HIS UNKNOWN GOOD POINTS
Widow Found It Hard to Reconcile
Eulogy With Her knowledge OF
Dead Husband.

An old freshman who had made a
good deal Of money, but who wasn't
very particular about his habits or
conduct, lived in Chicago. His Gus.
tom was to go downtown about once
a month on a spree, and then come
back home and beat up his family and
break the furniture. His aged wife,
who had stood him for many years,
was blind.
Finally he died, and his children
gave him n fine funeral. They had
plenty Of money now that the old
man was dead, and so they spread
themselves. At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved in woe. She cried and
cried all through the services. paying
scant heed to what was going on un.
til the eulogy was pronounced. She
listened. The priest referred to the
dead man In glowing terms. After
about ten minutes Of this the aged
widow nudged her son and whispered:
Danny, do they be havin' two fu-
nerals here today?"-Saturday Eve.

Rev. Chas. Conner Brown Beloved Pas
tor OF The Local Presbyterian Church
Tenders Resignation And viii
Enter Evangilistic Field.

On last Sunday Rev. Charles Connor
Brown rendered his resignation to the
elders and trustees of the Presbyterian
church as their pastor, to take effect
on or about the 18th, day of Septem-
Der. Bro. Browns resignation will in
all probability be accepted though with
a feeling of the deepest regret. He
was designated by the late Presbytery
for evangelistic work in Eastern Ken
lucky and will have his headquarters in
Lexington, the principal field of his
labors being in and around Buckhorn.
Rev. Brown has been the pastor OF
the local church for six years, he has
been a jealous worker in the Masters
cause, and under his charge the church
has made splendid progress. He ha:
always been found at the front in al
religious and charitable work and ha!
endeared himself, not only to his owl
congregation, but to the entire com
munity, and it is with feeling of re
luctance upon the part of everyone t.
see him leave. He and his estimabl
family will be sadly missed in the com
munity and the well wishes of his hos
of friends and admirers will follow hin
to his new field.
