Farm Implements
ShoWered on Brown

Paying a tribute to the long continued
friendship with which they hold him the
postoffice employees yesterday showered
upon William ]. Brown, for twenty six
years in the postal service here a van
load OF farming implements, wire fencing
and other needed accessories. Standing
on the rear steps of the federal building,
Postmaster Wharton, acting as spokes-
man for the employees, paid a marked
tribute to Mr.. Brown and wished him
Godspeed in his new undertaking. He
eloquently eulogized the life Of Brown
and said that all of his friends parted
with him with the sincerest regret. Con-
cluding, the postmaster handed him a
receipt for the gifts. Brown, visibly af-
fected, thanked those who spoke their
appreciation in better way than words.
The women employees gave Brown a
shower of garden implements in connec-
ton with pink tea A large straw
hat to be worn under the southern sun
with ribbons floating from it was one Of
the most unique Of the collection he takes
with him. Toy garden rake, hoe and
shovel was a nifty outfit stacked near
his seat. He has purchased a small
farm near Jacksonville, Fla. where he
intends to make his future home.
