at last come TO the conclusion that 1t is the
wranglIng of the white politicians and the
darkey is the bone and has nothing to do
with it. He also says that the Bible says
I"When the wicked rule, the righteous
mourn" Politics has at last become nui-

Iu response to an invitation from Rev. and
Mrs. II. +. Bradley, we attended their 25 ami
versary, their Silver Wedding on the loth
which was last Thursday. Quite a number
had been invited to join in on this happy
and pleasant occasion. We arrived at lib
o'clock and found everything and everybody
in a good humor seeming to realize what we
met for. The groom never looked handsom-
| er as he met each and every one, and the
| congratulations were as numerous as on the
first wedding day. His wife Is one OF the
most aima.ble ;and lovable ladies' This coun-
try affords. Truly 1t can be said OF her, 'She
opened her mouth with wisdom, and in her
tongue Is the law OF Kindness" The silver
ware was beautiful, consisting OF knives,
forks, spoons, pitchers ETC., besides many
other valuable articles: But the most imp0r-
tant part with us had just come when the
dinner bell called us anu oh what dinner
table just filled with barbecued meats, snla is
and pickles. And the cakes and Iced drinks
were delicious, and such All abundance ol
everyth thing as we haven't seen in long time
Formally and dressed up ceremony were laid
aside and II was most sociaoe gathering.
We all enjoyed the nice day and hope oul
cousins may have many happyTeturns with
showers of blessings. These were some o
the guests from home: Mr. A. w. Wideman
and sister, Messrs. Harry, Sam, and Pau
Presley, from Due West: Mrs; !: c; KlSgb n
