curiosity on the streets this week. He
reached tie city Tuesday, and on that
afternoon he preached on the streets.
He attracts the attention of every one
on account of his long hair. 1t hasn't
been trimmed in three years and it
floats freely over his back. We had
an interesting conversation with him
on Wednesday afternoon. He says
that the reason of his long hair is only
a matter of taste with him. that he Is
exposed much and it is somewhat Of a
protection to him. He is a Methodist
and goes about everywhere preaching.
He has spent much time within the
past year or so in the mountains Of
western North Carolina. His mountain
trip is frequently told by him and is
