many more happy years.
G. r.. Weideman, the daddy OF
Boyce. favored me with quite long
talk and ] found him to be a most
interesting gentleman. He is a jolly
German and has lots of bees and poui-
try. He has been at Boyce 80 yearr
and came from the ''old country"
in 1864 Two years ago he went
back to the ''fatherland" and told me
OF meeting his sisters whom he had
not seen for 81 years. AS the old
fellow would talk of those who loved
him long ago, his chin would tremble
and the ell-tale-tears would glisten
in his eyes, but, when people tell you
of such things as this. why-I just
| cry too, ! can't help 1t.
John Williams came to this coun-
| ty from Dallas county. His chill
/ dren were having chills. He was
about up with his work and was
taking life easy. Dave Stewart was
moving the weeds from his meadow.
He has nice place and is living well.
His father-in-law. Rev. w. Denning-
| ton. and little niece, Minnie Coplen,
| live with him. Rev. bennington is
i suffering from a stroke of paraly
| sis but is improving. He is Bap-
list preacher and has been for 45
years. ] hope he may soon be fully
recovered and able to attend the
| big meetings next year. Mrs. Stew

used to know Scott Turnipseed
years ago in Navarro county
] nighted with him and We
talked about old times and
mutual friends. That night we
went to hear Rev Jesse Smith
preach. Uncle Jess. as we all call
him. is most wonderful man. What
he knows about theological rTitis
and homoleyieal flowers may not be
much. but he can call things by their
right names and says Just what he
thinks Whenever he breaches he
always draws a large crowd.
| will give you few of hts say
ings as ! got them from his sermon
that night His sermon was on the
"Prodical Son He says. There
Is not a promise between the lids Of
the Bible to the disobedient boy or
girl" AS long as a fellow has
money he has friends. THE devil
promises us a whole lot but not one
thing does be promise beyond thus
life" Some jugs are smaller than
others. hence some people get
enough Of the truth quicker than
others" You say YOU don't like
my way of preaching and doing. Well,
| don't like your way either Aren
we eyen?" Uncle Jess Is a fayorite
with US all. and when he Is gone for
ever Ii can be said OF him: That
a man in Israel has fallen.
