Mr.. Editor:-Not seeing tho news
from the place Of all places (Caroline's
Chapel) in the columns Of the newsiest
paper in the world, and supposing our
old correspondent to be either married
or dead, beg leave in modest way to
fill the vacancy caused by tho absence
Of tho news from ovsr here in your pa
per. You know, Mr.. Elitor, that every
body like to see their name in print and
when we get our paper and see the
names of everybody but us. it makes us
feel bad. So just told John ! was go
ing to write up the news once, and il il
come out in print like l wrote IT, ia
just keep writing. l know, Mr. Editor,
that this is the first time we hayN ever
been guilty of neglectng the News for
so long, but pea picking tater-dggin'
and Sich like come on us all at once, and
we jest didn't have time. So if you'll
"scuse" us this time we'll never do so
any more.
Ethel, little daughter of G. Lsyne, is
seriously i'll.
Dr. Gott, Of Inman, was in our midst
Saturday on professional buainess.
MIR. j. C. Gross, of Victoria, passed
through on bike" one day last week.
You can see Life Insurance Policies
passing through the air now.
A little son of Mr.. Tom Billingsley
had the misfortune to break his arm

So that several of our good people are
out of a job
Mr.. Henry Chambers and wife, of
Chattanooga, Mr.. Luther Chambers and
wife from Georgia, we're visiting in our
community last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Queer, Mr.. and Mrs.

Thursday night but we had that crowd
just the same. Good people, we may
have box supper noxt year ~ SO got

Our community has two good Sunday
schools and still all the people do not
attend. The grown people seem to have
an idea that Sunday school is not for
them but for the children. And even
then the children do not attend as they
should. Objections are found to those
| ,instaking citizens who are willing to
go and spond a couple of hours in In
structing the children in the study OF
the Bible. Fault is constantly being
found in the work and still those fault
finders are not willing to go there and
help remedy their faults If there be any.
Parents, do you not realize it is your
duty to your child to take it to Sunday
school and send it to school every day?
If you child grows up to be ignorant
and is disgrace to itself and the coun-
try, you have only yourself and not the
instructors, who willingly do all they
can for your child, to blame.
Mr.. Editor, as this is my first attempt
at telling tho news, will close, fearing
this may find a final resting place in the
waste basket. John told me hadn'
writ half enough and l told him If l wal
to write every thing l know thon
"storekeepers" over at the Peoples
Store would have to leave out their ad
vertisements and knowsd that would
never do, cause people of other place
might not find out about the m big bar
gains they speak about You know
Mr.. Editor, that your paper is the onl.
means we have of letting people know
everything, and told John it wouldn'
be fair for me to take up too much space
+ Very respectfully,
: MARANDA SPRoCKETT.
