PLEASANT VIEW.
We had a large crowd at the
Singing Sunday afternoon, but
as usual nobody wanted to sing.
Now we all know good singing
is the life of the church and why
have we got so careless about
singing. The prayer meeting
was good Sunday night and most
all that were present promised
to do all they could to make it
a success every time. Most of
the visiting Sunday is like the
weddings that expect to come off
this winter —a secret if there
was any.
Cotton is damaged much
worse by frost than we first
thought.
Well, Pat, as I have a lot of
clearing to do this winter and
will be in the woods most of the
time, I could change faces with
you for a reasonable amount of
money in order that you may
have a nice time everywhere you
go. Why haven’t you thought of
this sooner?
Rev. Braddy filled his appoint
at Cross Roads Saturday and
Sunday he reports a good meet
ing. The time is about here
when Satan tempts us the most
during the winter there are
many things to draw us away
from God. Let us be careful as
this is the time when everyone
should be thinking in the right
way.
