CHARACTER AND CHARACTERS
Discussed In Lecture— Untarnished
Truths Presented with a Humor
That Took Away the Sting.
Greenfield (Ohio) Republican.
The season’s lecture course se
ries closed on Saturday evening
with the Sam Jones lecture.
Mr. Jones took for his subject
“Character and Cbaracteis,” and
there were not many phases of
character or many types of charac
ter that were overlooked in the
course of his two hours’ talk.
Sam Jones speaks according to
his convictions, and presents what
he considers the truth in ungar
nished English. His lecture was
replete with an original humor that
took the sting out of the many
pointed statements he advanced,
and brought a laugh instead of a
frown. While his language is not
always the kind to which polite
society is accustomed, still its blunt
ness is tempered by the softness of
his southern accent and by his
personality.
Mi. Jones did not hesitate to ex
press his opinion concerning Green
field and her moral atmosphere,
which in his estimation would be
highly improved by a thorough
spring house-cleaning. The clergy,
the laymen and public at large,
each were charged with their share
of responsibility, in a half satiri
cal, half humorous way, but which
was altogether serious enough to
make Mr. Jones’ meaning evi
dent. Even those of Sam Jones’
hearers who were not entirely in
sympathy with his style had to ad
mit that they were highly enter
tained.
On Sabbath morning Mr. Jones
occupied the pulpit and addressed
a house packed from wall to wall.
Not only was the seating capacity
filled to overflowing, but every
inch of standing room was crowded.
Those who heard Sam Jones in
his lecture were entirely surprised
by his sermon of Sabbath morn
ing, the most critical were cb-n med
and his greatest friends were mov
ed to increased admiration. He
took for his text the passage, “God
so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten son that whoso
ever believeth on him should not
perish but have everlasting life.”
He delivered the message of the
great Father’s love with a warmth
and sympathy, and with a simple
spirituality, that made it a tangible,
tender protection.
No mere comment can do the
sermon justice. Its directness, its
simplicity, its power, accentuated
by the ability of the natural orator
to carry his audience to great
heights, produced a masterpiece
that will live in the hearts of his
hearers, and will lend anew esti
mate to the character of Sam Jones.

death of dr. griffin.
One of the City’s Best Known Phy
sicians Died Monday.
Covington Elite prise.
Shortly after i o’clock Monday
afternoon Dr. George G. Griffin,
one of the best known Covington
physicians and citizens, passed
away at his home on Clark street
after a sickness of about three
weeks. The news of his death
spread rapidly, and many feeling
tributes were paid him by his
friends and admirers. It can be
truthfully said that no citizen of
Covington has enjoyed more pop
ularity and esteem, and if there
was ever a man who passed through
life and died without an euemy,
Dr. Griffin was that man.
The funeral service was con
ducted at his home Tuesday after
noon by Rev. R. C. Cleckier, and
his remains were taken to Oxford
for interment.
Dr. Griffin was 69 years old, and
is survived by two brothers and
one sister: J. H. Griffin, of College
Park; C. M. Griffin, of Covington;
and Mrs. Frank M. MeanSj of Ox
ford. There are five children liv
ing, Mrs. T. R. Jones, of Carters
ville; Mrs. Robert Tompkins, of
Helena; Mr. Robert Griffin, of
Cartersville; Misses Mamie and
Susie Griffin, of Covington.
During the civil war he was a
surgeon in the confederate army,
and at the time of his death was a
prominent member of the local
camp, confederate veterans.

This shows me in the front rank,
being number five as to affirmances
and number one as to cases dis

absurdity of all that my opponent
says against my legal or executive
ability.
The people have been kind to
me, and for which I am profoundly
grateful; and, on the other hand, I
have been faithful to the people,
