ReV. John Stevens, of Williamson
county, preached at Bethany, last Sun
day, and at Flowers Sunday night.
The prOtracted meeting at Smyrna
closed after five days protracLion.
There were no accessions to the church,
though my young friend, Rev. Samuel
Sewell diu some good preaching. / at
tended the meeting at Philadelphia
church two nights, and, as usual, "gOt
left''-by mule. L wish to return
thanks 10 the mule, AS | had the
pleasure OF more cOngenial company.
l also attended a debate at the above
named church on last Saturday night.
The subject for discussion was: Re
sOVed, - hat man, after death goes di-
rect to his final Judgment" The at
firmatIVe did not ''shOw up" and the
discussion was limited. The same sub
ject will be debated there on next Sat
urday night week. There will be three
speakers TO u side, and none to be min
listers of the Gospel. The affirmative

of Bryant, and the negative by ZOlli-
Golfer Fox, of Forrest Grove. Each
champion has the privilege to choose
his own men to assist him. The at

Mr.. Stevens. on last Sunday, preached
from the text: "He that hath friends,
must show himself friendly; there is Il
friend that sticketh closer than broth
err" Wonder if the beloved reader of
these lines has a friend that has stuck
closer than a brother. And then again
L would wonder-but the angel that
showed me these things, said; "draw Il
curtain over the wonders that l have
shown thee, and reveal them not, till j
have shown thee greater things"
Young man, you want to be popular,
you want to be admired and cOurted,
by the young ladies, you
want TO be noticed. Then take the adj
vice of one on whose head there are
more white hairs than you will have
admirers when you have taken it. Do
this: Go to church. 90 with two other
boys Of the same calibre as yourself.
Stand in circle ground tine door and
talk and laugh till the preacher has
sung, prayed and taken his text and
well waning to his theme. Then walk
in like club-foOted dray mules and take
seats half way up the aisle. Set your
feet firmly on the back of the bench in
front of you. Take a chew of tobacco.
Spit on the tail OF the Prince
Albert worn by the man just i'll
front of you, if it happens to be in sight
At the most interesting point in the ser
mon, wink a deViliSh wink at your AS
sociates, and leave the church, and, if
in making your exit, you make as
much fuss as a six horse wagon and
every body turns round to see what has
happened, you are II grand success.
As in the Past, so am | Now, as to the
girls. Most respectfully. LEFT.
Hundreds of people drag along the
weary Summer months their lives made
by chills and fever and who
