My wife and grand daughter, Miss
Katie Goforth, having become almost
we'll from their recent illness, the
hunting fever seized hold of me with
such force that l didn't resist the
temptation, so Friday evening the old
lady baked me pan of biscuits, and
cut off pound of bacon and put it in
old satchel that belonged to my wife s
grandmother years ago. long before
grip sacks and suit cases were ever
known, and hied myself down to the
Amos Griffith place to have fox race.
We stopped at bis camp for a while
I've been trying to think of the name
of those sleeping sacks he uses, but
I'll have to give it up, unless they are
hobble hammoeks, When the moon
rose woke the boys up and in little
while our dogs had fox going on the
double quick. They ran it up tree
and we scared it out and it lit out for
the gulf and to safer quarters. After
the race returned to Uncle Amos
tent, cooked my breakfast and started
for home. When l got home wife
lowed l was satisfied she reckoned.
''Yes, says 1, zone more year added
to my life, and if you want me to live
long time, send me hunting pretty
often, and let me mix and mingle
with nature" She don't believe in
such ideas, but do The nearer hu-
man beings live to nature the better
for them. It's the artificial stuff that
shortens life and weakens the human
family.
Well. 1 have just got home from the
memorial service of my old friend and
Comrade, Hence Parmley, conducted
by the Rev. D. A. Cordell, of the
Primitive Baptist Church. like the !
Baptist idea of the resurrection very
we'll, although they leave some doubt |
on my mind as to their conception of |
the second advent of Christ into the |
world. Heard them again last night |
at the Rev. 7. B. Landlords which |
mystifies me more than ever on the |
subject of what they really do believe
about God, most especially on the doc
trines of their church. They went be-
hind the creation and asserted things |
they knew nothing about, dwelt upon
the patriotic and prophetic age, skip |
ped the Gospel age and jumped into
the millennium age of the world and
jumbled things up until couldn't tell
what they were really driving at.
My notion is that the Primitive Bar
lists had better stick to the Gospel age
and let alone things that took place in
the mind of God before the world was,
that does not concern the human fami-
ly like the Gospel of the Son of God
does. Christ and none of the prophets
and apostles have told us very much
about what will be when Christ makes
his second advent into the world. The
only thing we are assured of is the ov
er throw of sin and the execution of
Justice upon TIE ungodly. l believe |
the most glorious period of the worlds |
history will take place under His sec
ond coming. The Scriptures teach that
much The binding of Satan will be
one of the grandest victories ever
gained since the world began when all |
oppression will cease out of the land |
and the meek shall have restored unto
them their inheritance. and have a
place among their brethren forever.
Christ will come again without any
doubt, and we may expect Him to
reign and establish his kingdom as
foretoad in the Scriptures.

Our friend, A. J. Brannan, has
been down to Pelham preaching the
Gospel of Socialism, and had good
audience. When people really know
what Socialism is, its no trouble to
Explain it to them. Socialism is a
rust for all the people, cooperation
