MIDWAY. Still raining and no farming done yet. Don’t think it is worth while to worry about cut ting the cotton acreage. There is one who knows what we need and he can cut off our prosper ity with out us worrying about it. Miss Eva Green is assisting Mrs. Bell Hansard in her school at Oak Grove. The little infant of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Spence was buried at Midway Sunday. Mrs. Margaret Anglin is in very feeble health at this writ ing. She is suffering much pain with a cancer on her face. There is some talk of that Highway coming by Midway. We think this route would ac comodate more people. When big creek is ditched the next thing you will hear will be, cut the corn acreage. Mr. M. J. Hooper has ginned around 400 bales of cotton the past season. This section is hard to beat for farming any way. Miss Effie Elliott was the guest of Miss Fannie Hall Sat urday night and Sunday. Mrs. Fannie Hansard and daughter, Beulah, spent one night last week with Mr. Roy Puckett and wife near Hol brook campground. Mr. Jim Goswick and wife visited Mr. J. J. Green and fam ily one day last week. J. B. ROUTE 2. More da m p disagreeable weather, but possibly we will have enough pretty weather la ter on to more than make up for all this at least let us hope so. Oh, Pshaw, “Leslie Lamont” you needn’t get spunky, 1 onl> missed one week such as you often do. Lets see how long we can go now without missing. Mrs. Jane Chadwick, who has been spending the wintei with relatives in Atlanta re turned home Saturday. Mrs. Linnie Tallant of Wales ka, whose husband is with the American Army overseas spent last week with relatives here. Mr. J. M. Williams and wife spent Sunday aftrnoon at Mr. B F. Payne’s. The word “Faith” is scarcely mentioned considering its val ue. Faith is something we could all have at no expense and would be of far greatei worth to us than many world ly things we strive so hard to pose3s. Our minds returns to an incident we heard related by a preacher. “A conductor on a certain railroad train had a small daughter, who frequently went with him on his trips, on one occasion while the train was going at top speed another train was coming toward it. there was certain to be a terri ble wreck every one on the train was wrought up to a frenzy all but the conductor's little girl who was playing and taking no notice of the ap proaching danger. There was also a preacher on the same car and seeing the little childs indifference to the imminent danger, he asked her why she appeared to be so happy in the face of such awful danger, she smiled as she replied, papa is conductor on this train and in him I have faith that no harm will befall me, ,just then the collision came and every one on board was killed or wound ed except the little girl who es caped without a scratch. If we the chidren of the almighty father only had such faith in Him we could fearlessly face any danger and therefore be happy at all times. Mr. Cf. W. Beavers is on the sick list at present, hope he may soon recover. Sometimes there occurs a time of sadness, distress, worry first to one then another, in fact, to every one. Christ says it is not possible but what of fences will come but woe unto the man by whom they cometh Mr. William Smith and wife spent Sunday with Mr. G. W. Beavers and family. Mr. Editor, you are getting out an absolutely fautless pa per which grows better each week. The News undoubtely ranks among the highest of weeklies. So you need not be scared because the flu is carry ing off the monkeys, it has not attached the wise old owls yet. Dixie Rube. HAWCREEK. We heard an able sermon at Haw Creek Sunday. Those that was not there sure did miss hearing a good sermon. Rev. J. W. Thomas preached Saturday as the pastor was call cl to Coal Mountain to attend he funeral of Mr. Reed Dunlap vvho died suddenly Friday •vhile traveling along the road '■oing to the railroad. Weli, the church in confer ence last Saturday voted to lave Sunday school but voted igainst using the literture but will use the bible. And the superintendent asked that we .neel when we go to pray. This ooks like going back to the old and marks where we used to je. Can a preacher preach the rospel in its puriety and just ■cad what some other fellow ias preached? I think not. The trouble with us these days s we are not willing to do any Jiing for ourselves but depend jn someone else to do our studying. Now we have a Sun iay school that is going to use he bible, and we invite all who ove to study the bible to come uid take a part with us. We hink lhat every father and mother in reach ought to come avery Sunday evening at 2 o’- clock. The lessson for next Sun lay is the fourth Chapter of laint John.
