Dead Holy Roller Fails On
Promise.

Lexington, KY, July @.-
Hundreds of "holy rollers in
Garrard and neighboring Ken
tuckey counties are bitterly dis
appointed today. Andrew Sing
Teton, until three months ago one
of their most dependable members
has failed to keep his word. 1t
was probably not singleton's
fault, but that will never be known
for certain.
Three months ago Singleton
died, Before he died he called
his faithful wife, impaired to her
news of his impending passing
and told her he was coming back.
He exacted a promise from Mrs.
Singleton, with other "rollerS'
standing by more or less awe
stricken, that she would, as soon
as three months had expired, have
his body exhumed.
This done, the dying man told
his wife and the other rollers that
he would arise from his coffin and
walk.
The three months went by and
Mrs. Singleton kept her word
Calls went out to "holy rollers
within a wide area and all who
could went to the cemetery
Husky members placed shove
and pick, The coffin was reveal
ed. There was certainly no sign
of life there. The coffin was
opened and it was also quickly
closed.
Many Of the rollers now believe
Singleton will appear from thu
spirit world.

uncle, that the other animal girls
haven't been calling Beckie names,
or making fun of her sosshe doesn't

must have happened, or Beckie would

Mr. Longears watched a little

Beckie playing. running, laughing
or rolling hoops with the other ami

continue to be much travel, for oc-
