this section for rain this year, it will |
soon be laying. by time, some have
laid by their early corn and soon all |
crops will be laid by, and then tke |
farmers can take recreation and
rest from his labor.
The season has come now, for most
every thing in the way Of big time
as the ice cream supper. picnic barbe-
cues public speaking protracted meet
ings etc. which of these should have
or ought to have the best of attend
ance? just ask the question.
Everything is in turmoil these
times there are so many issues before
the people so done know what can
didate to support, I read Boyce Whit
heads letter in the Times, see he is
with the U. S. Shipping Board Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation in foreign
countries. In reading over his letter
there is something 1 learned, and a
point that made me think, he said
something about our American ma
rine ship and said the shipping board
is catering too much to the unions and
their demands, and if something
wasn't done to relieve these matters,
America will have no merchant ma
rine ship, and what she has will be
sold to other countries. I am glad
he spoke about this he is up there
where he sees the graft. He tells us
of the distant of transportation which
is five thousand miles. A thought
came to me what are our congress-
men and senators doing if they were
not looking after our protection? 1t
does seem to me that politics is gett,
ing more and more corrupt, we wal
and need the wisest and best men IN
office but it seems like to me that it
is hard to get them, and keep down
graft. We might expect anything to
come or happen but the right thing;
as the league of nations never was
settled and there is no telling where
our government may drift. We have
just been through a great war where
| much property and blood shed and
lives were lost, but still there is a
battle on and will be on 1 guess till
the end of time.
There is a great revolution coming
there will be change we don't know
whether it will be for the best or not
we have had a great and good man
at the head of America but we don't
know how the next leader will do, so
long as we have God fearing men as
our leader, we should not be uneasy,
for it has been said when the wicked
rule the people mourn.
| Tom Payne, said before he died, he
did not mind going to hell but hated
to meet those he had influenced to go
to he'll; If all the leaders OF the world
today were leaders who would take
God as their guide and not study so
much about the financial past and let
graft alone, there would not be so
much unrest among the people
l attended quarterly meeting at
Bogansville Methodist church last
Saturday and there was large con-
gregation and a fine sermon by the
Presiding Elder E. S. Jones, and a
good report was made from the board
OF Stewards on finances of the church

and most interesting meetings ] have
attended in long time; the good
ladies served beautiful dinner. By
| invitation from a friend I attended
box supper and also ice cream sup
per at Buffalo, enjoyed this occas-
ion. The good people of Buffalo gave
me warm welcome. l tried - buy
a box but the other fellow beat me
and got it but however l was invited
by the young ladies to help eat some
of the good eats so l ate all the same

Stepp where l was treated with kind
hospitality.
