Empire, Ala.

SbeiaI 10 The Nc50s.
We are having regular spring wealth
er here at Empire. The trees are be-
ginning to put out their green foliage,
and the birds are singing their pref
test songs. Now if old Jack Frost
doesn't come and spoil the whole PIC
ture we will be all right.
| saw in the News recently that
"Black Eye, of Empire, said that the
reason there was no preaching on sun
day morning and night was that the
preacher had no place to stay, which
was a very bad mistake. If BLACK
Eye" would get out of the family cir
Gle in writing items of Empire, she
would know more about things and
would not make such mistakes. The
reason was that all of the church-go-
ing members were either sick or alb
sent, and were not able to attend SER
vices, so the minister went back home.
We have as good people at this place
and show as much hospitality as any
where in the south. We will take
care of any preacher, regardless OF ms
faith, something that some people VIII
not do. We hope "Black Eye won t
make any more mistakes like this one
