time while others did not enjoy it 10 very
much. IL cost them moro money than
they expected. Friend, when you want
To sec everything and have big time
yon must not forget 1t that pocket book
and something in 1t on such occasions as

Nothing Is more enjoyable than to visit

present and long past time that has gone
to- never return again.

There are more deaths and sickness in
and near this place and nearly every
where than we ever heard OF be-
fore. 'Fhis community alwayn has been
blessed with good and enjoyable health
until recently. We have lost some OF our
best friends, and it seems as if we will
have TO witness more, provided we should
be alive ourselves, aud those who are not
sick are grunting powerful at times.
Well, Mr.. Editor, we have but few wa
terrnelons at the present time, but il is
almost leisure time and we will have to
make a raid on some ono else and pro-

meetings. reunions, etc, and what q
glorious time we are expecting to have
now soon.

he who Is ashamed OF his friend is
faithful friend to be ashamed of.
think the nearby church members Of
this place are neglecting their duty
towards Keeping the doors and windows
fastened. Any one can pass any time of
day or night and find the doors wide open
and windows up, and that is the reason
their organ is in such a bad condition. /
think If Mr.. McGee knew the condition
1t is kept in he would make some new
arrangements.
The prOtracted meeting will commence
at this place next third Sunday. Let
every body prepare for it and let us live
bstter in the balance Of our days and not
be summer Christians and winter devils.
The pic mic at Carswell Institute last
Friday was a most enjoyable one with
the young people, but not 80 very much
with the old students and to the ones that
wont principally to hear the speaking. as
there were no speakers there. But that
Gid not make cry difference With ue, as
we "ll were secret speakers, and what a
lime we can not begin to tell. And now
we are expecting to have another big
time at the same place on August 10Th.
1t will not fool you. DITTO.
