Actor Preacher Parsons Turns From Stage to Pulpit in Louisville
Long forgotten tale recalls Charly Parsons a famed Louisville actor who, amid a crowded Fourth Street theater, abruptly left the stage to become a Methodist preacher. Found praying in a Jefferson Street church he then performed Richard on stage one last time before dedicating his life to ministry. The Parsons family included J. Parsons, a Louisville congressman who died in Washington in 1876, and another Parsons, Frank, who shared both acting and preaching.

Mean spirited piano party and odd voter note in Indiana
A comic debate at an evening party ends with a woman scolding a man as mean and deceitful over a piano display. The fragment shifts to a Carson Appeal note claiming no state registration in Indiana and that any resident who has lived there six months may vote in any precinct. An annual suspenseful line on the American Sunday follows.
