EMMET ROAD MUCH IMPROVED.

There are many tourists passing through the city and all who are going south seemed relieved to know that there is a pike from Emmet to Tex arkana They would be more relieved if they knew how much improved the road is between here and Emmet. While we do not have pike between here and Emmet County Judge U. W Franks and Road Oyerseer Will Sampson with the assistance of the citizens of Prescott and adjoining communities have done a great deal of work on the road and have it in passable condition. We hope before the winter rains set in the road will be graveled and thus be passable all winter.

 Say Alex, you wanted to know if l had joined the Primitiyes. No sir, but I will say they have some good preach CTS and as good people as you can find. but that doctrine that the good Spirit only strives with q few. l do not like that. The good preacher that l men toned last week said the cause of peO- ple going to hell was because they sinned Yes and I will say so too, be cause they would not repent. If the good Lord did not convict them, how could they repent. It is awful to thlnk that man with a family and some of them never have the opportunity to repent. This good man explained in his sermon how the Lord chose his people. He said there was respect able family of seven girls and wealthy voung man only chose one of the seven I have always thought that the girl had a right or the privilege to say yes or no. If learn later it is compulsive I may start out in about two years.
 Well Uncle Buck, if I write any more will try and leave off our diff ferent opinions on religion. need the prayers of all Christians. Goodbye
