A gay old time In Buxton on Labor
Day, under the auspices of the U. M.
w. of A. there will be a grand celebra-
tion in Buxton, Sept. 2. If you do not
attend you may always wish you had.
See large bills for program, etc.
Say! have you noticed how city-like
the people of Buxton are becoming to
be? Why, they are just like the folks
in the city It is even noticeable in the
churches. The city pastors complain
because the people do not attend church
in the evening. They would rather at.
tend the parks and theatres. Our folks
have no theatres and parks to attend,
but they just stay away from church
anyhow and be like the town folks.
The town-folks are not always good ex-
amples in everything they do, so may
be we had better be careful which of
their examples we follow! Christ has
said some things about the Sabboth
day that the town-folks are not obey
lug, and He might change conditions
after awhile.
