CHRISTIAN LIFE.

Editor News | would like to say
few words on Christian life. 1t is so
sweet to live a christian and | know it
will be sweet when we come to die,
and I often think of the Scripture
where Christ chose the church for His
Bride. He has promised that He will
come to take us home. If we don't be-
long to him now we will not be with
Him in glory. The way to belong to
Christ is to keep His commandments.
How many church people keep the
commandments! We ought to let our
light shine that the lost might see that
the love of Christ is sweet and that He
is able to keep us from all sin.
The way to feel happy is to love the
Lord God with all our hearts and our
neighbOr as ourselves.
/ would like to hear word of com
fort concerning the life that they live
from christian writers. Let MS pray
for each other and live happy in a
Saviour's love for we only have few
| days in this world and we ought to
live true TO God, for if we gain the
whole world and lose our own soul
what will it profit us1 May the Bless.
ed Lord be with us all, is my prayer.

Mr. John Fl. Henderson and wife of
McMinnville, are Mt the Bragg Hotel.
Mr.. Henderson is here taking the
right of way for the new Chattanooga
and Nashville Railroad. He says they
are going to build the road Mr.. L.
B. McFerrin is showing him around.
Reports received here state that the
people of McMinnvilIe are confident
the road will be built Cannon Co.,
Courier,
This is the Inter-urban System of
electric railway which is surveyed to
pass down the north side of Little Sc
quachee River about one mile above
this city. The promoters have said
that great prospects are in store for
this place when the road is built, That
it will be headquarters for the system
and that lines will be operated up and
down the valley, cent9ring here. The
Blowing Spring will also be developed
into a summer resort. But it is all
prospective as yet, just as it was sew
eral years ago and perhaps as it will
be for several years more. We would
like for something good to happen to
this place, but it seems destined under
present conditions to never amount to
anything, and of course as the timber
gets scarcer the business of the handle
works will be cut short. Then what
will there be to continue the growth
of the "city?''
