ELOnlDAs Ooh' SoO'
The mud that was so plenty in our streets
is now covered with snow, which was long
looked for, and everybody is busy teaming
and logs are moving in every direction.
W. s. Brubaker is busy getting material
ready to build house on the farm that was
purchased from A. Lowery.
The saw mill of j. Fl. Barr had shut down
on account of no logs on hand. This snow
perhaps will bring good supply.
VIM. Kemmer has got tired of carrying
around his wooden leg and cast it aside and
purchased a new one from Cincinnati. 1t
cost about $125 and he walks around on it
very well for starter.
The White Caps have made their appear
ance in our village as several notices have been
posted up. One notice was posted on the sta
BILE door of a teamster in our village with the
warning that if he did not clean out his stable
SO that his horses could lie down at night, he
would be visited by White Caps, and that it was
no boys play, either. The teamster got to
work Immediately and hauled out twenty
wagon loads of manure. Another notice was
posted on the door of a certain shoemaker
with the warning that if he did not scrub out
and keep his shop in little better trim that
forty lashes would be meeted out to him by
White Caps, which unstrnng his nerves SO
that he ordered nearly all young boys out of
his shop and would hardly speak for week,
and is still looking for the intruders.
Since the corporation is in full blast the
question is asked every day where is your
caliboos? Some of the young bloods may
find out soon enough where it will be. We
understand the council had meeting the
other evening and passed several new ordi
nances, and everything went off in good style
which speaks we'll for the council, and Floridf
may feel proud of the body, as it is composed
of men capable of filling the positions salts
factory.
i Our quiet little village has been the seem
of quite an uproar the past tweek on accoun
Il of few tattlers and tale bearers wearing pet
ticoats, and who want to be religious and pu
on long face of gospel grace when at church
how often has it been remarked how slow
was for people to accept Christ as Saviou
and the teaching of the blessed bible as
guide to faith and practice when the infiuenc
of so many professed christians ls in favor o
the world, the flesh and the devil. Here W
have those among us yet unexp xperienced il
religion who suppose that all members of
church are honest, holy and consecrate
christians. Well they should be, but whe
they discover the juggling and quarrelin
: they have cause to wonder. A true christian
in the world is like ship sailing on the ocean
it is not the ship being in the water ths
sinks it but the water getting into the shiI
, so the world, with its love of pleasure, gel
ting into the hearts of christians has RUNE
/ millions. I say, no wonder the world is slo
), coming to Christ when 80 many of his pre-
fessed followers show by their every da
7 lives that they are in league with the devi
r Kind friends. it is our every day walk an
4 conversation, then let us continually waite
r and pray least we enter into temptation, an
not only become cast awsys ourselves but lea
others astray. A. +. M. y.
