PLEASANT VIEW.
Sunday was a pretty day and
the writer went to Pisgah and
heard a fine sermon preached
by Rev. Stone. The Sunday
school was fine, and then in the
evening we had a fine singing.
All seemed to enjoy the day.
Mrs. E. L. Bagwell and child
ren spent Sunday with Mrs. G.
M. McConnell, on rofcte 2.
The writer enjoyed a fine sing
ing Sunday night at Mr. Nay
Wallis. I just like to visit Nay
and his good family anyway &
besides alf this I met a number
of good friends at Pisgah.
The singing at Mrs. Hassie
Vaughans Sunday night was
enjoyed by all present.
Some of the youngsters met
at Mr. F. A. Bagwell’s Sunday
night .a had a nice singing.
WOA Out, we may writ3 up a
wedding soon.
Next Saturday and Sunday
are regular meeting days here.
We hope to sed* the whole
church present. If we are what
we profess to be we ought to be
just as anxious to go to meet-|
ing in the winter as in the sum
mer. So lets make the pastor
feel good by all being on hand
If all will come by 10 o’clock
Sunday we will sing and have,
prayer service before preach
ing services.
The sick in this part are the:
the little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Barnett, the baby of
Mr. Carl Jett, the baby of Mr.
and Mrs. Mid Gravitt and Miss
Floy Brannon. Several other
children are on the sick list but
can’t name them all. Hope all
will soon be well.
It’s a good thing the writer
was not loaded with booze Sun
day night for old Keel would
have got him as he run him to
Jep Elliotts from town. So it is
best to be clear of hauling it,
boys, and the officers will not
as much as search your car.
Miss Ida Self is still very fee
ble, we are sorry to say.
Mrs. M. J. Wade spent Sat
urday evening with her daugh
ter. Mrs. A. A. Thompson.
We hear much said about the
hard times of this life, but we
don’t hear much said about the
good time a Christian pers< i
will have after they leave tbi<
old world, and we don’t hea.
much said about the bad time
one will have that is not a chns
tian. There is no telling what
will come on us if things go on
as they are, for it does seem to
me like we are trusting more in
ourselves than God, but listen
we can do nothing, we are too
weak. Hill Billy.
another appeal.
I am still unable to work and
my expenses have been heavy.
So I must again appeal to those
who owe me to call and settle
so myself and family can have
something tojive on. 1 promise j
you that just as soon as I get
able, and my physician will let]
me, I will be back on the job to
give you the very best service I
can. Now, don’t fail to arrange
for past sendees. I thank you.
Your friend,
