Yours in haste,

HEBRON.

After being absent a few days, will
try and give you few dots and ideas
about what is happening over our
county. ----s
The boil weevil is here holding pro-
tracted meeting, and seem to have
things going their way, by holding on
so long. There are some people who
report to their bosses that they are
continually catching them. The boss
ought to get just outside OF the field
and watch how some of their customers
are catching them. When you see
people walking over their crops-walk-
ing straight up-they are not catching
boil weevils; they are just out there
looking for watermelons. You sure
can't carry yourself in an erect posi-
ton and find boil weevils. You al
most have to get on your knees to find
them, like you should do when you
want rain. An old gentleman asked a
few days ago why we could not get
some rain II told him chat God com
manded His children to ask, and ask
in the right faith, and they would re-
ceive. And you remember that every
knee shall bow and every tongue con-
fess. But the people wear such fine
clothes that they will not kneel down
on account of getting their clothes dir
ty, but guess some will have to be
excused. When God made this COM
mand He never thought about the style
and fashion and pattern changing.
Some people have their clothing so
tight these days that they can't crook
or step far. While it would be a fine
thing if people would never crook or
try to step too far. If you will notice
the most people that pray nowadays
pray standing up, and we hardly think
all of those prayers are heard, as they
do not come up out of the dust of hu-
mility. s=--The people use to be 80 hum
BILE that they would wash each others
feet, but if you will just notice that is
all done away with, and | will swear
to he best of my knowledge and belief
that there are lots of people in this
day and time that do not wash their
own feet-the water is too scarce
what pity. We will tell you about
something else.
This writer had the pleasure of a
short visit out through the western
part of our county and over into por-
tion of Lefore county. While in Le-
fore we had the pleasure of meeting
lots of good people on Bear creek at
fish fry, and they just had a real
nice time.
And that night the old and young
were invited to the city hall at Brent
to spend a short while in the way of a
two step dance, which old and young
seemed to enjoy. The youngest man
present was sixty-two years of age;
he just about furnished fresh life for
the crowd, and took few rounds in
the dance. We hope you will not say
anything about it for we learn he is
one of the leading members of the
church of that county and puts up a
splendid prayer. If you happen to
tell it don't tell Bro. Mullen.
Mr.. Jack Nixon left today on a visit
to his father on East Bank plantation
to spend few days. From there he
will to Oklahoma,
Mrs. Rosa Wainwright has been visi-
ting her brother, B. G. Harvey, sever
al days, but expects to leave tomorrow
for her home at Stonewall.
Mrs. Mamie Burch has been visiting
her father, Mr.. Griff Harvey, but has
returned to her home at Preston.
Success to all. TOBE
