The chief thing to be considered
in buying Cooking, or Heating
Stove, is to get one made near home,
so that Plates, that necessarily burn
out in course of time, can be replaced
at once, and thus preserve your
Stove for an indefinite term. The
Phillips & Buttorff Mfg. Co., of
Nashville, manufactures a line of
both Cooks and Heaters that are
equal to the best; when you want Il
Stove, therefore, get one that is
made at home. For sale by Nor
ford & Biles.

Safe Robberies.

The vault Of the bank at Wartrace
was blown open last Friday night,
and about $500 worth Of diamonds
were stolen. The safe, which was in
the vault, was not opened.
The postoflice at Lewisburg was
entered by burglars on Tuesday
night and the safe robbed of about
$500 in money and stamps. A hole
was drilled through the door Of the
safe and the lock knocked oGHy;th a
sledge hammer.
Both jobs were evidently the work
ofeXperts.

ADVANCED THOUGHTS"
DR.. Swallow Alleges Torty-three Defects
In Mr.. Matthias Argument.

DIR. Swallow Alleges Torty-threo Defects
In Mr.. Matthias Argument.
Ny friend, Mr.. Matthias, offers me some
GOOD advice in his article published on the
18th 1nst.-'never make an assertion which
you are unable to su~bstnntiate, and never
try to deny IN apparent fact" The adj
vice is good and l accept it with gratitude;
but / do not now see its application in an
effort to prove the Bible says "the earth
was created 5000 years ago in six days." l
may see it when the proof is made. 1t ID
good to learn something every day. But to
the question.
He makes, a pretty good argument to
prove tho Bibls says that Adam was created
about 5000 years ago. But there are forty
three fatal defects in the proof. He takes
forty-two periods of fifty years each from
some other authority. not the Bible. Give
periods of any length choose and | can
make the Bible say the earth is as old as
astronomers and biologists think it
is. Now Mr.. Matthias undertook
to provo the Bible says: "The
earth was created 5000 years ago in six
days" He adds six days for the difference
between the age of the earth and Adam and
refers to Genesis 1:1-3l to prove it.
But the FIRST verse says, I'm the
beginning God created the heavens
snd the earth" without declaring
or even intimating when that beginning
was. Some nave tried to prove the earth
was created in the first of the six days or
periods mentioned in that chapter; but no
one has as yet succeeded in making the
proof. Mr.. Matthias certainly has not.
Very many of tho best biblical scholars
think this first declaration refers back to
the time in the indefinite past, when the
matter of the universe was called into ex-
ietencc. and the remainder of the chapter
to the work of fitting up the earth and pop
ulating it, at some subsequent time, IN SIX
days or indefinite periods.
Mr.. Matthias offers to give me any other
Information / may desire in regard to his
historical and philosophical views. hope
to avail myself of his kind offer after he
has proved the Bible sars, THE earth was
created 5000 years age in six days" He
calls me his Opponent" do not wish to
be his opponent. I hoped we were CO.
workers in search of the truth. l believe
the Bible contains many revelations to Us
from the Creator and Ruler of the universe,
and that it WAS given to promote our happi-
ness; hence it is of the last importance for
me to understand just what it does teach,
and to follow it's teachings as closely as
possible.
10 the work then. my co-worker, and fill
up the forty-three wide gaps in your line OF
Argument; for
From reasons chain whatever link you strike,
Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.
