. o".o' oiio Sooi llnlc, Wlell ne
can sit back.in the shade, eat water
melons and look out at the fresh
and growing crops, lol around with
his good wife and babies, go to big
meetings and have good time
generally. All this we enjoy and
are thankful that the Lord has so
blessed us.
| Ills true, we have had tight
times with the grass for the last
three months, when grassy fields
lay out before us demanding our
attention. 1t seemed that we would
have a hard time in clearing it UP,
but now we are out and cotton
bringing fancy prices. We ought
to be happy and glad it hasn't been
any worse.
| Now let us all 60 to church and
get good and stay that way, fill our
souls with best wishes and love one
another, especially the good women
that have toiled and had the good
dinners ready when the fathers and
sons get hungry. With the baby
In her arms they often have to
stand over the hot stove and cook
the good meals, but Mrs. Jack says
she enjoys all that, SO it pleases
me and the babies, but we would
enjoy it better if she would take
better care of herself. We know
what time we have when she gets
sick, the piggets in the churn, cat
in the butter, biscuit burn and the
baby falls about and we have a
time generally. Some are laughing,
some crying, but we try to be
merry. Our good friend and neigh
Dor that wears long beard comes
down and has a good conversation,
then everything gets calm. 1t is
great thing to have good neighbors
that will cheer. you up and make
you feel better.
| | thought had better say some
thing about our Sunday School con-
vention, but as some other has
given you an account of it L will
not say much. You failed to men
ton Mr.. Il. II. Cores speech in
your article, which l thought was
very interesting and eloquent. He
outlined Sunday School work gene
rally and referred to teachers that
had done good and lasting work on
that spot who have long since passed
over to the shores of eternal bliss.
/ don't know who is doing most for
the orphans and widows, the orphan
home or Mr.. Gore. The only trou-
bic with Mr.. Cores part, the men
don't dye quite fast enough, but
tits all good when it comes in. The
orphan home in my judgment is
the next place to heaven, on earth.
To have place to send little
motherless babe where it will be
cared for and trained up to useful
ness is certainly grand institution.
j Let us stay out of the dispensary,
let alone so many cold drinks and
send it to the orphan home where
it will be a help to them and
blessing to us all. Remember some
body had to train us to what we
are today, and you know some of
us didn't get much.
Jonesville town and township is
on a boom" now. Our friend,
Brother B. w. Whitlock, has just
put up good store where you can
get most anything you may need in
the way of bought" living. Mr..
, Whitlock is a useful man, good
farmer and a good church men,
bcr We wish for him great sue
cess in his store. Jack is always
glad to see the country growing.
Let us have more enterprise, more
improved farmers and homes, bet
ter schools, churches and roads.
The roads are something that need
our attention at once. ! move that
Jonesville be set off as separate
county, anyway, as we can get a
representative, and Godfrey be ap-
, pointed sheriff and Billie Judge.
: am sorry to state that we have
some fever in our town and coun-
try. Mr.. E. F. McWhirtcr, Mr..
, Jim Gore and Miss Lizzie Whitlock
have all had fever but are all doing
, well. Mrs. j. w, Scott is also
! suffering with throat trouble, whio h
we hope will not prove fatal.
