A New and Handsome Ediflce Was
Built to Replace II.

The church at Sandy Hill where the
Goshen Association met last week, is one
of the oldest Baptist organizations in
Meade county.
The original edifce was built in 1871,
not long after the organization and the
new house Of worship was erected eight

the pews and furnishings are up-to.date
in every particular.

wife are the only surviving charter men,
bers OF the organization.
Mr.. Hendrick is ~ years old and his
wife 81. They have raised eleven chill
dren Of their own and two orphans. Three

and wife, Elizabeth Ashcraft, James
Ashcraft and Mary Powell became iden-
titled with the church.
The constitution of the church was

tine work of an incendiary. The church
was rebuilt in 1919 aud the present
church in 1889.
The Rev. ID. Dowden, famous preach
err was pastor for 2S years.
Mrs. Hendrick, one of the original

throughout this and adjoining counties
where ever we find old pupils of theirs
We hear expressions Of love for them,
and the highest praise for their work
both from patrons and pupils. Seldom
if ever, is such love and esteem found for
teachers as their old pupils have for Prof.
Crabb and his good wife. One thing is
sure where ever they have an old pupil,
there they have firm friend and one
who is loud in their praise. This I'M
doubtedly speaks volumes, and the cause
OF education will be greatly injured if
our people do not rally to the support of
their school. II we keep them in our
midst then we can educate our sons and
daughters at home and be assured that
they will be we'll educated. Their course
is iull and their pupils will receive the
best instruction in all departments Let
us all make it our special object to
build up and keep this school in our
midst, and our children, and children's
children will rise up to call us blessed

VETERAN HOTEL MAN.
Stinnett's Tavern Was Famous Re-
sort In OIden Days.

Before the advent OF the railroad and
when travel by stage-coach between
Louisville and greensboro was in the
heyday Of its glory Robert Stinnett, who
now lives near Lewisport, was one OF the
most popular hotel men on the route,
He kept a caravanserY at Hardinsbure
twenty-six years ago. The tavern was
the old frame structure near the market
house and it was at this point that the
relays of horses were made.
The motive power for each coach was
four good horses. One of the drivers OF
the stage coaches we'll known to our
people was Cub Howard.
Mr.. Stinnett is now 81 years OF age but
his hale and hearty appearance actually
gives him the bloom Of youth.

\ TOUCH OF WINTER .

Yesterday was a real old fash.
Toned winter day with sleet and
snow and strong north wind.
Business was light, and the ten.
dency towards winter sports seemed
to pervzdc the air. Beginning with
light snow ball skirmishes, the fun
thickened and grew apace until a
crowd Of young ladies and gentle
men attended by chaperono ap.
peared on the scene with baskets of
snow and catching unwary friends
treated them TO a face washing and
shampoo. Dodging and locks and
bars afforded no protection from the
athletic young fellows who went
through doors aud windows for
their game. The victims joined
the procession and very few
marked for the fun escaped. The
crowd went home at noon having
mos, thoroughly enjoyed a morn
ing in the snow.
