EASTER DAY,
ITS ORIGIN.
Next Sunday a Sort Of
Parade Day With Fair
Sex.
A FLOWER DAY.
Churches of the City Will
Have Special Services
That Day.

Easter Sunday comes unusually
early this year, falling on the 31st
of March. The day will be observed
at most, if not all the local churches.
Some of them will decorate and the
ministers prepare sermons appro-
pirate to the day. There will also
be special music by the choirs. so
far as reported the Methodists,
Episcopalians and the First Presby-
terian churches will observe the day.
Though many ladies have already
purchased their spring hats the
milliners will be kept busy during the
week up to a late hour Saturday
night decking out their customers
in new headware. The demand for
hot-house flowers will also be
heavy.
Last Sunday which was Palm Sun
day, was a beautiful day and should
next Sunday be what is hoped for.
it will be a sort of parade day with
the fair sex. The seamstresses are
all rushed making spring dresses,
and of course everything must be
ready for Easter.
There is no authority for Easter
J being derived from Esther. Easter
corresponds with Passover of the
Jews, and as festival observed in
the Christian church from early
times in commemoration of the res
direction of Jesus Christ.
1t is probable that Easter received
its name from the Saxon goddess
Eastre, whose festival was kept
about the same season each year as
Easter.
In the ancient church the celebra-
ton of Easter lasted eight days, but
in later times it was limited to two
or three days. It used to be a
festival Of pleasure as well as a time
for generosity and the performing
of good deeds. Aims were given to
the needy, the sick were visited by
the rich and the great, and often
slaves were freed and poor, unfor-
tunates suffering Imprisonment lib
Grated. Services were held during
the whole week preceding Easter
Sunday, on which day people greeted
each other with kisses, saying; He
is risen!" the response always being:
"He is risen, indeed" In the Greek
Church this custom is still observed,
The custom of exchanging eggs on

Easter Day is always the first Sun

which date is the beginning of the
old church year.

FATHER OF
I5 CHILDREN.
Brief History of the Once
Famous Brown Fam
lily.
THE TEN BROTHERS.
An Incident of an An Anti
Bellum County
Fair.

The Brown family was one of the
largest, if not the largest, families
ever raised in Christian county and
its history is quite interesting.
Early in the past century Thomas
Brown, who had fought under Jack
son, came to Christian county, where
he remained the balance of his days.
He married and his wife bore him
fifteen children, three of them dying
in infancy. The two daughters and
ten sons were raised to womanhood
and manhood and those who have
passed away lived to ripe old age
There are now four of the family
living, namely: Mrs. Allcock, of
Mayfield; Mrs. Jerome Cason, of
this city; Mr.. Sam Brown, also Of
this city, and Judge M. D. Brown, of
Madisonville. Mrs. Allcock is the
oldest of the family and is now in
her 91st year.
The men were all great lovers of
horse flesh, and what they didn't
know about horses very few could
tell them. Their opinions were al
ways worth something to a green
purchaser.
The ten sons always had fine
animals of their own and were grac-
full riders. Many of our citizens
well remember the day at one of the
county fairs when "The Ten Brown
Brothers" appeared in the amphi
theatre, riding their fine horses
the best rider to receive a silver cup
M. D. Brown, the youngest, won the
prize. 1t was a proud day fol
their aged mother. She was, after
great persuasion by the the directors
induced to enter the ring, wher
the President made speech anC
also gave her a silver cup. 1t wa
the chief feature Of that day anC
an ovation for the proud mother
Perfect masters of the horses a.
the Brown Brothers were, three o.
them lost their lives by their animals
One of them, it is said, miraculous
! ly escaped being seriously injured
| if not killed, on the day they rode
at the fair. The horse he was rid
ing reared and fell backward, but
his rider, seeing his danger, jumped
from his saddle to one side. Whel
the horse got on his feet again the
rider was on his back instantly and
the parade by twos around the ring
went on.
One Of the brothers was kicked by
a horse in the side and died shortly
after. That was in 1859. Another
was riding a mustang pony, and be-
ing a great smoker, filled his pipe
and struck match on the skirt of
his saddle. At the pop of the
match the mustang took fright and
threw his rider some distance, break
ing his neck. This occurred in Graves
county, this State. The third who
met with violent death was living
at or near Ashville, Ind. He was
driving heavily loaded wagon.
How it was done has never been
known, but in someway he fellIto the
ground at the horses heels and the
weels of the wagon passed over him
and crushed out his life.
When the father Of the Brown Bros
came from Virginia here he
opened up a general blacksmith
shop. Smiths were scarce in thos,
days and Mr.. Brown, being a gooC
workman, he had all that he coulC
! do. He accumu,a ed property rapid
