African Groshecks.

The social grosbecks of South Africa live in large societies. They select a tree of considerable size and literally cover it with q grass roof, under which their common dwelling is constructed. The roof serves the double purpose of keeping off the heat and the rain, and 400 or 500 pairs of birds arc known to have the same shelter. The nests in this aerial dwelling are built in regu- lar streets and closely resemble rows of tenement houses.

Mr.. Ed Shearer, Inventor,

The good old book is sure true as

which you have been lifting the lid
and letting little sun shine i'll.
May Gods richest blessing be be-

you keep in the good old way; and
steadfastly contend for the faith once
delivered to the saints Amen.
Well here's to you brother Watson

shout ITO arms, to arms, against the
mighty hosts Of sin and Wr0ng!'
Men, in whose veins flow the blood
Of your forefathers, awake, note and
give careful consideration to the i'm

with eyes and ears closed to the
appeals of our country-our coun-
trys men? We have men whose
hearts are brave and true and who
do not tire in their efforts to keep
and preserve the blood-bought free
dom--who do not fail to resist in
suits and crimes against our Empire
State-nay more, the crimes AGAINST
our whole country! Are we to see
these true sons outlaWed, given no
justice, and then gotten out Of the
Way?' Woe be unto that thief or

FROM A BAPTIST PREACHER


Dear Sir: AS minister of the
Baptist denomination and a native
born citizen Of Georgia, | want to
extend to you my sympathy in regard
to this Catholic propaganda against
you and also the rich, blue-mouth
Jews in trying to destroy your life
and liberty in this, our once honored
Land of Liberty.
am now SIS years Of age, fifty
years a Baptist, but this is too much
for my Southern blood to refrain
from speaking out in bold and fear
less terms.
I have read your writings at in
tervals for the last twenty-five years;
in all the issues you have debated
| did not agree with you, but in a
large degree | have considered you
sound and logical in your political
debates and other issues not political.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-02-24

But now as you tread upon the tail
OF this monster serpent, Roman
Catholicism, it seems with the aid OF
our great Government at their back,
they intend to take your life and
liberties from you. In the name OF
high heavens what are we coming
to, any way?
Any man or woman under the
rules and regulations of the laws OF
our Government can accept any re-
ngious views they wish, but those re-
hgious views or practices were never
designed by the lawmakers to be
controlled by any one set Of religious
views, nor by all of them.
In conclusion, wish to say that
I don't believe you will ever trail
the banner of truth and righteous"
ness to any foe, however powerful Or
intimidating.
I could write a great deal more,
but am sick and nervous.
Wishing you much success in your
great undertakings, remain,
Your friend,
Ca. w. A. GARNER.
