What time of rejoicing when our
boys comes marching home with vic
tory perched upon their banners and
the red, white and blue flag of liberty
floating all over this wide wide world.
It will be next to meeting each other
on the gold-paved streets Of the new
Jerusalem to sing hallelujah in Hea-
ven for evermore.
Miss Lacy Johnson and W. w. Har-
din are both to be congratulated for
their good interesting truthful letters.
/ have just made pot Of soap and
canned cabbage which might win a
premium at the fair. Am indebted to
the late Mrs. w. C. Townsend for the

Slice buds and pack in a jar, fill with
water and tablespoon full of salt,
set in reservoir with lid laid, cot
screwed on; have water enough to co :
er the jar and let it stay while dinner

hot water from the kettle to fill TIE
Jar, which evaporates, and screw I
the lid and put them away and they'll
keep just as white and pretty as they
are when they come from the gar
den.
We took trip to Lowe today and
saw the finest corn and cotton on Mr..
S. c.. Stubs farms. / thought we had
ten-acre field of fine corn till
saw his. / saw plenty Of the old
poison weed but none on his fine farm.
Yes, broad smiles and high prices,
but what is the price to the boys that
smoke and chew the filthy high
priced stuff Will it pay them to be
deprived of vitality and manhood and
have their system filled with poison
Gus nicotine? Would like to hear the
important subject discussed.
Rev. Mr.. Daley filled his regular
appointment at Raft Swamp 1st Sun
day and day before and preached fine
sermons, as usual. Rev. j. r. Miller
preached an excellent sermon at Back
Swamp End Sunday from the subject
Loyalty to Christ and loyalty to our
country" He said we did not have
faith enough to keep our anchor chain
from breaking during the storms Of
life" We dined with Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan Britt and accompanied them 20
see his sister ard brother-in-law Mr.
and Mrs. Charlie Parnell, who was at
the point of death. The trip in his
nice car was delightful, but how sad
| to arrive in the presence Of death a
| while before his spirit took its flight
back to the God who gave it. We
are glad his wife has been christian
| to these many years and can cast her
| burdens upon the Lord and He will
sustain her. We extend sincere SYM
patl7y to the bereaved family and com
mend them to Him who says, "Let not
your heart be troubled, ye believe in
| God, believe also in me. In my Faith
er's house are many mansions, il it
were not so would have told you
go to prepare a place for you, and il
I go and prepare a place for you II
come again and receive you unto my
self, that where I am there ye may be
also. John 11:14. Let US praise the
Lord from the rising Of the sun til
the going down thereof, for His good
ness and for His precious promises tx
us.
"Aunt Becky" we certainly do sym
pathize with you, crippled during thi:
warm weather. Have you passed tht
death penalty on that goat, or will yol
return good for evil? We didn'
think a goat so mean as to attack {
queen. Remember you are in schoo
of discipline here to be prepared fol
great things Of eternity. Beloved
think it not strange concerning thu
frey trials which are to test you 81
you can come forth pure like golt
tried in the frey furnace"
