DOUBT" {"

Isit true there's land that no eye hath seen A place where we're happy as when in dream, A place where the angels around a white throne Are singing and calling this pure place their
 home: Oh Say! Is it true if we toil on in tears We shall reach this sweet land in some future
 years, Where sorrow nor signing are never more
 heard, Where we all spend eternity with Jesus our
 Lord: And tell me my friends who in this believe, Shall we meet again thoeS who for long we
 have grieved; Shall we know them, and love them as in past Or is this sweet rapture too pleasant to last: And tell me if we don't believe in His word f we go on in Sin-never thinking of God Never reading His bible or praising His name, will we go on to heaven ejoicing the same: An. your answer to this know lean guess, oh doubting heart which throbs in thy
 breast; Look upward to Jesus who died on the tree For salvation of souls such as you and as me. On ask forgiveness for all your past sins, And tell Him youl serve Him till deathbe the
 end; And praise Him forever your friends help pre-
 pare. And all thy dear loved ones thy mansion may
 share.'' Oh. this is the answer you give OCT and OCT, Till hear it's echo from shore unto shore,- Wherever go my spirit is greved Because my soul answers I can not believe |" Oh teach me to know to confess and to love The goodness of God and my Savior above May only believe and conhdingly rest With his love in my heart and my head on his
 breast.

And now comes forth Dr. Koch the eminent discoverer. and claims to have discovered that the sO-much- talked of Bo- vine Tuberculosis that has been said to be transmitted to the peO- pie the world over by the use of milk of diseased animals is all a farce. As change is the order of the day, what one age damns it's successors often defy and vice-yersa. What one inveStiga- tor discovers to be just the thing another comes along and proves the falacy of it. This world cer- tainly do move. And as the Moor of Veniceintimated, there $ such a thing as knowing entirely too much, During our short ca reer we have always been fond of milk and have never, that we know of, extracted any tuberculo- sis fungi out of milk. It is amaz- ing how many pseudo-scientists are always on the alert, looking for some awful discovery with which to frighten the poor, de luded world. We thank Dr. Koch for proving the falacy ot the milk distributing tuberculo- sis fungi.

A LITTLE SPIEL.

Clyde Scales of Memphis, who has been visiting in our neigh borhood for sometime past, Joe Blackwell and Clyde Shelton of Grays, paid this office a short visit Monday afternoon. Clyde is our friend proper, he having saved us from the loss of driv- ing whip while attending services at DeView one evening last week, and for which we herewith thank him. Right here we wish to say a few words concerning some few beings with whom it is a fad to frequent meetings, with the express purpose of creating a commOtiOn and raising hades with no other ideas and no thoughts but those inclined towards evil. Their eye is al ways on the alert for some smart, dirty, Irish trick that can be ex- ercised on the innocent church goer. He is possessed of an unlimited amount of unadulter- ated gall, audacity, impotence and nerve-a veritable eye for meanness. He ought to be os- tracked from society, being a menace to the welfare and good fellowship of community. The idea of thing, posing as a man, who has nothing in the world to do but to lay around in the dark, and like the thief, when the world is unconscious of his presence and at the same time

OUR CHOICE.

While it is yet early, and while the time for the people to decide upon a successor to JoIeso for the senate of the United States is yet some months off, it seems that the press of the state has already started the campaign ball rolling, even before the avowed candidates have formally started out to build up their poli- tical fences and lay their respec- tive virtues before the people. The efficacy and power of both gentlemen is a recognized fact both are possessed of the quail ties requisite for true statesman ship-and while we have nothing to say disparagingly of the gen tleman who's present term of of fee expires in 1903 and who has held office continually for the past thirty years, we believe the
 time is at hand that for the good

 should be made and we believe

cuts harness, takes the taps offof the axle of the buggies, takes a saddler and unsaddles him and at the same time unhitching some horse froma buggy and un- harnessing him and swapping" horses all unbeknowns to the seeker after salvation.
 Is it any wonder to anyone, when, after being filled with the holy spirit in a meeting, and, having been enraptured by the logic and sublime thoughts set forth by some divine, and who is almost persuaded and who is saying to himself mot tonight but tomorrow night | shall sure ly see God, is it any wonder that upon finding some other man s horse hitched up to the vehicle which is to carry him tohis hum ble home where he can more fully mediate upon the profound thoughts and divine truths just received, is it any wonder that we as a people should momen- tarily lose our religion, banish all thoughts of the Savior and allow bad thoughts to enter our minds and to supplant the thoughts of the world eternal, to say nothing of the expressions with which some, who are not so fully imbued with the spirit, rent the air. We who are so prone to sin.
 While it not our idea to cast any shadow upon the good peo- pie of DeView, where this gang seems to have it's headquarters, for it is but fair to state that they are not to blame for this disrep- utable and nefarious business. It is said the perpetrators do not reside in the immediate vicinity of DeView, but at the same time it is subject that needs airing. We know that the people of De View have done all they could, all in their power to suppress this evil. We are aware of the fact that a constable or deputy sheriff was stationed there to lay for the intruder and if possible to apprehend the miscreant and bring him to justice, but his at tempts were futile. We know that the people of DeView have always felt grieved over the abominable, detestably vile ac- tions of these cockney roosters. Time and again have we been requested to hold them up to the scorn of the people and time and again have we given it up as bad job. Our expressions on this subject come from the heart, we having had a bran new second handed whip cut in two somewhere near the center, but like the preacher with the hat, we feel thankful that the mutton headed nonenity placed the butt end back in the receptacle as a kind of trophy and for which we wish to thank his satanic-ape.
 While we do not know the doers of the "jokes," as these buffoons no doubt style them, neither do we care to know such feather weight goslings. While we have no ill feeling towards them, yet we can't see for the life of us, why these simpletons, who don't seem to know the way their time should be occupied, don t stay at home and nurse the baby, drive the calves and hogs out of the lot, or better still, tell their mothers to put them to bed. They are indeed penny wise. While we do not want to offend these would-be damphools, yet duty calls for a reprimand, and we hope that this little article will in feeble way show the parties engaged in this tomfool- cry what the people think ofsuch
