MOONSHINE STILL RE.
PORTED IN CRITTENDEN {!

Crittenden county has acquired
the distinction Of having q "real"
moonshine still. Some Of the boys
of Tolu were hunting a few days ago
and found fully equipped still in the
woods on the farm Of Mr.. John L.
Franklin. Some one had taken with
out Mr.. Franklin's knowledge or con-
sent, tank belonging to him and
used it in building the still, which has
a sixteen gallon capacity.
Mr.. Franklin immediately notified
the United States revenue authorities
Of his find, and to preserve the still
moved it into his cellar, where it will
be safely kept until an investigation
has been made.
The tank was about one-half full
Of meal which evidenced the fact
that it had been tested and used.

The Crittenden press., 1920-08-13
My Dear Brother Trotter:

Having been appointed by the
First Baptist Church to reply to you
in offering your resignation as pas
tor and shepherd oyer us, hereby
acknowledge my inability to express
by either words or actions my feel
ings or the feelings of the member
ship as a whole of our .church.
To you we have looked as our lead
er, and we have never looked in vain,
for we have never at any time gone
to you for advise but you gave it,
whether in joy or trouble, in pros
perity or adversely, and with that
pure and noble spirit which charac-
terizes true christian leader you
have indeed led u.s.. Led US to a high
er standard of christian duty, to a
broader vision Of service to the Mas
ter and better understanding of
the great doctrines of grace, fellow
ship, baptism, Christ's second COM
ing and the observance Of the Lords
Supper. These are the peculiar
marks Of true Missionary Baptist.
All this you have done and many
things too numerous to even try to
mention, but not alone.
When Almighty God had reached
the climax Of His creation and made
man, He saw that even the greatest
Of all His work that man needed help,
and He made him helpmeet; and
al! that you have done, and all that
you are, you have had the helpmate
that God gave you, in a true christ
ian wife, one in whom are all the
noble qualities that 90 to make q
pastors wife.
Now we as church believe in the
Divine call to the ministry, we also
believe in the Divine call to the par
ticular field Of labor, therefore; il
you feel that God has called you to
another field, we can but yield to
His will.
We know that it i. not from mers
cenary motives that you 60 from US;
for the monetary compensation that
you will receive there is no more
than you are receiving here. though
should It be, you would only have to
give the least intimation and your
salary here would be whatever you
might suggest.
With this light Of faith beaming
upon us, We can only say as did
Gamaliel Of Peter and John, "And
now | say unto you, refrain from
these men, and let them alone; for
If this cousel or this work be Of men,
it will come to nought: but II Of
God. ye cannot overthrow it; lest
haply ye be found even to fight
against God"
Your christian character, excep-
tional gifts, scholarly attainments
and genial fellowship have won the
admiration Of all with whom you
have come in contact.
We therefore recognize that In
your going that not only our church
but the town, community and Ohio
River Association loses a man who
is valuable asset to any community.
We heartily commend Bro. Trotter
and his most excellent wife and low.
ing children to the First Baptist
Church Of Elizabethtown Kentucky,
and to the christian forces Of the
city and community and shall pray
for Gods richest blessings to &C.
company them.
Therefore wishing only to obey
His will, we unanimously accept your
resignation; "Not our will but Thy
will be done.
