Tother day as we was setting in

capacity for the past two yrs. and
is almost strong enuff to walk with
out assistunts-we repeet as we
was setting there nominating on
the footilitty of life as we might
say being as before us on our desk
was several paper bills which had
dent been paid & which Ito tell the
pathetic trooth) we diddent have
the money. to pay owink to the
criminal keerlessness on the part of
the great ma; oritty of our army of

set there as per above wondering
whether it would be better for us to
let the law take its course and per-
NIT the sheriff to close up the
Boogle offs or go into voluntary

offs and extended to us the hand
of fellership, which hand was as
cold as a dead fish and without say

Being as our own trubbels was

Rev. Moore about what gorranlmed

when we had got all thru he shuk
his head sadly and replide:

When we askd Rev. Moore what

sometimes refers to as his "Beluv-

moren 2 yrs. on his salery and bein

leaving Hoke settin in the blackboard
amazed and surprised and irwin to pick
