approval. The Presidents aggressive
stand on the silver question makes IL
now almost assured that this will BIO
the first engrossing subject TO come
before Congress- II is quite likely
that Legislation on this subject will
be proposed in the Senate at once,
and II will certainly provoke a long
debate, for the advocates OF silver
coinage are evidently no less determ'
med than its enemies.

WMBRRLY, TEXAS, Doc. ID, 1885.
ED FREE PREss:-0ur pleasant autumnal
weather was ended last Friday evening, the
18th inst, with the fret cold norther Of the
season, accompanied with copious rain
which brought Joy TO the farmers and frowns
10 the stockmen. =.
Tho grass on tho range Is better than It
has been for years, and II we do not have
too much rain, stock will winter well; they
are now fat and thrifty.
Tho grain crop in our community was
abundant this year. but the cotton crop for
the last three years has boon O partial fail
ure, consequently money is scarce, while
We have plenty OF ''hog and hominy," and
we will nevor complain ns long as wo have
plenty Of the latter.
The farmers are living In faith, and are
going ahead preparing for another crop
blowing, clearing land, etc.
Our merchants are good, jolly follows,
and their faces are radiant with bright
smiles, consequently I imagine that they arc
doing thriving business; but the only
physician we have, has practically retired
from pmctice-nothing to do, scarcely any
sickness-so much for our pure, salubrious
climate.
The dengue has not yet made Its appear
ance in our midst, but the matrimonial fever
Is raging; several cases of the latter malady
having eliminated fatally at altar of Hymen,
and from present indications think quite n
number of other severe cases will end SINH
larly.
The following are the contracting parties
who offered themselves as sacrifices upon the
Hymenial altar: Miss Mamie Henson and
Mr.. I. w. Lewis; Miss Ophelia Pierce and
Mr.. Joe Galloway; Mrs. Daugherty and q
Mr.. Massey; Miss Matte McUuistian and
Walter Deck
$50 you can SEQ that the future outlook of
our otherwise melancholy physician is en-
couraging).
May their future pathway be ono Of hap
piness, unalloyed by tho troubles that usu-
ally .beset our journey through lifo.

Bro. Martls on Bro, Porter.

We copied in our last from the
Baptist Herald, q little article from
Bro. Borter on Bro. Martin. We
copied II simply as q matter OF local
interest, and thought 1t was legit-
mato to do 80, especially after its ap-
pearance in the Herald, the church or
gan. Some OF Mr.. Martins friends
have suggested that We should give
his reply to Mr.. Porter, and believing
in "equal and exact justice to all
men," we comply by giving so much
Of Mr.. Martins article as is really a
reply TO that OF Mr.. Porter, and CO.
cupying about tho same space, This
will place the parties on the same
footing, 80 far as we are concerned,
and close the matter in the columns
of the FREE PRRss:
Baptist Herald.
II Bro. Porters positions and re-
ligious troubles were rs well under
stood to tho readers Of the Herald as
they IRE to tho church ut Kyle, it
would not DO necessary that l should
refer TO his article. / am sorry his
publication forces me into print again.
He has "misrepresented" Inc, and it
becomes necessary that l should cor
rect. l never took the position that
the "new birth takes placeat tho time
one is born naturally" or that the
germ was implanted then. I hold
that the new birth takes place when
one believes in Christ-that the germ
OF this new birth is the truth believed.
hold that no one will ever be re-
generated who was not born to this
end when he was born--unless he is
of the promised seed. This last posi-
ton, so abundantly taught in Gods
word, Bro. Porter twists into his mis-
representation. As to what Bro.
Porter says about Gods recognizing
no instrument but his called ministry,
and the Sunday-school not being
instrumental in the salvation OF SIN
ners, will say that this expression
of his grows out of dispute which
he and I had in the church at Kyle.
I urged the teachers to do moro per-
sonal work, teaching the unconverted
that they were lost and needed q
Saviour. I stated that I believed
that the Sunday-school teacher could
do effectual work of this kind, but
that did not believe that anyone
not called of God to preach could 80
explain the way of salvation that
sinner could comprehend it; that the
qualification its gift,and is existence
in Christian WAS the manifestation
of Gods call to the ministry.
Bro. Porter hus never agreed with
mo on any important matter, that /
know ot,where there was agood open
ing to disagree.
I am not surprised at his endorsing
Bro. Law, for I have known from the
beginning that he was one OF Bro.
Laws reporters.
had very little trouble in my
work at Kyle outside of my disagree.
ment with Bro. Porter. Inever tried
harder to satisfy man about his own
religion, and never failed worse. 1
need not say here how stood with
my church when I resigned; anyone
may learn that by writing to the
officers of the church. The disagree
ment with Bro. Porter was chronic.
Outside of his religious troubles, and
that which logically grows out OF
them, Bro. Porter is a pleasant,
agreeable man, ono whom I love.
