the fire insurance company cases.

Having seen nothing recently in your
columns from Macedonia. ! will state
that every thing is moving qnietly along
in and around our little village.
We feel thankful in saying that the
shadow of a physician has not fallen
across Il paths for some time. We
love them to see Us provided We are not
sick,
Our farmers are moving steadily a.
long, The nights and mornings have
been too cool for cotton, giving uneven
stands and also causing bud worms to
prey upon corn, but now the weather
Is more favorable for growing crops and
or farmers are awaiting them elves Of
every opportunity to push thcir crops
and it is to be hoped their efforts will be
crowned with success.
From the announcement made in II
legislative hall by Col. Wilson Of Lee
county relative to the blind tiger near
our state capitol being run in favor Of a
new capitol, it seems 10 me that this
blind tiger is the blindest tiger that eve
went blind. 1t is a shameful piece of
presumption on its part to undertake to
shape the votes of mel competent to rep
resent the State of Mississippi in tn @
matter Of building a new capitol. 1t is
TO be hoped that all our members who
voted for Il new capitol will always he
able to prove al alibi. A new capitol
will cost $50, 900 and a repair will cost
SIS, 900, making a difference of SG7a, coo
in favor Of the tax payers. Now Is this
not indeed a mighty blind blind tiger to
shut its eyes Oh these figures.
Bro. Tumblin was with us at Mace
donna last Sabbath evening, and gave III
a faithful picture of the final Judgment
day, plainly showing the Judges plan
of separating the saint and the sinner.
The preacher also faithfully demon
strated rules by which all may pass tt
the right of the Judge on that day, i
observed properly by us before we ar,
summoned to the trial. 1t seemed t.
me considering the speed we aie al
making to that trial aud the number o.
passengers aboard the great ship OF lif
around Macedonia that his audience wa
too small. The foundation of his re
marks is in the concluding part of tn
25th chapter Of Matthew.
