With one more good rain, We will be in
dependent of western corn in this section
for the next year and if the Alliance locks
up their wheat reckon we can eat corn
bread. We were raised on it. and can
live on it again. I can remember when
ne were proud to get "cake-bread" for
breakfast, but now we must have 1t every
meal, and some times between meals. l
believe we would be healthier now if We
made our own meat and bread at home.
We would know what we were eating. A
great deal of the meat we get may be hogs
that have died of disease. We can't tell,
so let US all raise our own meat and bread
and live at home for once, Alliance or no
Alliance, Tillman or no Tillman, wheat
or no wheat, or Russian rye or anything
else, for we have the best country In the
world If We only had sense enough to
know it.
Crops are getting better every day, and
the farmers pass off the joyful time IN

The Piedmont Company are buying

continued night and day, with thirteen

early the people. began to gather at the
ferry, on the banks of the Tugaloo, to
witness the ordinance Of baptism adminis-
tered to those who had forsaken the world
and come out on the Lords side. 1t has
been our privilege to be at many baptisms,
but more beautiful, more impressive
occasion we have never witnessed. First
came seven young ladies, then an old lady
past her three.score years, followed by her
life companion, several years her senior.
After the baptizing the large congregation
repaired to the Church and listened to an
appropriate sermon by tho Rev. Morrison.
This closed one of the most glorious meet.

for in this vicinity. A good meeting,
good crops and good health.

Well, Mr. Editor, We have been waiting
on uncle ''Pedro" to give us all the news,
but we fear uncle "Pedro" Is sick himself,
or his wife, or some other mem ber Of the
family, as he has not given us any news
in the last two weeks; but perhaps it is
because he has been attending the pro-
tracted meeting at Starr and other places.
We SUPPOSE uncle "Pedro" will tell you
of the long faces some of the young men
had last Saturday when Miss Lizzie Gray
and Miss Lille Huffman bought tickets
to Augusta. We have wHrned the young
men previous to this about giving their
hearts away.
Our neigSborhood is we'll blessed with
protracted meetings this summer. Rev.
Mr.. Goss, of Georgia, has been preaching
for us several days at Union. Mr.. Goss
is an earnest, Christian man, and good
preacher.
Mrs, Tenant, of Bordeaux, has been in
town for several days visiting the families
of Messrs. Patterson and Mitchell.
Messrs. McAlister d Evans are making
success of the cross-tie business. They
have near 1000 ready for the wagons.
The crops are looking well, and our
town is on boom.
Mr.. J. l.. Wiles has received his lumber
for his new house, and the lumber for the
new Church is being prepared.
Mr.. D. T.. Barnes is making arrange
ments to move in our community. We
will be glad to have Mr.. D. J.. with us.
We hear great many discussions on
the subject of holiness now. AS We DO
not know much about holiness, We will
not say anything about it, but will say
that we do know that true, genuine reli-
gion is badly needed in our country. We
recently heard man say that religion
was as scarce as corn in this country /;
and if that be true, it is scarce, because
we believe that one common-size Texas
pony could eat all the old corn in five
square miles at this time-we mean corn
that was raised last year.
We think that we would all do we'll to
read and take advice from the 29th and
31st verses Of the 4th chapter of Pauls
epistle to the Ephesians. LIZZIE.
