ed to be against him. Nevertheless,
he pulled through, and struck out
again. Not many years elapsed, how
ever. before something else happened.
He stepped on weak plank in his
barn loft floor one day, and like Nc
Ginnis, down he went, to the lower
floor. This time he broke wrist or
two, few fingers, perhaps an arm or
leg or two, and was again laid up for
repairs. He repaired, and came out
in pretty good shape. Not long ago

Cured. He was mosying around a.
mong the brush on the mountain
above his home. Just how it happen
ed is not clear. He came out of the
brush Gas bloody as n hog" A sap
ling or something flew back and
caught him on the nose this time, and
split the skin several inches, making
the blood fly. Sam is himself once
more, and has many years of useful
ness ahead of him. A man who lodged
Yankee bullets and came out of the
war whole, who has had as many
mishaps as he has and survived it all
deserves to live hundred years or
more. OF him it can be truly said,
that about the only harm he ever did
in this world was to himself.
Aside from this bit of personal
gossip, it is interesting to recall old
facts likely to be lost and forgotten.
Captain Tynes, who gave some of the
facts herein stated, could write an
interesting account of his experiences

ago, and down, if he would, a nd it is
to be hoped that he will.

THF PENNIES OF THE CHURCH

"Take care of the pennies and the
dollars will take care of themselves
is an old proverb, the truth of which
is self evident. A dollar is composed
of pennies-smaler parts, and, of
course, if the parts are squandered
there can be no whole. How foolish
to say, 81 will save only the large
bills; the small pieces can CO. This
is an apt illustrator of the Sunday
School idea, which is "take care of
the children, and the grown people
will take care of themselves-the
small, component parts, out of which
the churches build their armies. More
than eighty-five of every one hundred
churches forces are made out of
these small factors. Neglect these,
and there will be no army of the flu
ture. A church without the Sunday
School idea and help will die of the
dry rot, and not be many generations
about it.

This paper will regret very much
to lose the good will and endorsement
of Prof. Grimsley, rs seems possible
from the tone of his letter. If he
will read the editorial referred to
again he must conclude that our pro-
test against the passage of Senator
Royals bill-if protest it was, was
solely on the ground that the State is
not able to incur the large additional
expenditure. If Senator Royal will
agree to introduce bill reducing the
salaries of State officials in order to
help this bill, as Mr.. Grimsley sug-
gests, this paper will stand to him.
No, if possible, we would like to
see the old soldiers waited to the
skies, OH flowery beds of ease. " They
deserve better fate than has been
theirs. as rule, since the war.
