EHRHARDT, March 9.-Rev Thomas
Leitch preached for us fifteen days, two
services each week day and three on Sun
day. We know that much good has been
ACCOMPLISHED. We are thankful that
preacher SO able and fearless as Bro.
Lcitch has been among US to awaken we
thoughtless people and cause us to aspire
to higher and nobler things. OF course
Bro. Leitch left few enemies; some men
Get mad when their wickedneSs is held up
and ridiculed Bro Leitch warned US of
this class of men and women. During
the seventeen years that he has been
going up and down the earth preaching
he has learned much of human nature.
Now that Bro. Leitcl has gone to preach
elsewhere, we see the good that lives
after him. A prayer meeting has Deen
organized to be held in the Methodist
church every Thursday evening. Old
Sister Bosch, too, we find is just such a
character as he described, | presume 1t
was she that told Bro. Leitch all about
her neighborS' bad habits and our wicked
merchants who run blind tigers. Said
she could punch pointers eyes out ana
then point him to three blind tigers IN
our little town land bless your soul
there amt one in the place.) She goes
to her neighbors and talks and talks and
saws in semi whisper, Have you heard
about MIR. Jones?" Her good neighbor
remembers that few weeks ago Sister
Bosch told her how poor Mr.. Jones had
slipped up and got drunk, but Mr.. Jones
family was keeping it quiet as Jones De,
longed to the church and had promised
his wife not to do so again: The good
neiehbor replying says: "Well! Well d!
isn't it too bad; has Jones been drunk
again, and he has such good wife, too"
Sister Bosh: No, no, that's not 1t. MIS-.
cunningham says she can't keep them to
board any longer after this month IS out;
that they (Mr. and Mrs. jones' are only
paying her 5000 per month and II they
want to stay on any longer they will have
to pay $500 each. Mr.. Jones is such an
extortioner; l hear people say he charges
such awful prices for his goods" Poor
Mr.. Jones; he knows nothing about all
this until his month is up, but Sister Bosch
had told half the people in town; and,
hear me, if you want to get the news or
the town Just 60 to Sister Bosch, the big,
fat, old thing. Brother Leitch says she Is
in every community.
