~ Hdu no meeting. IL makes us ieel Dau
to fail to meet on each Lordsdav. We
may be called a crank about obeying the
commandments of God. but we believe
that God will bless those that do his will
and live right.
Please announce that J. T. Jeffrey will
talk for the Dodson people again the grid
Sunday in June, if not providentially him
dered. He will talk on Baptism, and he
would be glad if everybody would come
out and hear him. We would like for all
Christians in reach to come out and organ
ize a church. Dodson people have a man
just west of them that would make a good
Elder. Bro. d. Rogers. Bro. Jimmie
Brock would be a good teacher also.
Say. good people, we are in a fine coun-
try. But we will die all the same, and we
should serve the Lord while he blesses us
with life.
Say. Mr.. Editor, we are going to try
for a water melon crop. Come over and
we will give you all the water melons you
can eat. We sent to Texas after some
tomato plants, and if we can get them to
live. we will give you some tomatoes.

front by and by.

p. S.
This is a supplement to my letter as |
failed TO mail it. | wanted to tell OF the
interest tina, is taken in educational affairs
in this section, and you will be surprised
at the number of children that are in this

have any children at all. he should be in
