Sweetwater, September l3.--Rolled-
plate piety will not stand hs-klahe OF
the nineteeth century. we must have
that which will go eighteen karats fine
DOWNRIGHT, or we can not get along ut
all. At least so think the good people
of Sweetwater who are planning for
three denominational churches. When
these three churches get into full blast
there will not be room here for the sa-
loon-kceper, or the man who dis
charges his revolver or employees on
Sunday. Things VIII have To be con-
Quoted on the strict orthodox plan
henceforth and forever. Sand must
be extracted from the elders sugar,
and the true and beautiful must be di-
vorced from the false and deformed at
whatever cost. We must have more
brotherly love for each other and
cease to do that which is unbecoming,
and learn to walk bolt upright, with
out props, stays or orutclles. There
must be change even though it be
swift and terrible. Matters cannot re-
main as they now are; there must be
more activity, more push, more zeal,
and no looking back by the young
men. After putting their hands to
| the plow they IN lst hang on with the
tenacity of tick, with eyes front,
and all wearing golden slippers go in
| light marching order down the cor
| ridors of time. We must learn TO love
the flowers that bloom by the wayside
and attend strictly to our plowing--re
! membering the things Of the hour
must perish-that eternity has no gray
! hairs or wire fences to modest us or
| make us afraid. The lines must be
more clearly defined than is possible
under the old dispeasatlon OF CHM
ney corner surveys. There must he
activity in all the recruiting posts;
! life in the rear ranks must
come to the front and put their
shoulders to the wheel ana dc some
| heavy work, and if needs be, blister
| their hands little, so they can carry
| the badges of toll along witt! them.
No Sinking of responsibilities VIII be
! allowed, all bills must be paid on the
! third or fourth reading, and then the
! time will soon come when "Mary's lit
! tie lamb will not consider IL unbe-
coming to repose along side OF the King
! of beasts. The places that know rs
to-day will wonder where we are to-
morrow. Dancing judiciously admin
istered must be arrested, and all III
larious sports discarded, unless they
have the brand blown on the bottle.
| There is no doubt but what any intel
lipent man would be willing to donate
ten wears of the front end of life in or
der that he be permitted to live IN this
golden age of activities, and see them
tear down the walls of old Babylon.
Already the dull thud of The great bat
tering rams can be heard as they issue
their protests against those whileu
castles OF sin in that ancient clty, ana
it is but fair to presume, that VITA the
means and appliances at our command,
our little town of Sweetwaler VIII ne
restored to her former grandeur among
nations.
