1 guess Cousins Gypsy n
U-Know have departed for parts
unknown, as we saw or heard moth
ing from either last week. They
have been planning for some time.
John Barleycorn was the most
prominent one in the group of
cousins on the first page of The
Commercial last week. One would
Judge from the way he sits reared
back that he must have been think
ing about his apple jack and red
table cloth.
The widow Cyclone and her or
phan children are contemplating
visit to Union City next Sunday
morning and have promised Cy-
clone he could accompany them pro-
vided he will behave himself and
when dinner is announced that he
will not make his dinner off OF bald
faced pies, ice cream and cake, and
we are going to promise any old
thing until we are invited out to
dinner and then, like mischievous
boy, will betray our trust and fill
up on what suits us.
Our mind is full of many things
this morning that would not do to
tell, yet it is the very thing that
should be told because the truth
should always be known, no matter
who it concerns, but you know it is
unpopular to be truthful, honest,
plain common people. Did you
ever stop and look at things
as they pass you every day? Do
you see things that get in front of
you? Are you an observer of hui
man nature? If you are you know
many curious things. We find
good people among all classes and
in all communities and in all
churches, hut some of the worst
drawbacks we have are some of the
most pretentlous. Some of the best
people we know are leaders in the
church and society and some of the
most contemplate ones are of the
same class. A man or woman that
has so much sense that it makes a
simpleton of them are to be pitied
because they have no more gump-
ton. Preachers are required to be
no better than any one else, but
are expected to live lives in har-
mony with their calling. A preach
er should be very careful how he
acts, what he does, says and his
general conduct You know there
10 saying that preachers children
are \, 5rse than other children.
don't believe this; they may be as
bad. A man that breaches and
spends his entire time showing
other people how to live, act and
what to do, should be very careful
what he does himself. The world
will be christianized when people |
become christians, but treacherous
people are like rogish COW, go
rowing around the country tearing
down fences behind the brow of her
good cowship. Give us conscien-
tious, common sense people in the
church, in politics, in business al
fairs and in our homes and we will
become better and the world viii /
move forward as it has never before
and never will until these things
take place. There is plank in the
platform of the people that should
be removed-the almighty dollar
money in preference to virtue, hon.
esty, truthfulness, christianity,
citizenship and humanity. There
is room for reform in all classes.
Let us have it and the victory is
ours.
