day for fourteen days and his sfr-
mons were all of high order, b{th
strong and forceful. AS he will lot
preach here next Sunday, he preached
peace sermon in accordance with
the request of President Wilson that
on that day prayer and supplicatiPn
be made all over the country for
peace to come to the nations at war.
Brother Rice's sermon Sunday was
masterful one with an optimistic
prophecy that peace and greater prI Iss-
perity would dawn upon our great
country in less than two decades.
Such as has never been witnessed be-
fore. His faith is founded upon the
Great God that rules the nations i'm
his own good time.
We had a good rain over this coun-
try last Friday, the best since last
April.
The war over the Atlantic and the
price of cotton has been discussed in
so many phases and it brings no
peace and relief so I believe | will let
that matter rest so far as my COM
municaton is concerned, for | really
don't know what will be the result or
outcome. AS | said in a former com
L
of men, of towns, communities and
most every instance prosperity fol-
lows adversity and so will it be on to
the end of time.
Mr.. John Fowler, who lives just out
in the country from Jonesville, one
night last week while his wife was
sick made bed down on the floor and
after retiring he heard a noise on the
| N I. L. tlN,,rrht rafc nd
he got up and made light and found
two large pilot snakes coiled up to-
rether with their heads reared up
about eight inches high and looking
very vicious, and the next day ho
found another in the same room. Mr..
!; Fowler managed to kill the snakes.
1t would seem that Mr.. Fowler had
better plant less cotton and start up
n snake farm. Mr.. n. B. Eison about
the same time had a boy to bring up
some corn tops and in the tops he
found a cat and a large pilot snake;
he killed the snake and set the poor
cat free.
