Mount Pleasant.

An interesting story comes from
Mount Pleasant, near Waycross. where
a great religious meeting has just been
been held. Nearly everybody in the
whole community had 'come oyer"
out one old man, an engineer, pulling
the throttle Of locomotive, was let
out.
Nearly everybody in that section
knows Oliver Tremble, who has run an
engine on the Brunswick and Western
road a long time. He was the man,
and when the preacher cornered him
on his engine he said: "Why couldn't |
Join your church right here, parson?''
The preacher said ne could, and pro-
ceeded right there and then to open
the door of the church. The old man
extended his greasy hand to the
preacher while his hand was on the
throttle and his eye upoh the rail-
The old man is over so.
