Why You Should Paint Now.


Most people paint when they get ready,
thinking that one time is just as good as
another; but this is not fact; the spring and
fall are the only seasons in which outdoor
painting should be done, if you want a good
nice job, II is not good to paint when II
freezes at night, your paint is very liable to
run, and in a year or two scale of. Then
too, when the warm summer days come, you
have the dust and flies to contend with, both
of which are very injurious to paint. Saur
& Balsley have nice, large and fresh stock
of Paints on hand which they received direct
from the manufacturers and which they war
rant to beas coed If not better than any other
paint made, and to give satisfaction. This
house carries the largest stock, largest as
sortment of colors and largest variety of
paints in any quantity to suit the purchasers
and the prices are guaranteed to be as low as
the lowest.

The Great Sunday School Movements
Facts and Figures -Baptists
Organizing for Work.

Presbyterians for many years have
had their Sunday school work well
organized, and now, under the man.
agement Of DR.. Worden, it is a great
source Of revenue in church work.
DR., Cunningham is doing a SINH
lar work in the Methodist church, re-
Sulting in thousands of dollars to the
various enterprises OF the church.
The Baptists, under the direction Of
the State Mission Board of Tennessee,
are now organizing for enlarged work
in the interest of Sunday school mis-
sions; and through The kindness OF
the secular as well as the religious
press, we hope to advance this public
interest. There are, say, 800 Baptist
Sunday schools in the State One
dollar per month from each Of these
some will give nothing, others $5-will
amount to 5000, and this amount will
supply thousands of our people with
Gospel preaching and religious litera'
ture. An average of 81 per month
from half these schools will give us
1900, aad yet no individual will
know that he has given anything
One thousand religious services
OF one sort and another, and many
thousand testaments and tracts, can
be given to our fellowmen by the
above contributions and the schools
themselves very much benefited by
giving, Systematically, that amount.
Now, Brother Superintendent please
report your school (giving postoffice,

you are willing to be one of the line
now forming from Bristol to Memphis
Many have reported. but we want you
to report.
Some schools are small and poor
and will not collect more than ter
cents per month, but these are very
important, and OF all others should be
in the line OF workers.

MiSQuOted Lines.

1t isa peculiar faculty OF human
memory to misquote proverbs and po'
etry, and almost invariably to place
the credit where it does not belong.
Nine men out OF ten think that "the
Lord tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" is from the Bible, whereas Law
renee Sterne is the author. Pouring
oil upon the troubled waters" is also
ascribed to the sacred volume, whereas
it is not there; in fact, no one knows
its origin.
Again, we hear people say: "The
proof Of the pudding is in chewing the
string" This is arrant nonsense, and
the proyerb says The proof of the
pudding is the eating thereof" and moi
in chewing the string.
Nothing is more common than &c
hear "a man convinced against his
will is of the same opinion still" Thi:
is an impossible condition of mind, fol
no one can be convinced OF an opinior
and at the same time hold to an oppo
site one. What Butler wrote was EN-
inently sensible "He that complies
against his will is of his own opinion
still"
A famous passage Of Scripture is Of
ten misquotrd thus: He that is with
out sin among You, let him cast tht
first stone.o 1t should be: "Let hin
cast u stone"
Sometimes we are told: "Behol(
how great fire little matter kin
dleth," whereas st. James said "Be
hold how great a matter Il little fir
kindleth,' which is quite differen
thing.
We also hear that miss is as goo'
as mile" which is not as sensible o
forcble as the true proverb: "a mis-
of an inch is as good as mile"
"Look before you leap" should be
"And look before you ere you leap"
Pope is generally credited with hay
ing written, "Immodest words ADM
OF no defense, for want of decency
want of sense" They were written b
the Earl OF Roscommon, who died b.
fore Pope was born. u

A WoMAN's BLESSING.


Sweethearts, wives and mothers
gathered like Sparta women to cheer
and bless and kiss fond farewell.
Never before did sucE destiny hang
by such slender thread, and yet so
safely hang. The command is given,
every man is in line. Over hill and
stream and trackless wild they march
until the morning light Of that mem
orable day disclosed to view the heights
Of Kings Mountain bristling with
bayonets On, on they pressed up the
mountains base and girdled with a
battle line as with chain of steel.
THE PLAN OF BATTLE.
Up to the mountains very brow the
line swiftly moved and poured with
unerring ain whitening storm of
lead into the serried ranks of the as
tonished foe. Like the crimson leaves
Of autumn that fuHered and fell
around them, dislodged by the terrible
commotion, the relocated British
dropped to earth by scores.
Light rolled the war clouds to the sky
In phantoms, towers, columns high.
And in one short hour the victory
was won.
Kings Mountain won the revolution
made popular government possible, in
augurated the most glorious epoch in
the history OF the earth. 1t created
this Federal Union.
ORIGINATOR OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE
| Sewer was the origin ator of the vol
unteer service. No draft ever made
troops. When danger threatened they
came like leaves in the whirlwind. The
Kings Mountain heroes were raw vol
unteers. But they we're volunteers in

gun. From that day to this Tennessee,
has never failed her title to the prout
name of the Volunteer State.

derful career ! Immediately the new
State OF Tennessee was formed, and
John Sewer was made its first Gov
ernor. 1t was his by right OF conquest,
OF creation, OF worthiness. For twelve
years he manned the helm OF State as
Governor; then in 1871 he was elected
to Congress, reelected in 1918 and
again in 1916; this time without oppo-
sition, during his absence on his last
expedition and only a month before
his death.
The battle OF Kings Mountain was
the turning point in the revolution.
The tide was fairly set against the col

crowded back into the interior, deci-

everywhere, and the golden sun OF lib

a section OF Cornwallis's victorious
army and its utter annihilation car
