It seems that all the "scribes" OF
this part of our 'moral vineyard
have fell asleep except sold Joe, "
and he can only come every other
week. We are very sorry that our
people are on the aggressive lines, and
are letting our little vicinity retro
grade as though we were living back
in the dark ages of old. Cheer up,
"scribes" and let's keep the world
posted as to who we are and what we
are doing.
Well, we didn't have any preaching
here Sunday evening. Bro. Osborne
was engaged in a quarterly meeting at
Sardis and could not be with us. 1t
seems very hard to think that we only
have just one little short service on
the evening of the first Sunday in each
month and we fail sometimes to get
that. l tell you if we were hungering
and thirsting after the "bread of
life" and were not fed oftener than
that we would get mighty weak, so if
we are babes in Christ and are desir-
ing the sincere milk of the word, and
only get little sip once month. no
wonder we are all weaklings.
The women preachers who have been
holding forth at Victoria for the last
two weeks, were expected to come ov
er in our vicinity this week, but we
were informed Sunday that they were
going to Wbitwell this week and
would not get to preach any for us.
There are quite lot of people who
are very anxious for them to come,
and it would be something new in our
settlement to hear women preaching.
We are all used to women "gossip-
ing" but we are not accustomed to
women preaching. Ye writer does not
approve of the idea, still he and the
bible both might or could be wrong.
Tuin to 1st Corinthians, 14:3435. AL
so read fst. Timothy, 2:19, and see
what the Spirit said through Paul.
We also read in Holy Writ that if we
bid an evil thing "God speed" we
are partakers of TIE evil deed.
Well, oul Sunday school is getting
along nicely. We partially reorganiz-
ed last Sunday week, electing Oscar
Francis assistant superintendent, and
also elected Mrs. Francis teacher of
the little ones or card class.
Miss Minnie Kilgore, of near Vic
toria. accompanied Miss Nettie Moore
home from Sunday school and took
dinner, and spent the evening and bad
a real pleasant time Jasper Pitman
was with them, of course, and Jasper
seemed to enjoy his visit very much.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Billingsley and
two little sons, Ernest and Hubert,
visited Mr.. and Mrs. J. q. Spears
Sunday evening and had a pleasant
time.
Barney Hunley and his aunt, Mary
Hunley, visited the Sulphur Spring
settlement from Saturday until Sun
day evening. Barney reports what
came near being very serious difficulty !
at the Spring Sunday. 1t seems that
he with some other young men went
up to the Spring Sunday for a few
hours past!me, and one young fellow
by the name of Powell was there. |
They were all joking and having their
fun when young Powell became very
incensed over some joking expression
used by one young fellow by the name
of Hatfield, and Powell grabbed up
club and made for Hatfield, so Hat
field to to evade any further trouble
broke to run, but Powell out ran him
and welted him few blows over the
shoulder, and Hatfield realizing his
situation, jerked out his knife and
turned on Powell and slashed him
very severe cut. Hunly didn't seem to
know all about the results, and says
he and the other boys were getting
away from the scene as fast as their
peddles would work. Powell seems to
