sharpen up my old pencil and write a
few items for the readers Of our splend-
ed weekly visitor, the News, although
important news items are scarce III
our community, as everybody tries to
"sorter" attend to their own business
and do not interfere great deal with
other folks business, and only talk to
each other about their neighbors lit
tie, but you know that is one of our
great faihngs.
Our Sunday school is still progress
ing smoothly along. Hope, if we are |
not doing great deal of good, we are |
doing no one any harm, but | am very !
sorry to say that the people of this |
community take such little interest in
our Sunday schools We do hope that
they will carefully consider the great
necessity of the good work that might
be accomplished in the Sunday School
work, and turn out and do all they can
for the up-building and accomplish
ment of our community. There is
work for us all to do and we should be
very careful to do our duties, as we
are all going to be held accountable for
our actions while we are here in this
old sin-stained world. We are con-
fronted on every hand by sinners with
their sinful ways, and we are com
manded to reprove and rebuk6 sinners
lin their sinful works and ways where
ever and whenever we see them with
"all long sufferings. Our superln-
tendent, W. c. Moore, has only fail
ed to be at his place one Sunday since
we started our Sunday school anew last
February, and our assistant superin-
Uendent d. NJ. Griffith, has only miss
ed about three Sundays, Why, oh why
could not, and why did not teachers
and students respond as promptly as
the leading ones2 We do hope and
trust and pray that from now on, the
attendance will be better.
It grieves us no little to think that
we had to give up one of our old Sun
day schoolmates, towit, James Lewis,
= who died at Victoria Sunday week,
and was buried at Sardis the following
day. Jim was born and raised here in
=, our community within one mile Of the
Chapel. He was the fourth son OF
d Robert and Bette Lewis. Jim was a
J. good, clever boy, and was liked by all
g who knew him, but, alas, we are
y dropping off, one by one, and we can
o rest assured our time is coming sooner
u or later. Then what will the end be-
d The health of our communityais very
good at present. The last reports we
had from Mrs. Daniel Pitman was that
she is considerably improved in health.
Mrs. Pitman has been in very baC
,e health for several weeks. Glad t.
se hear of her Convalescence.
re Madam Rumor has it that Geo. IL
m Lewis has sold his premises and is go
,x,s 10 laaxya sottlpnnnf We
Q. sorry to lose George and his amiabl'
Id family. He is teacher of class No.
is in our Sunday School and will be miss
ed. He also has four very intelligen
little girls that have been very regula
, attendants in our Sunday school, ant
,,s of course, their seats will be vacant.
le We have some visiting in our vicini
he ty sometimes. Uncle Silas McNab
a, and good lady visited their sons owe
nd at their old home place on the othe
al side of Tennessee river. Sunday, ant
