Cheer up.
What right have you to carry a
funeral in your face? The world
has troubles of its own.
Cheer up and change your
point of view.
You can't? Nonsense. Your
point of view is largely a matter
of habit. Quit looking for the
dark side Of things. Your happl-
ness or misery is in your own
hands. School yourself to see the
silver lining OF the clouds about
your life.
Cheer up.
Your ills are mostly imaginary.
AS the old woman said, she had
worried all her life "mostly about
things that never happened"
You are borrowing trouble and
paying a high rate of interest.

When we came to this part of
the country there was no regular
preaching here, but 1 think thai
in the year 1647 the Rev. Henry
Bone, a Presbyterian minister,
moved into this country, settling
in lizard county, about eight
miles west of here. He would
preach some through this section
when ne could secure permission
to do 50 in some private resi-
dence, for there were no church
or school buildings here. 1t was
rather difficult, too, to get a house
to preach in, for dwellings were
generally very small, with just
enough room to house the family,
and scarce of seats of any kind.
But later this part of the country
was placed in the bounds of the
Salem, Fulton county, Methodist
Mission, and this mission sup
piled with preacher. He had
his regular appointments, at pri-
vate residences, and arrange
ments were made accordingly.
"Grandpa" Moody had preach
ing at his home, as did Roby
Williams, Jesse Masters, Jack
Hodges and my father. These
places were used alternately to
suit the convenience of all parties.
The late much lamented Doctor
Andrew Hunter, the famous
Methodist minister of Arkansas,

counties and part of jackson.
The Methodist circuit rider would
leave his home and travel on the
hurricane deck of a horse, with
his library in one end of his sad
die bags and his wardrobe in the
other, preaching every day in
the month except Monday. Gen.
orally he would preach twice on
Sunday, and would travel hum
dreds of miles making his round
of the circuit each month. These
preachers were usually good,
jealous, hard. working, consecra-
ted, christian gentlemen, who

believe it was in August and
September of the year 1848 when
there occurred an emigration of
fox squirrels through this Sec
tion, passing from east to west.
These little animals came by the
thousands, and we had to guard
corn fields with guns, dogs and
boys to save the corn from being
destroyed by them. They would
be killed by the hundreds and
thrown away. have been with
a crowd of three or four boys, and
with dogs and rocks, we would
kill as many as twenty-five squir-
rels in a day. 1t was great sport
for the boys. On Sunday we
met in the woods and spent
the day killing squirrels, and
being afraid to let our parents
know how we had spent the day,
none were ever taken home.
Often women who were washing
clothes near a creek would kill a
dozen squirrels in day with their
battling paddles, striking them
as they swan the creek.
