handsome EdIflcs Dedicated.

The new eighty thousand dollar
Methodist church was dedicated at
Campbellsville last Sunday, DR.. ii. @.
Morrison, President Of Asburry Col
Iege, delivering the sermon. The
building is estimated to have a capac-
ity of two thousand people, including
the side rooms, and all available space
was taken, and standing room was in
demand. The interior of the building
is most attractive in artistic splendor
and the arrangement of all the de-
partments are perfect and convenient.
After DR.. Morrison had closedI his
very interesting discourse he announc-
ed that there was a collection of
twenty-five thousand dollars to be
taken before he could proceed with
the dedicatory ceremonies Clerks
were called and in about fifty minutes
the amount was raised To raise such
a large sum in so few minutes was
certainly credit to Csmpbellsville
and Taylor county. The amount be-
ing raised, Mr.. Henry Parrott present

We venture the assertion that there
is not a town in Kentucky outside of
Louisville and Lexington that is
adorned with as many handsome
church edifces as is Campellsville.
The Baptist and Christian Churches
have attractive and costly buildings,
only recently erected. The PreSby-
terian church was built many years
ago. 1t is not so large, but the inter-
ior is very attractive. Campbellsville
has right to boast of her church ed
fees, and the Christian spirit mani
tested in the community is not eclipsed
by any town in Kentucky.

DEPLORABLE DEATH.
Mr.. J. 7. Goodman. a Former
Resident Dies al Colorado
Springs, COIO., Thursday
Morning.
WENT WEST TO REGAIN HEALTH.

The intelligence Of the death of
Mr.. J. T. Goodman, former highly
respected citizen, reached here by
wire last Thursday afternoon. 1t wasl
a sad blow to many friends, as the de-
ceased was highly respectable and
man who had many friends and no
enemies.
He was a resident Of this place for
five or six years, and If he had an en-
emy in the town or county We never.
knew it.
His health commenced to fail about
three years ago, and about two years.
ago he went out West, hoping that
change Of climate would be beneficial
to his wasting constitution. At times
he wrote that he was feeling better,
but in reality there was no permanent
benefit. and he gradually went down.
until the final dissolution
Mr.. Goodman, If we are correctly in
formed, was native of Fountain RuB,I
Monroe county, and was son Of a
Methodist preacher, Mr.. ]. A. Good
man, who died in Columbia about
three years ago. The deceased was
reared in the ,same' faith, and was al
devout member of the Church of-thisI
place up TO the time he went West.
and it is likely he never removed his
membership. He was an officer Of the
congregation and liberal giver in eV-
cry cause having for its object the adj
vancement of Christianity. He was
instrumental in raising quite sum
Of the Centenary fund. 4
The deceased was not only popular
in Adam county, but on Cumberland
river, Russell county, where he was
married to Miss Efis McFarland,I
daughter of the late John Mcfarland,
and where he resided for number of
years, he was unusually popular. he
was Democrat in principle and a
few years ago he made the race for
sheriff in that county, which is large
ly Republican, and his personal pop
ularity reduced the dominant party's
majority, many Republicans voting
for him. sa'.-.
The deceased was Jealous Mason,
a member Of Columbia Lodge, No. 96,
and Columbia Chapter No. I, he had
held responsible positions in each in
stitutions, and his pocket-book was
open when the call for charity came
He was also a Modern Woodman.
He will be sadly missed by the frater
nifty.
Mr.. Goodman is survived by his
wife, son, Raymond, and mother, the
son is by former wife, who died in
his infancy. 1t. is serious loss tc
part with man who was as usefu
and who possessed the many good
qualities as did Mr.. Goodman, but
God knows best, and our advice to tht
surviving members of the family is tt
become reconciled, and live so as t
meet him in better world.
y During the years he resided in Co
lumbia he was friend to every bod.
and every body was his friend.
