Brother Sterrett -- tell 'em!

Democrat, Oct. 1898

Public Lecture

A free lecture will be given at the Fairfield M.E. Church on Friday evening by Rev. H.D. Sterrett of Brookville on the subject of "Fraternities."

The fact that Bro. Sterrett is a member of the leading popular secret orders enables him to speak advisedly on the advantages of Brotherhood.

Let there be a good house as the speaker is a magnetic and popular talker.

Complimentary of a Brookville Minister

A gentleman from Greensburg who was present at the Street Fair informs us that Rev. H.D. Sterrett while at Castleton, Ind., Oct. 6, delivered his popular lecture entitled "The Pole that Knocks the Persimmon" to a crowded house of delighted hearers, who were so well pleased that a purse of several dollars was presented to Bro. Sterrett as a slight testimonial of their appreciation of the speaker and his subject. 

Our informant learned that Castleton is Bro. Sterrett's old home in Marion County and at the solicitation of friends was induced to return to give this lecture. 

Brookville can furnish talent on most any subject as she hold the honor with pride and does not lack for material when drawn upon by sister cities and towns of our state for educated men and women.
