Rev. Sam p. Jones is respOn-
sible for the following philoso-
ply, which the Rambler produces
here for the benefit of those who
think as he thinks:
"History teaches US that what
ever a nation has made it's idol
at last it has fallen under it's idol
and died. Greece localized her
life and centralized her entire
being in literature, and at last
poor old Greece turned up her
toes and died under a Book.
Rome centralized her whole life
in her military power, and moth
ing but a spear to-day marks the
final resting place of Rome.
America has centralized her life
and power on the dollar, and we
will lie toes upward under the
silver dollar some future day. We
have exchanged our God for gold,
snapped our characters for chat
tells, and traded off our manhood
for money. We have inverted
Gods order of things and we
have dwindled into a nation oil
Klondikers. The country is full
of lawyers, doctors, politicians:
bankers, merchants, farmers,
preachers, ETC., but we have rur
short Of men,"
The Frog Pond preacher who
recently oHciated at a funera
which took place in that village
Sunday, and in the course of his
l remarks declared the soul tina
2 had gone out of the dead BODY
i. that lay before him was in Hades
has given rise to a discussion al

The Rambler was never more
surprised than when passing
through Frog Pond yesterday.
We saw one of the most worthless

raj village going down the street
with grubbing hoe on his shout
der and thought that he had at
last made up his mind (for it is
never too late to do good) to earn
his corr liquor and corn bread by
the sweat of his brow. The unus-
ual sight led US to make some in

found out he was only hunting

to mob law for they have yet to
learn how it is done in the

few days since a negro, Lewis
Peck was charged with assault
ing a little 6.year old Christina
Mas. The officers arrested
the fiend and when they learn
ed a mob was forming spirited
him away from the Jail. The
mob IN it's fury shot and killed
two persons and wounded doz-
en- more. When the mob found
their victim had flown they at
tackled the city City Hall with
dynamite and destroyed it and
the records that were worth
millions of dollars. The de-
