You did not know that I made por-
ton by going to Arkansas neltherdid l.,

Our Sunday school was not a failure
as some supposed it would be, nor will
it be shortly unless your correspondent
and the children are not we'll or cannot
get to the church house.
Yes, it rained all night Thursday and
Friday.
We saw the leg of a sheep lying in
the road halfway up the new road Sat-
urday morning. Some dogs were after
sheep near the johnson road near the
top of the mountain. Mrs. Eakin's lit
tie girl heard the sheep bell. Look
out for dogs after this. Even buzzards
may die after this.
Willie Curtis and Alb Cannon went
out awhile the other night and caught
a big opossom. tell you they stepped
high as it was about their first hunt.
1t rains and it halls and is cold stormy
weather,
In comes the spring to make it all
better,
Stir the land and pop the whip,
Don't stay too long on the setter.
Did YOU ever see a man that really
wanted to die? What? ! did. For he
asked me for corkscrew to draw his
last breath.
We were over at Mr.. Burroughs
To comfort him awhile,
But the lonely old fellow wore smile.
We sympathize with him at home or
abroad,
Wo hope he will continue to trust in
the Lord
A few more years at most he'll enter
Canaan's land,
There to meet Mrs. Peggy and take
her by the haRd,
There to shout with angels forever
There his feelings and heart will not
hurt am sure.
SO may he live and never, never tire,
And with health and comfort be con-
tented by the fire.
We had seven at Sunday school last
Sunday. | reckon tho rest don't want

Sunday week is the first Sunday, and
that is Bro. Hart's appointment at Bur
rough's Chapel. Every body is invited,

meeting that is the cause of such good.
There isn't much silk worn there. God
said: hath not God chosen the year OF
the world" Remember Lazarus and
the rich man. Yes, l am glad | am
poor rich in faith, and an heir Of the
Kingdom.
