The meeting at the Christian church,

and breaches some fine sermons. One
of his best was last Sunday. In speak
ing of ssback- biters,' he said they
would often throw their aprons over
their heads and run across the back

| While this is true, we don't think all
"back- biters'' belong to the female

back biters and there are far more
idle men in Laddonia than women
We have some men here who spend
