PRIEST GRAFT IN ATLANTA,

Dear Sir: Here are some true and
undeniable facts: near me lives an
uncle, by marriage, named S. W.
Baptist church.
He had sister, a member of the
same church, who married a man
named Britt; after her marriage she
Joined the Catholic church. She died
in Augusta, Ca, and her brother, Mr..
S. w. Crawford had the body taken
to Atlanta, to be buried in the
family's burying-ground.
When the body arrived in Atlanta,
a priest named Kennedy, with some
members Of his church, asked to hold
services Mr.. Crawford asked them
to go to the burying- ground, about
six miles outside Atlanta, but the
priest said he couldn't go and asked
that he might have the services over
the body in Atlanta. Mr.. Crawford
consented The priest talked about
five minutes and the choir sang one
song, and the service was through.
Mr. Crawford and his friends
started for the burial place. Mr..
Crawford had a Methodist preacher
at the grave, and some of the Cath
olic members who had gone out with
the body got mad.
When Mr.. Crawford went to pay
Mr.. Pool, the undertaken, he found
the priest had left a bill for $500.
Mr.. Crawford wouldn't pay this, and
Mr.. Pool sent him word to come and
pay it, as the priest was pushing
him.
Mr.. Crawford went to Atlanta, and
asked Mr.. Pool what the charge Of
$500 was for, and Mr. Pool said the
priest said it was for the services of
the choir, and if it wasn't paid, it
would be put in the hands of a col
lector, so he paid it.
Yours truly,
