last week and pitched their tent Tues
day and commenced to preach. There
came some Is or 20 men, 8 or 10 wo
men and one colored woman all
preachers, we suppose. They have
been preaching since for the whites,
until Monday night, when they held a
service for the negroes (specially),
after which they took down their tent
and most of them left Tuesday for
parts unknown to Us. They preach
against everything that is not fire
baptized" Every church and church
member who is not lire baptized" re
ceives the wrathy excavations of these
fire" preachers. They preach against
the eating of hog meat, wearing mus
taches, neckties, jewelry and fine
clothing. One OF their favorite pray
ers was for "God to kill the hog meat
eating devils, the mustache wearing
devils, the tobacco chewing devils, the
snuff dipping devils, the tame holiness
devils, etc" Some of them confess to
having been in Jail for various causes;
