We saw in the Burroughs Chapel
writing an excuse for not coming to
meeting Saturday nignt at our house
If the public wanted it clear why did

say SO. There are too many excuses

if the people would MT have 80 many
excuses, or idle their time away.
On Saturday night the 3rd of March
was 10 have been preaching but d id not

prevented him for he is like a bulldog
! to hold to his promise. There w~r,
present seven besides our family out of
about thirty-seven. Mrs. Ellie, Willie
and Elizabeth Curtis, Fred Campbell,
! Burtle, Nora and Sarah Mccullough and
our family was the crowd. Well, we'll,
we'll.
We have often wondered how f. NJ
Mccullough managed to get as fine a
woman as ha did, though after seeing
him shaking hands in Jasper Saturday
with a smile on him as long as u fence
rail, we caught on. Every body
seemed to be his right hand bower.
That is right Francis Stick to the race
like you did while sparkling Mrs, Nc
Cullough and you will be the sheriff of
Marion County.
Albert Cannon and Wiley Curtis have
