Tracy City.

Special to!tAe Mezg.
leave this morning for Pineset and
if find paper and pencil may write
up the doings of the Cove-ites.
There is a graveyard cleaning today
and dinner on the ground at Oak
Grove.
Bro. N. b. Brown has held fine
revival at Oak Grove-one of the best
in years. The church is hundred per
cent. better than it was.
Henry Handy is at home from Whit
we'll, and reports one of the greatest
meetings he was ever in. Well, when
men invest their money, time and tai
ents into a thing like those Whitwell
people have done in the Tabernacle
services, it means success. All people
who want a successful revival can
have it bv investing and making sacri-
fees for it, Those people up at Whit
well, as l have said before, are all big,
clever, open. hearted people, and mean
something. Why Ed Bull, John Ben
nett and the Holloway boys were so
enthused over the prospect of the meet
ing even before it began that victory
was certainty, so here's to them. l
am glad the christians are getting bus
y all along the line. We are planning
for great meeting here later on.
What the people want they can have.
Prof. Will Campbell and Miss Edith
Ponders are teaching one of the best
schools at Mars Hill that has been
there in long time. Miss Charlotte
Merritt is doing splendid work in the
Landlord school. l haven't visited
the Pryor Ridge school taught.by Miss
es Raulston and Harris, but from the
reports of patrons, they are doing fine.
Work remains dull here. Still the
people live One great help is the
timber. which is quite great big
thing.
Jack Hensifer, of Texas. has been
here visiting his sister, Mrs. r. I.
Myers
Mrs. John May wants her sister,
Mrs. Brown Condra, of Cedar
Spring, to write occasionally. She
sa id Mrs. Condra told her she always
looked for 'Uncle TOMS letter
first. Well. 'Uncle Tom likes that
and appreciates compliments as well
as a girl about 16 likes to catch beau.
He is not too old nor too sour and sell
fish to enjoy kind words.
Lots of people up here like the News
and some regret losing out by negli-
gence. Well, settle up and start anew
is the idea.
Mrs. Sam Bryant's father is here on
a visit, nice intelligent gentleman
to all appearances, but like many 9TH
ers don't understand his "Uncle Tom"
all the time. He kinder thought I
was for and against the preacher at
Whitwell. No, in writing on general
titles no one must understand me that
way. Not so very long ago so-called
preacher was arrested and accused of
stealing, and that is why I insist that
every man who wants to preach at
home or abroad should have some sort
of Recommendation from good citi-
zens. 1t would save quite lot of en-
barrassment. / want all men who
would preach the gospel to be endorsed
by the people where they reside. An
other preacher + knew stole horse
and ran away with mans wife.
Now, I hope you understand my reas-
ons for firing on tramp preachers and
you all know Of the escapade of Faulk
ersOn of the M. e. Church. South, on
ly little over year ago. AS wri-
ter shall contend for purity in the
pulpit, regardless Of who it pleases or
displeases. Compel them to show a
clean record, this is my idea.
Uncle Tom.
