teal. | will be ready to receive
and receipt for taxes from the 1st

fore March /, 1908, will have their

For weeks we have been anx-
ious to run an accumulation OF
clippings we have taken bearing on
the Christless attitude of Taft's re-
ligion, as candidate offering for
the highest office in the gift of the
American people, and make some
comments at length thereon, but
so far other requirements on space
have pressed out this expectation.
Possibly we shall present it in our
next issue. 1t will be hunk of
hot stuff. This is Christian ma
tion and it does not seem, that at
this of all other times, the idea
would be tolerated of putting at it's
head, one who fails to subscribe
to the divinity Of the founder of
that faith; the one Divine man,
Jesus Christ, who walked as he
taught, and was in one sense half

The Annual Sweetwater Meeting.

The Annual Meeting at Sweet
water Baptist Church convened on
the night of September 25th and
continued until the next Friday
October the End with series of
sermons cosisting of fifteen in all.
Ministers present: Rev. R. w.
Brooks, the pastor in charge, and
Revs. w. E. Fendley and P. G.
Hillman. Bro. Brooks stated that
he had secured Bro. Fendley of
Chunky, Miss. to do the preaching,
which he did in a most elaborate
manner to the entire satisfaction of
all present.
Bro. Brooks PASTORAL term be-
ing up, he stated that he could not
serve the church longer on account
of other fields that he chose 20 Ia
Dor in. The church is always sorry
to lose men of Bro. Brooks make
up, but we trust hat his labors will
bear fruit in the future like they
have for the past year, which is a
record that any man of God should
be proud of; upwards of 140 con-
verts have been claimed by the
Baptists under Bro. Brooks preach
ing and Cody pursuasions.
We are grieved to have Bro,
Brooks from among us but highly
elated that we have been so fortu-
nate as to secure the services OF
Rev. w. E. Fendlev for the ensue,
ing year, who comes to US so highly
recommended, with the evidence
that he is one of Gods chosen. Thi.
was plainly manifested during the
meeting in which were claimed L
by baptismals toSweetwater Baptist
Church. We feel that much anc
lasting good has been done by the
Meeting of days. We hope to soor
have Rev. Fendley move into oul
community with his family, anc
be a resident citizen with US
There is always room for one more
such family. We feel that the
spirit of brotherly love and Chris.
tian fellowship is always strength
ened by the association of sucf
men.
Last, but by no means least, how
happy it made US on arriving al
church house to find our fatherly
old Brother P. G., Hillman haG
beaten everybody there to GRASP
everybody by the hand greet them
with smile and say that he was
still living on Dor owed time and
the Lord still blessing and taking
care of him" O, may the Lord
still preserve and keep US during
another year that we may have an
other such meeting.

Make your homes pleasant to your

of unemployed marching through
the country. In America every So
Der, Industrious. honest young man
can find employment. He may have
to accept of an humble calling, but
will rapidly climb the ladder. LAS
the twiQ is bent the tree is inclined"
and it is the homes without pleas
ures or happiness that sends the
children upon the streets in search
of a more congenial atmosphere than
they find beneath the parental roof.
There are none of us so poor but
we can train a few roses on the
humble wall and their scent and
beauty will long be remembered,
and many boy, instead of going
to loaf upon the public highway
will linger at home among the flow
ers. Moral degradation always be-
gins at home. Honesty is never
gained or lost suddenly or by acct
dent, but idleness feeds upon it and
will, in time, use up the last YES
tage. The happy home, be it
cottage or a mansion, furnishes no
recruits for an army of unemployed.

Evidently the aggressive cam
psign being waged by Democracy,
has thrown the Republican party
into a scare, hence the epistular
efforts of some of its chiefs to re-
feet discredit upon our great stan
dard bearer and some of the lesser
lights Of the party. There's a ring
of sincerity about that maxim of
Bryan's LET the People Rule, "
that appeals to the untrammeled
American masses, as the means to
institute to rid themselves of plu-
toeratic dominion. The monied
interests Of the Nation have grown
to law defying sizes, and need to
have a firm administration to leg
islate them into obedience. Dem

After services conducted Sunday

the Leakesville Baptist Church sat
' in a business conference. I. ].
Briscoe and G. B.. Blalack were e.

ant Hill Oct, 1908. Rev. w. E.
Fendley was called as pastor of the
church for the ensueing pastoral
year, the engagement of Rev. CIV.
Rainier this year being only tenta-
tive at his request. Fendley was
also called to serve Sweetwater,
McLain and Fellowship Baptist
churches, which will necessitate his
moving on the work.. He will do
this sometime in November, select
ing Leakesville al his residence

Rainier will remove to Jasper Co.
where he has been wanting to re-
turn for quite awhile, but could not
get released satisfactorily from his
labors. Rev. Mr.. chatham of New

cross, preached Sunday Morning

his instance. His subject was
