Colony congregation was we'll sup
piled with young and able divines last
Sunday: Rows. H. A. Mccullough and
j. l.. Cromer both of the North
Carolina Synod, were present; also
Rev. John Long, Of the Seminary. We
had no special preference rs to who
would preach, in fact, would liked very
much to have heard sermon from all
three OF the young servants OF God. AS
Rev. Mccullough was at his old home,
he 9avc place to the others and took no
part in the services. The altar services
were conducted by Rev. Long and tile
sermon was preached by Rev. Cromcr.
AS he entered the pulpit he told the
cong veEation that he was glad to be
with them and he hoped to be able to
say something that would be OF some
interest to their spiritual welfare. His
text was: 1.-The Lord said unto Cain:
Where is Able, thy brother? And he
said: knowcth not; am my brothers
keeper" 1: Q. Rev. Cromer
mad preached but short while when
he had captivated the whole congrega
tion. The perfect silence and the
strict attention shown was evidence
that there was something more strik-
ing than mere curiosity. He made some
pointed illustrations in showing how
we are our brothers keeper, setting
forth the duties Of husbands to wives
and wives to husbands, fathers aud
mothers to children and children to
parents, pastors to congregations and
congregations to pastors: also how we
are our brothers keeper as neighbors.

good: for instance, those who give aims
and bcst"w charity of any kind show
neighbOrly kindness and are counted
good people, and very often true Chris
tians. But at last, God knowe,h the

said: The one who docth good for tho
sake Of good and expects neither
honor, praise or worldly gain, will be
the one accepted in the kingdom of
heaven. Rev. Cromcr is young man
OF more than ordinary talent, and what
makes his sermon tho moro effective.
he shows that his heart is in the mat

Small poX is reported in the Pomaria
section We learn that petition !s Oh
lis rounds looking to have the ballast
PIT near Pomaria closed. This Is moth
ing more than right. The people should
use every means available to keep the
disease from spreading.
We thank you Bro. Kay for your kind
invitation to sit in your cooler. We
will be out soon and you can just en-
pcct to "set en- up" Last night We
thought Of your cooler. We were so
very hot that we rolled and kicked,
fused and grumblcd, got up, went out,
drank water, got among the yaller dogs,
and they swapped us few of those
black things which generally inhabit
dogs. What do you call them KAY?
Hopping Johns, reckon, for I know
that they made old Chips hop from
then until day. Say, Kay, have you
got any such animals out at town?
lnasmuch as Tho Herald and News
thinks that there is n possibility or at
least probability OF there being three
factions in the political field this year,
we propose to harmonizo the matter II
possible, for in the face Of a war stir
wo arc in no fix to have political stir.
The solution of tho matter which I
shall offer think Is u fair one and no
fa:r-mindcd person can object. n there
Is TO DO license, a prohibition and a
dlspensary faction, SEQ no other way
TO como to terms in tho matter but to
go back TO tho equal division plan. But
some might think or say, how can we
make an equal division where there aro
three factions? Now, this Is my plan:
nominate for tho House of Represen-
tatlves, tho Hon. E. II. Aull, editor of
The Herald and News, to represent the
licenso faction; tho Hon. r, II. Creme.
kcr, editor Of The Observer, to repro
sent the prohibition faction; and the
Hon. j.. '. Capers, editor of The Voice
OF the People, to represent the dispcn-
sary faction. Now Editors, go to work
and settle these matters between your.
selves and let us country folks alone.
Please don't say anything that will
create friction.
The dry spell has lasted just long
enough to do up the spring oats. I
think that the farmers will soon realize
the fact that spring oats and fruit
agents won't do to fool with.
There is fountain, (this sounds like
that blessed good old hymn), but I'm
not going to speak OF that fountain
