The popular fad in Smyrna at pres
ent is to deck your residence with a
new coat of paint. This has been

placed in front of their residences,
fences fixed, Outbuildings whitewashed
and before Conference eonvenes here
next year we will be in as nice a con-
ditiOn to receive them as any town OF

THE absence of rain for more than
three weeks following the three days
storm of rain, hail and snow made the
showers that came on Saturday and
Sunday nights very desirable. Wheat

very OppOrtune for truckers Monday

THE New York Sun in speaking Of
Col. BreckinFidge sounding on Satur-
day in Lexington the keynote of his
congressional campaign says: "He is
running on the penitent-sinner issue.
There is as much humbug and hypocrisy
in this plea for votes as there has been
in Breckinridge's past life. II is not as
a penitent sinner that this man stands
before his constituents, but as detected
sinner. There is great difference be-
tween the two kinds of sinners" II
our cotemporary is so pungent with q
political aspirant of his own fold, what
would he have done with him as an un-
penitent sinner but who aspired to be
a religious teacher and leader all the
same? Would he have used green
goggles?
