Friday morning, in company with our
clever friend II. G. Martin, we drove over
to White Plains, where the Piedmont AS
sociation of the Baptist Church was being
held. The crowd was 80 large that the
Church would not hold them, and stand
was erected about half mile from the
Church, where services were held. Rev.
TN. Bailey preached fine sermon on
the missionary cause, and he made 1t clear
why we should send missionaries to the
heather. We wish every one who ia op-
heathens could have heard his discourse,
for we believe they would change their
views and become earnest workers in the
cause. We never saw 30 many candidates
before at one place In our life. It was
shake, shake, shake. My hands hurt 80
bad that can hardly write. have to
keep them tied up In vinegar and brown
paper. While they swarmed around and
was shaking the old. mems 8 hands and kiss.
ing the babies, our mind began to work
on this style:
They are getting ready for the fray,
And their banners are foating high,
And their mules keep up braying
AS the wagons come rolling by.
They've thrown away the towering beaver.
And they're getting on hump,
And they're shouting the governments
depressing us,
On the Alliance stump.
It just looks like we can't get to hear the
preachers,
For 'em shaking Of our hand,
And they're kissing every baby
As they 60 around the stand.
No wonder we are about to fall from grace,
And s'cussing" It'll we are blue,
For II they must kiss the babies,
Why not the women, too.
We will remind the candidates that we
are not in politics this year, and it Is use
are too young to vote. We think the best
course for tho Conservatives to pursue is
not to have anything to do with politics..
It will be best for them and the cause If
they won't vote in the primary or general
election. We say don't grace the polls
with your presence. You can't change
the result by going to the polls and cast.
Ing in your little vote.
We are informed that the Wesleyans
have begun a protracted meeting at
Friendship school house. There was no
preaching there Saturday night as was
expected. The rain prevented q congre-
CATION from being present.
We will suggest that the boys In this
section organize poetical club. We be-
lieve such a Club would not only be
amusing but instructive. What say you,
fellows?
Our young friend, Johnny Lofts, says
be is n ow running on the courting plat
form, and IS now ready to haul the girls
around. he can be seen every day on the
streets driving his steer to cart. He
says II any old maids CT widows want to
take a ride they can do 80 by paying for it.
His charges are reasonable. For an old
maid the fare ia saucer of "black berry
JAM" and for widow pumpkin pie"
Ifany one sees US with water marks on
our face, please don't think we have been
in watermelon up to our eyes, for If you
do you will be mistaken. The truth is We
are In lachrymal state, and we have rea.
son to be, for we lent our cart to ''desd
head" to go to town, and he paid us by
breaking one of the shafts. We can't get
to go to see our best girl. We know that
every one who reads this will syn1pathize
with US in our sore bereavement. In our.
next We will tell you Of one days expert
