Dr. II. M. Mnllory, a prominent physician licrc from 1811 to 1840, in hi book; "Personal Itrcol lections of Brownsville," um! in Iii personal sketches, says that Ii' never know a continuity that so free fron scandal hiiJ gossip as was Hrownsville and tin Hiiiroundiiij.'- coinmunity during that period and satjs that Ii i It lie lias traveled to every section of the L'nited States and to ninny Joreign parts, hi mind reverted more , en to the time of hin residence in Hrdj isville on "account of the high and nob character of its people nnd the pleasant association with them during his stay here. We have but briefly given meiition of a few of the early families of the locali

ty and mentioned some of the industries !

that were here from the early history of the county to the Civil War terud. All honor and respect is due to the memory of the pioneer families during thin period for their successful efforts in clearing the forests, educating their children, building Christian homes, founding and maintaining churches and schools of the township. And this they did under adverse conditions, all that they might leave to posterity the splendidly developed country and the civilization that we now enjoy, and a mark for character and citizenship that has never been surpassed if ever 'equalled.

"Do yon know there are today in Kurope thousands of children little children who are in desperate need of food!" "They nre hungry; they are crying for bread and ure wasting away for the want of it." The foregoing sentences are used as introductory to an appeal on behalf of the HiitTcring children of the Allied nations now being sent out by the American Committee of the International Heconstruction League. Continuing, this appeal says: "Generous hearts and willing hands are doing all that is possible to relieve this situation, but the best efforts fall far short of satisfying the demands. "Think of it! Little children who are facing starvation, who are pleading for life's barest necessity, who must have food if their lives are to be saved. They

ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

HISTORIC SKETCHES OF UNION COUNTY Brownsville By L. J. Cully. (Continued from last week.)

Adam Mason operated an oil mill near Brownsville, on the farm now owned by Mrs. Heim. He made a high grade of linseed oil and did a good business until 1SÖ3, when he suspended business and sold the building to Lewis Swallow. The frame was moved and is now a part of the tenant house on the farm of 11. II. Crist. The large burrs are in front of i I. Dye's residence.

:rdn Partington, an Englishman, erect

ed and operated a woolen mill which did an exteusive business from 183.) until after the Civil War. The mill stood just northwest of the Simpson Creek bridge. About 1817 Joshua Youse ran a distillery at the north end of town and manufactured liquors extensively for some years, as did James Lunb on the farm now owned by James Doddridge. Marks of the race and water power are yet visible. Xorvall Poggs operated a still on what is now the Jul) 11 Maze farm. Another one near Philomath, and one on the Watt farm were doing business back in the thirties, but little is known of them. Jn 1819 Elijah Holland established the first hatter's shop. Major William Watt came here from Pennsylvania in 1821 and conducted the hatter business 011 a large scale in the two-story log building that recently stood where Tell Bnggs now has a residence. In 1832 William Youse was running a tan yard where Whetsel's mill now stands. Later Isaac Stagg purchased the yard and successfully conducted the business for a number of years.

Of the many other industries of Hrownsville there was the blacksmith business, in the hands of such sturdy pioneers as Samuel Yaryan and Ross Kchard. George Schroycr ran a cooper shop near the Dungan home from 1S10 to 1K10. George Mason, in 1S32, was making plows and wagons in the brick building where Dye now owns. In later years the business was taken over by Heeson Mason and conducted until 1ST 2. Kli Kaufman ran a cabinet shop on a pretty large scale. He made all kinds of furniture and also manufactured coffins. Many of the older residents have the tables, bureaus and stands, mostly of walnut and cherry, that were made by him. George Muir was a chairmaker, O. II. Williams was the shoemaker, while Marts and Frederick were the village

Marts and Frederick were the village tailors, their shop being located on the lot near Jennings corner.

Thomas and Garrett Dungan were coopers and plasterers while Thomas Walvertine manufactured saddles and harness near where Mrs. Stanley now lives. In the early history of the village, during the days of the stage coach, keeping hotel, or tavern as it was called, was a profitable business. As early as 1810 to 1S20 we find that Mr. Rolf, Frederick Youse, and others wer keeping, ta.ve.ni;. also that the commissioners' record shows that in 1825 James Raird was licensed to keep a tavern. This license was renewed up to 1831. 'in the same year William Langston paid the sum of $8.00 to run a tavern. William Youse was licensed to sell groceries and distilled liquors from 1829 to 1831. Ira Grovcr and brother were also licensed to sell groceries in 1830. The others who ran taverns from 1821 to 18G5 were a Mr. Wagner, George Swallow, Isaac Itider, Henry Cashner and William Messmore. It is said that Col Rider returned

from the Baltimore convention by stage

coach in 1S;. and that he addressed a great crowd in front of Isaac Rider's

hotel assembled to hear from the convention, and told them of the nomination

of James Huchanan five weeks after the convention was over.

