JAS. and Osmond Lewis left Mon
day for Jackson to attend the Culpep-
per meeting
The Woman's Home Mission society
will meet at @. J. Tanners at 8
O'Clock on Thursday, the 18th inst.
We hear DR.. Walter Noble is well
pleased with his location near Goshen,
La, and is doing quite we'll. Good.
Robt E. Lee, of Goshen, La, is
visiting his mother and family. He
expects to return to Louisiana in ten
or twelve days.
DR.. Noble has ginned to date, Sep
TENDER 8, about forty bales of cotton.
Brother Walter Smith is running the
gin, Will Horn having given up his
job.
The meeting at the Baptist church
closed Sunday evening with four new
members by baptism and profession of
faith and two by letter and one by
restoration.
DR.. Webb, of whom mention was
nade in last weeks dots, recovered
from his sick spell in time to preach
three or four good sermons. God
bless the Baptists.
Misses Nettie, Ina and Willie Lynn
Sides, of Little Rock, Ark, left for
home on the 3rd inst, after spending
nearly three months with the family
of Mrs. DR.. Lee and others.
Brother Lewis wants all the Meth
odists of Fannin church, and others,
to be at church here the third Sunday
in this month. He wants to tell
them why we are Methodist
Brethren Shepherd and Webb left
here for their home in Clinton Mon
day morning. They spent ten days
here in the interest Of the church.
God bless the brethren and guide them
into all truth.
Brother Lewis returned Monuay
from Providence and Holly Bush
where he held forth Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. He received into the
church while gone, nine members;
four by baptism, five on profession of
faith.
Our good Baptist brethren were put
to just little Inconvenience in pro-
curing hole of water deep enough in
which to immerse their new men,
bers. Why not build baptistry in
the rear of the pulpit like they do in
cities?
Your correspondent spent last Sat-
urday night two miles north of Holly
Bush. Sunday morning about five
o'clock the report of gun was heard,
and about eight O'Clock another report
was heard in the same direction, viz
north of where he was. Upon in
quiry he was told that it was no I'M
common thing to hear reports of guns
in that direction on Sunday; and that
certain parties were seen quite often
on Sunday with gun in hand suppos-
ed to be hunting game of some sort.
This is all wrong 1t is a positive
violation of law. Law breakers
ought not be allowed to go unpun-
ished in a civilized country like
ours. Hunting and fishing ON Sun
day is getting to be too common.
A man told your correspondent not
long since, there were. five hundred
men in this county who were deter
mined to put a stop to cow stealing
in the county, even if they had to
resort to Winchesters and hemp. 1t
is not necessary to resort to such
measures. Just let our grand juries
do their duty; then let the court see
that the law is properly executed,
then let the governor keep his hands
off until the guilty parties serve their
time out on the farm, IN the state
prison, or on the chain gang or pay
the penalty what ever it may be. We
have good country, we have good
laws, we have a good judge and we
have many good people. Let us be
law abiding people. r
