Peoples undertaking establishment, as to the amount the city should pay for the funeral of John Williams, who died last week, and Councilman WOIland did not say at the council meeting last night that there was any disagreement.

Many ecccntrlrities are pardoned in musical geuiuseS, especially by those who do not suffer from them. UnfOr- tuuately the object of a musician's wrath is quite apt to be unable to ap preciate why he has offended.
 One can fancy the possessor Of the untrained voice who figures in the fol- lowing story thinking hard things of the celebrated composer Rameau.
 One day Rameau while calling on q lady fixed stern glance on little dog who sat in her lap. and was barking good naturedly. Suddenly Rameau seized the poor little fellow and threw him out of the window.
 '"What is the matter" asked his hostess, much alarmed.
 "He parked false! said Rameau 'n- dignantly.

July 24:-On Sunday morning
at the regular preaching hour an
unusually large crowd gathered at
the Methodist church, to witness
the children's day exercise.
Hardly standing room was left,
many people standing and sitting
In the aisle.
On several occasions during che
past two weeks the ladies of the
con gregatio n have met at the
church to train the children, and
on the opening hour Sunday monr
ing they must have felt fully
paid for their time and labor. A
temporary platform had been
erected and fringing its borders
was a pretty collection of potted
flowers. The young ladies OF the
Sunday school who took part wore
white entirely, and while on the
platform made very pleasing
picture. The opening hymn
sung by the school accompanied
by Miss BERTHE Sale and Mr..
Oscar Lee on a oornet, received
much admiration. A pantomims
play of the hymn "Nearer my
God to Thee" was finely executed.
Much of the days success was
due. to the efforts of Mrs. George
Griener.

Unique Memorial to StonewaIl
Jackson

Thu religious instruction of the
colored people who lived In Lex
ingtOn during General Stonewall
Jackson's lifetime, was the con-
slant care and anxious solicitude
of this great man. He taught a
colored Sunday school, and was
always ready and willing to i'm
part to the colored people whole
some moral instruction. This has
borne fruit, as evidenced by the
action of one of Gen. Jackson 8
pupils, Rev. j. L.Downing,a color
ed Presbyterian minister, located
at Roanoke, Va, who at a pre-
Itinerary meeting held last Thurs
day evening, arranged for the
erection of a memorial window in
his church to the great soldier.
Rev. Downing is the pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Colored Presbyterian
church of Roanoke and was born
and reared in Lexington and spent
his young manhood here, He was
son of Eilburn Downing, who
was slave Ex-Governor James Nc.
DOwell. A newspaper report from
Roanoke in referring to the meet
ing, says:
The church was crowded, num-
Der of the most prominent ex-Con-
federates of the city were present
and Rev. W. c, Campbell, D. D.,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, occupied the pulpit with
the pastor, Rev. ]. L. Downing,
who is the moving spirit in the
matter.
The pastor said that from his
boyhood, when he attended the
colOred Sunday school in Lexing-
ton established by Jackson, it had
been his ambition to erect a memo.
rial to the great man who had |
done So much for him and the |
,olored race.
1t is proposed to erect a memo
nal window representing a tent
shaded by trees with a stream OF |
water running by it with the bare
and rugged rock like a stonewall,
