored people
have named their church "Payn's African

| n. "" and all express themselves as be-
| ing proud of the name.
The ST. James society of this place Is
also building a church and toward the
erection of that structure Mr.. Payn has
contributed 800 and about $50 worth
of sand to be used in making the mortar.
