Dr. Jarnerson Here Sunday.
Dr. C. H. Jarnerson, superintend¬
ent of the Orphans Home at Decatur,
preached a very interesting sermon
at the Methodist church Sunday morn¬
ing to a large and appreciative con¬
gregation. After the sermon Dr.
Jarnerson gave a brief outline of the
work at the orphanage and asked for
donations to that institution. The
work they do at Decatur is one of the
most benevolent in the state and the
fact that that they are earing for so
many motherless and fatherless chil¬
dren is due the support and praise of
the people of the entire state. He
received in subscriptions $96.35.
In the afternoon Mr. Jarnerson was
at the Midway church in the interest
of the orphanage and made a short
talk, but stated that the time being
so short he would not take a collec¬
tion, but would come back sometime
in the near future when he could go
into the details of the work.
The people of Covington have al¬
ways been very liberal to the Orphans
Home and are always ready to help
them in a substantial way.
