voice of his wife. "That isn't cats; it's

Some Day She Will Say Yes
The old "Shepherd's Kalendar" has this
much to say about Christmas weather !:
s'If the sun shines clear and bright on
Christmas day it promiseth peaceable
year from clamors and strife, and foretells
much plenty to ensue; but if the wind
blow stormy toward sunset it betokeneth
sickness in the spring and autumn quar-
rels."

Last week Rev. a A. Marshall, the for
mer pastor Of the Baptist Church in this
city, left US to make his future home in
| Floyd County, Ga. As is we'll known,
Mr.. Marshall has been in wretched health
the past two years, and was forced to retire
| from the pulpit on that account. With
him he carries the love and friendship OF
our whole people, for We have never
| known a pastor who was more popular
or more highly esteemed, not only by his
own flock, but by those of every denomi'
nation, than he. In his retirement the
Church loses one of its most eloquent
able and jealous ministers. May HI
who "has given sight to the blind
strength to the weak, cured the sick, the
lame and the halt" be with him in his
sufferings and in due course of time re-
store him to health and happiness.
