Tipperary. He tells a story about a
clergyman who was examining Sun

ask enc CT his small pupils why it was

ment. and then replied, What God has
joined let no man put asunder."

q nual banquet was given the night Of
Jan. 18th, to the men of the Christ

The speakers were:

The Courier Journal says:
Memories that are lined indisso-
lubiy with the Powell banquets of
the past were revived when Charles
M. Meacham, Mayor Of Hopkinsville
and editor Of the Hopkinsville Ken
! tuckian, spoke. 1t was just four
years ago that Mr. Meacham was
one Of the speakers at a Powell BAN
quet, and when he arose and sur
veyed his audience he remarked tina t
the same facial landscape" con.
fronted him after the passing Of four
years.
Mr.. Meacham was introduced by
DR.. Powell as an editor. Mayor, good
friend, capital entertainer and chick
en- culturist.
He went Back to Adam" in his
talk. He had a long distance to
travel. but he tripped over the high
places and arrived on time. 1t was
full Of bright things. Mr. Mea-
cham's speech follows:
Mr.. Toastmaster, Ladies and Cen
tlemen:
The ladies are not in evidence, but
where the rustic Of wings is heard,
the angels must be near. (Some |
ladies could be seen in adjoining |
rooms listening to the speeches.)

Banquet of DR.. b. l.. Powell,
Of Louisville, KY.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1907-01-24
A BRAVE MAN.

He was a man of undaunted cour-
age. He bravely faced danger in
every form. The woods were full of
wild beasts of every kind. Venom
Gus reptiles coiled their Shiny bodies
among the trees, while the waters
were swarming with crocodiles and
man-eating sharks, to say nothing OF
piesiosaurian and ichthyosaurian mon
sters too horrible tomention. Did
Adam hesitate? Not for an instant,
He bravely defed the dinosaur, the
megatherium and the pterodactyl,
and we next hear of him raising Cain
outside the reservation.
Adam was a man Of enterprise.
He began life without friends, with.
out capital and without the advan-
tage of family prestige, or the In
fuences Of distinguished connections.
But before he was a hundred wears
old he was recognized as the great
est, the wealthiest, the most learned
and the most eminent man of his
time. 1t is true that he was not as
Abel as one of his sons who died
young, but he was generally conced-
ed to be unusually well informed for
one who had never lived in a cifv
like Louisville nor had the advan-
] tages of a college education.
