We have heard and read many sto-
ries about absent-minded people, but
there is a man living near here that beats
them all. He came here to Church re-
Gently, and when the congregation was
dismissed he took leg-bail for home, and
travelled a mile before he remembered
that he had left his mule and saddle at
church.
A macintosh Qadv's) was picked up
near the church during tho Association,
and is now in possession of Mr.. E. l..
Hall. The owner can get it by calling
and describing same.
A very small bait catches some people.
| A trout seldom bites at an angleworm,
and a sucker never gets caught with a
minnow. A mudcat will take anything.
| What is true OF fishes is true Of men, and
Mr.. +. w. Eanister is 40 exception to
| the saying because we caught him with a
! pin hook with no bait at all. Mr.. Locke
| tells us that upon asking a blind man
| what he thought scarlet was he answered
| that he believed it was like the sound of
q trumpet. He was forced to form his
| conceptions Of ideas, which he had not,
by those which he had. In the same
name an envious man cannot but see
PROJECTIONS, yet, having contracted the
distempor of "cquired blindness, be will
not own thHu:, but will sometimes de-
grade or misrepresent things which are
excellent. Just so with Mr.. Banister.
For instance he is charged with saying
that the arbor was q very shabby affair,
that the negroes in his section built bet
ter ones, and then q few remarks similar
| about the painting OF tho church, which
resulted in an indignation meeting. Con-
| s%equently, We voiced the sentiment Of
the community, with perhaps q few ex-
ceptions. Now, MIR. Banister, if you will
pardon US, We will undertake to explain
your explanation. You say the seats
| were made Of old flooring planks, con-
tanning nails. ETC., also, some Of them
were old slabs. Bat we wish to state that
lumber had been provided for the seats,
plenty and to spare, but almost at the last
moment the good people decided to
"swing'' the ceiling in the new church,
and was obliged to use a portion of the
| lumber provided for the seats at the ar
Dor, hence a few flooring planks had to
be used, but not a single slab. After the
| seats were brushed clean and supported,
and that they were comfortable was evil.
dent from the fact that they were filled
during 6aCu EGEflCe, aAu luo UCSl attou-
ton prevailed, which could not have
been the case had they been as you
say they were. The Baptist Courier,
dated August 5th, has this to say:
Union Church, with which the Associa-
ton met, is no: as strong as some Of the
| other churches, but the abundant way in
which they provided for the comfort of
the delegates and multitudinous visitors
| left nothing to be desired" And now
the good people say that you came down
here to gather fishes and loaves, or, in
| other words, to mako money, and that
that you failed, hence your article last
| week. However, we have no i'll will to-
