1GlmuS, OCt. O.--l again Ia ke
pleasure in writing a few lines for
The News from the garden spot of
the county. l see the Flint Ridge
correspondent is trying to claim the
garden spot for his particular sec
tion. He made the statement that
Heath Springs took the rag off the
bush September 18th, and that Flint
Ridge was a close neighbor to Heath
Springs. l happen to know both
places and Flint Ridge is three or
four miles from the town of Heath
Springs. / did not claim in my ar
ticle that Primus was the cleanest
spot on earth said Garden Spot"
meaning in the term of farming and
etc. Heath Springs may have gotten
on the bulletin board. for cleanliness
but Che has not gotten there on farm
ing. / still hold to what i said ;
Primus is the garden spot and in
making this claim for our community
/ have not included another neigh
borhood with it which i note the
Flint Ridge correspondent has done
when he includes Heath Springs in
respondent endeavors to cover too
much ground. Again 1 notice in

fore, was not in position to make
such statement. He also stated that
Flint Ridge was going to have a
community fair to which he gave the
good editor, Mr.. Luther Ellison, and
myself special invitation to come
Thank you, Mr.. Correspondent, will
try to to be on hand and will bring
my old white Leghorn rooster with
me. know he will take off one of
your ribbons without doubt.
Just as l expected, my friend W.
S. Estridge, has gotten into the war
with that fellow in Florida about the
book of Revelation, endeavoring to
figure out the war in the said book
This particular book seems to be a
hidden mystery to the minds OF most
OF the people, being especially very
hard to understand, the fact being
most of our highly educated preach
ers do not care to tackle it. / believe
large portion OF the visions that
John saw while on the Isle OF Patmus
are yet to come to pass and have not
as yet been fulfilled Brother Es-
fridge, when you and the Brother
down in Florida decide the war in
Europe, please explain the Sth chap
ter of Revelation to me.
VI am indeed glad to note that
lancaster is to have county fair
this fall. l think a county fair is a
great thing for any county from many
standpoints. Let us all pull together
and make it great success. / notice
the little shows are to be back at the
fair. / trust the manager will not
allow those gambling machines to
operate on the grounds. l hope the
good people of the county will not

prise. Men are valuable to any cause
in proportion as they are able and
willing to work in harmony witt,
other men. When a person looses
his ability and willingness to coop

the down and out club. The kickers
have quit kicking in our community

abundance in this community

must leave for Beever Creek to at
