Bachman Chapel and Union Academy Chip,

Another sensation OF rape has oc-
CURED in the Jolly Street section. We
haven't as yet learned the particulars.
Mr.. Editor, we would like very much
to go the Fair, but you know how It is.
We are not rs blue as you think; what
we said is true.
Tho cotton crop is about all gath
cred. never knew tho farmers to be
AS near done picking this curly in the
fall In my life. But you know short
horse is easy curricd
In the beginning Of our letter last
week rs VIC addressed the people we
somewhat put tho cart before tho
horse, by saying gentlemen and ladies.
Now, MIR. Editor, you know that it is
right and proper that we should al
ways put the ladies in front. If thero
Is anybody on earth that have due re-
spect for it is the ladies, for if it were
not for the ladies God only knows what
would become Of us poor wrctchod
men. 1t is not altogether from igno-
rance that such little mistakes occur,
Mr.. Editor, and we always look to you
for correction, rs we hardly ever have
time to read over our articles after We
write them.
Day after day and week after week
wo read literature Of various kinds,
after which We think my, oh! the time,
study, thought and patience it takes to
write up all OF this. Whenever u per-
son becomes an editor or n newspaper
reporter, just that soon they set them
selves up before the public as target
to be shot ut. Yes, poor newspaper
men have Il hard road to travel, and
don't you forgot it. Some people arc
continually complimenting them while
others arc all the time criticizing wbet
they say. Newspaper reporters arc Il
very responsible set Of people. They
should always be very careful in what
they say and how they say it.. And
the people should thank them, not so
much for what they publish, but thank
them great deal moro for what they
don't publish. They should have
suficlcnt amo.Nt OF ambition to
strengthen their courage and speak
whatever they conceive to be right, let
the outside world frowr upon them as
much as they please. But large per
cent. of tho writer's nowadays write
more with the intention of pleasing
certain class OF people. The art of
pleasing has become very popular
idea among the people, and it is a very
necessary one to possess, but q very
difficult one to acquire. It can hardly
be reduced to rules, aud your own good
sense and observation will teach You
moro of it thnn | can. Always do as
you would hc done by is the surest
method that know OF pleasing. Oh
serve carefully what pleases you in
others, and probably tho same things
in You will please others. If you are
pleased with the complaisance and at
tcntion Of others, to you, depend upon
it, the same complaisancc and atten-
tion on your part will equally please
them. "IIcw to tho line and let the
chips fall where they please" is an old
maxim. We have been rubbing up
thoughts for the public for the past
twelve years, and we have always tried
to make this rule. But DR.. T.. says
the only objections he has to Chips is
they arc too small. Now, Doctor, we
know that our chips are small and they
may seem as nothing but saw-dust in
your estimation, but this 10 one OF our
misfortuncs, and while you arc u spil.-
itual leader In your church, we would
kindly ask you not to fall from your
profession. Remember that the Word
Of God teaches us not to dcspisc small
things.
The council Of Bachman Chapel has
extended a call to Rev. G.. p. Boozcr
to serve them again for tho next syn
odica) year. He has not yet accepted.
Rev. Boozer made many friends in our
section while he was with us. His SER
mons arc always sound, plain, practi-
cal and full OF interest.
Look here, Kay, SEQ that You use
the same prcrogative that's always
allowed to every newspaper man-pub-
lish just such news as you want tho
people to know and lot the rest go.
Why didn't you tell us about running
your wheel over that colored woman In
town? We are proud to learn that
there was no serious damage done.
But possibly this explains the arrest
that was made few wcoks ago ut Pros
perity. Now, old friend, you say that
you have been trying to work mo up u
free ride for some time, but have failed.
We appreciate your efforts, old Bud,
and would like very much to enjoy a
free ride, but for gracious sake keep us
out the hands Of the sheriff, especially
while times are 80 hard. Wo thank
Editor Witherspoon for mailing us a
copy Of tho Advertiser. Always send
us copy, Brother, when you find that
my old friond is skipping tho news.
There Is disease existing in the
land Of Ncwbcrry which wo will mako
known later. The surest plan to cure