Among the physicians of the early

days were Dr. Daniel Trembly, Dr. Jami

son, Dr. Willis, Dr. D. M. Rider, Dr. II. M. Mallory, and a Dr. Ilindiman. These with the others I have mentioned were among the prominent early pioneer residents of Hrownsville that is from 1810 to ISliO. They were industrious, honorable and above the average in intelligence. They came here mostly from Pennsylvania, Carolina and Virginia. From Pennsylvania, among the sturdy pioneer families, were the Cashners, Levistons, Hoyds, Watts, Thomases, Yaryans, and Staggs, while the MeVickers, Hoggs, Hecks, and Shirkeys came from Carolina and Virginia. The lir.-t mercantile business here was conducted by the firm of Constant and F.Ik ins, who commenced business here as soon as the village Was platted. They oK-ned their store in the fall of 1820. Later James Youse and the firm of Yandees and Youse, Grovcr Rros., Charles Thompson and Edward C. Hall, Stagg ami Stevens, Swallow and Hradrick, Col. Henry Rider, George Wooley, Lazarus M. Nor r is, Xavier Hallinger and others engaged in the mercantile business here. These men ranked high among the citi

zenship of the county. They were progressive and did much to develop and to promote the best interests of the community.

The second annual conference for rural ministers of Indiana will be held at Purdue University May 8, I), and 10. The object of this conference will be to present in a concrete form lines of work that can be taken up by the rural ministers, in order that the rural church may become a more eflective factor in the betterment of country life. During the year surveys have been conducted by Purdue University, conferences of rural ministers have been held in various districts, individual churches have been given help in various forms, and in other ways the movement has been materially furthered. The results of all this work will be presented so that ministers, laymen nnd others interested in the rural church may get first hand information as to the best means of carrying forward the rural work. Men of national prominence will take an active part in the Purdue conference, which assures all workers of definite and valuable help.

The movie army will soon take Indiana. The D. A. II. of Indiana have launched their campaign- for the creation and adoption of a state banner as a fitting Centennial observance. They point out that all the original thirteen states and some of the others have such, which serve as emblems of state pride and loyalty. They have opened a competition in design of an original, appropriate banner, particulars concerning which may lc had by addressing Mrs. John Carey, 1150 X. Meridian St., Indianapolis. Crawfordsville, the Athens of Indiana, is one of the livest towns of the state in the Centennial movement, with L. X. Dines as county chairman.

Reports have been coming in steadily of historic scenes and dramas presented in the schools, of school-boy pioneer street parade, of the preparations in progress for the pageant, and other things in keeping.

"It was as if I had left nty Bciit MlTT actually was appearing in reality on the screen; the thrill was the same while I watched my Carmen. So spoke Geraldine Farrar, grand opera prima donna and star of the Paramount Picture, "Carmen," produced by the La sky Feature I'lay Company on the occasion of its premiere presentation before an audience of nearly 3,000 person in Symphony Hall, lloston. Miss Farrar, with her mother and father, and a party of friends, watched the presentation from one of the orchestra sections of the huge hall and at the conclusion of the exhibition the prima donna, her eyes filled with tears, was compelled to bow aaiu and again to the enthusiastic applause. It was at Miss Farrar's own suggestion that "Carmen," which was made in the La sky studios nt Hollywood, Ca!.. was first presented in lloston, her native city. Arrangements were made by Samuel Goldfish, and the premiere of the

photoplay was one of the most important society and theatrical events of the New Kurland autumn. Among those present were .lames F. Curley, of lloston, and leading city and state oflicials of Rostoii and MasMachusetts, as Well as society's loading lights. Miss Farrar received a brilliant welcome on her arrival at Symphony Hall. The photoplay was presented with the accompaniment of an operatic orchestra of fifty playing a specially prepared wore arranged by S. L. Rothapfel, formerly managing director of New York's Strand Theater. "It was thrilling," said Miss Farrar again and again to inquiries as to how she enjojed watching herself on the screen. Frequently during the presentation the prima donna applauded with the audience the sections of the photoplay which aroused enthusiasm and at the tragic conclusion wherein is pictured the death of Carmen at the hands of Don Jose. Miss Farrar admitted that her own acting on the screen found a sympathetic response in her own emotions. "Carmen" will be shown here at the I'nioti Theatre, Saturday.
