pastor was in the pulpit and delivered
one of the best sermons on humility, and
/ what Christ has done and is yet doing
for us. This sermon is we'll worth re-
membering. And more than that, the soul
that has been spiritually revived of late
will surely cherish the knowledge obtained
from that cause. We can't say how about
those that continued Indifferent, or gained
no good from the fine meeting held by
our Methodist brethrtn few weeks ago.
We are sorry not to get synopsis of Bro.
Purcells fine discourse. He left early
Monday to- be occupied with his pro-
tracted meeting at Wesley Anna.
Pastor Purcell announced Sunday night
that conference will be held Friday at
Wesley Anna church.
Pastor Wayne Sutton is having fine
meeting at his Briar Hill church this
week. Rev. P. l. Lipsey, of Clinton, is
doing the preaching Bro. Lipsey preach
ed soul-stiring sermon Sunday at Briar
| Hill. We were absent at the time, or
we would tried to have heard him and
take notes.
A writer uses this language to farmer
boys: eff you want to get job, the
boy who drinks alcoholics is passed ove-
and the young man who does not is ia
J ken. That's one reason why the country
boys usually beat the city boys in bus
mess. If you want to succeed in farm
ing, and if you want to marry the pref
test or the smartest girl in the neighbor-
hood, don't touch liquor. The chances are
| against you if you drink" And we will
add that the girl who is willing to give
herself away to drinking young fellow
lacks stamina of character enough to
make him lifetime happy wife.
Girls, o the dish rag Did you ever
think of the value CT the dish rag you
use in helping your ma. wash the table
dishes? Did you ever consider that even
as small an act in house hold affairs as
the handling of the humble dish rag is
one index to your character as would
be house Keeper? A writer said she has
seen dish rags simply hung Up to dry
without wringing or washing them, and
lot of bugs fall from them when they
! are taken down to be used again. Nice,
Mt it? Shows clean sanitary house
/ = a
young man was an intimate friend of a
FAMILY where dwelt three nice (?) young
ladies' He frequented the dining room,
and even the kitchen while they were
cleaning up things so he can be talking
with them socially The two oldest were
setting their caps for him, for he was
an excellent well-to-do young fellow. I'm
known to the three girls, he was keeping
his eyes open on to every thing each did,
studying their ways of doing their work
and handling their things, even down to
the wonderful dish rag. The youngest
| girl knew very we'll that her two sisters
| will marry off first. so she did not try to
act as they did to make favorable i'm
preston on the young mans mind. But
| the youngest he noticed, washed her dish
| rag thoroughly clean, and hung it up
nicely to dry. The othersisters neglected
| this part of the small work. The young
| man saw enough to decide his course.
He courted and won the youngest girl, and
she. made him the housekeeper and wife
! he was wanting-all because she showed
herself particular and careful of every
little thing she handled.
Parents, pick good schools for your sons
and daughters when you have to send
them off from home to be educated. Some
one has apety said: college does not
make fools, it deveIopes them. 1t does
not make bright men it DEVELOPS them.
"A fool will turn out afool whether he
goes to college or not. He may turn out
different sort Of one though"
About thirty young people of this inn
mediate community champeroned by Mrs.
D. L. Sistrunk hied themselves in company
to the banks Of the flowing Pearl one day
| last week and pitched camp for an enjoy
able Wednesday and Thursday. They
plunged themselves into the unlimited
pleasures of fishing, hunting and boat
riding and--well, we leave that out for
the present. Time will tell later on about
. it. The evening hours were devoted tol
story telling and many attractive games
