Dr., would have been exonerated. but
facts are stubborn things TO overthrow.

no mother to teach it to scratch nor TO
cluck. it could hardly tell, whether 1t
was chicken or duck. That is you

his ear. these words. Be careful papa,
what you write. Remember there Is
no great methods in madness, and too,

DIR. you have made great leap and

have Ieaped five columns. from the
real issue. Your conduct reminds Us
of the man who hunted foxes with

said that poor old Sonnder. on chasing
a fox one day with that long and loud

they choose. So we haven't an unkind
word to say against the Olivet Baptist
church nor single member in it. But

gave the past year with membership
of 1900. and you have not denied it.
But you say that is all, or rather she
did not see the neel OF giving more
more money to the State. But sent
up to that same State convention for
F,reign Missions $4,000 The hundred
dollar check you laid down on the table

joke. We are reminded of the three
Jews, rs the story goes; they agreed
among themselves that the first one Of
the three that died the other two were
