although he had no sons himself,
and gave with more than his usual
liberality, but as the work pro-
gressed the plans were enlarged I'M
til the sum raised fell short of the
required amount. More than two
years ago this work was stopped and
Mr.. Brownell did not live to see the
building completed, Mr.. Brownell's
health was then beginning to fail
and no younger and more vigorous
man was found to take up the work
where he was forced to lay it down.
He was not only prominent in
public enterprises but in moral ques-
tions and church work he was ever a
leader. Prior to his marriage he
was affiliated with the Baptist church,
but subsequently joined the Metho-
dist church, the church of his wife
and father-in-law, the late Rev.
Thomas Bottomly, and his brother
in-law, Rev. E. w. Bottomly.
He leaves a widow and one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Ben S. Winfree, who was
formerly Miss Mary Jessie Brownell.
For many years Mr.. Brownell had
been president of the Crescent Mill
ing Co., which prospered greatly I'M
der his management, enabling him
to amass large fortune. This mill
was only few days ago consolidated
with similar enterprise and will
continue upon much larger scale.
Mr.. Brownell will long be remem-
bered as one of the best citizens
Hopkinsville ever had. To the day
of his death ne was held the highest
esteem by all those who knew him
best.

price of tobacco has been raised so
as to sufficiently compensate them
for their labor.
We desire that order and conf
dence be restored, for as the inter-
ests of the town and country are
mutual, one cannot suffer without
seriously affecting the other.

Never was there a speech better

Judge Wells was expected to make
an able speech, but the result far
exceeded the expectations of even
those supposed to know his limita-

Literary critics say that for grasp
