10 REV. PAYNE THERE. TOO.

Rev. Evans Payne, the dean of the
Baptist clergy of this city and one
of the most powerful divines in the
State preached Sunday might greatly
to his own satisfaction and to. the
qualification of all who heard him.
He is as vigorous and as emphatic
in the pulpit today as he was twenty
years ago. Some people of the city
incline to the opinion that he is i'm
proving along the ,oratorical lines
and that his bodily infirmities Meth
err affect his vocal organs nor his
mental ability. He wears the title OF
Doctor of Divinity with becoming
modesty, which is expressing 1t
mildly for the Church-Hill divine.

A UNIFIED CONGREGATION.

The congregation is one unified
whole and the fractional spirit once
predominant in the church has dis
appeared and its sincere friends hope
that it will never return. The i'm
provement in this neighborhood is
now apparent to any observer. The
exercises will continue not only all
of this week, but will extend through
the week following. Even Rev.
Randolph ". Peyton, D. D., the
former pastor, who was the idol Of
these people, came last Wednesday
night to take part in the exercises.
Rev. A. W. Brown has been COM
plimented and praised and while he
ascribes the work to God, the people
recognize the fact that he was par
tfcularly the chosen instrument of
the Most High.

A REMARKABLE CHURCH
LEADER.

Rev A. w. Brown has been a
marvel and a wonder ever since he
came to this city from the State of
South Carolina. He has gone from
one degree of success to another.
He has fitted in snugly as the pastor
of this celebrated church and at no
time is there room to spare during
his periods of fervid oratory, which
have become known from one section
of the city to another. His analysis
of his texS, the simplicity Of his
manner, his devoutness in private
life and his championship Of right
and right living over wrong and
wrong doing have won place in the
hearts of the people here second only
to that Of the celebrated Rev. John
Jasper, whose place he now fills.

 Personality applies to stores just the same as it does to individuals. Ours isn't a so-called Beautiful Store, hasn't beautiful fix lures, but we have Good Merchandise, and our Prices are Right

CITIZENS TO HEAR
 0F REASSESSMENT Committee to Hold Public Meet ing at Town Hall Friday Evening EXPERTS WILL BE PRESENT
Rev. William Ross of New Britain Will Address Bible Class--Radio Intcrfcrencc in Berlin-NIen's Lyceum Debate Tonight-Items.

A public meeting of all Berlin citizens interested in the question of property reEaIuation will be held in he town hall on Friday evening at o'clock. This meeting has been called by the Berlin committee on reassessment.
 The committee feels that it has gone into the matter of reassessing property in a careful manner. Inter views with experts have been held for the past several weeks and ad- vice on the matter has been forth coming from those who have eXperi- ence ip this line. Among those who have addressed the committee are listed Fax Commissioner William H. Blodgett, a representative of the American Appraisal company, rep resentative of the Manufacturers Appraisal Co.,, Thomas Linder of New Britain and Edward A. Nc Carthy, also of New Britain. The last two named have been working eS- tensively along these lines and have given some good advice to members of the committee. MT. Linder is ap- praisal engineer of the city of New Britain and MT. Mccarthy is ap- praisal director for the city of Mid dletown.
 Both Mir. Mccarthy and Mr. Linder will be present at the meeting Friday night, and they will explain 10 the taxpayers, the system and what it means. The will bring with them airpiane maps of Middletown, which will illustrate several of their points. Following the explanation 8 general discussion will be invited, at. which time residents will be at liberty to ask question pertaining to the work.
 The committee, apparently, is still of an open mind on the proposition, having heard the remarks of the eX- perts in order to learn something about the question of reassessment. An opinion will be formed later and will be presented at a town meet ing, held for the purpose of deciding whether or not Berlin will adopt the plan. The meeting Friday will give townspeople a chance to hear practi- cally the same talks as the commit tee has heard, so that the residents of the town may have the facts be- fore them and may vote intelligently on. the subject.
 Statement Is Retracted
 Miss Adele Murray, representing the Richard Murray Brick company made retraction to the Herald" to- day of that part of her statement at the meeting of he Worthington Fire district on Friday evening last, deal ng with tax levy on full assessment Of the company.
 She assumed responsibility for the errors in statement ir that she ac- cepted the figures as she gave them without having verified them for her self, she said. She further stated that there is an abatement of ap- proximately $4,000.
 However Miss Murray said that the retraction of this one statement does not. in any way, affect the is- sue in the legal sense, and she still holds to her contention expressed in meeting Friday evening, she said.
