The Empty Pew
From Wesleyan Christian Advocate:
“Mr. Empty Pew has an eloquent
delivery. He speaks a language both
culturde and unlearned hear and un
derstand. He Is the most tnlked-about
personage in church circles.
He has a message for all:
To the visitor he confides: "You
see we are not quite holding our
own.”
To the stranger he whispers: “Bet
ter wait awhile before you join.”
To the faithful member he sug
gests: "You might as well stay at
home.”
To the minister he comes with the
temptation: “What’s the use in pre
paring; who cares what, you have to
say?”

CircuoisUnces Connected
With Death of Deputy
Bazemore Told By Mr. Anglin
Butler, Ga., Aug. 24, 1930.
Mr. Editor of the Butler Herald,
Dear Sir;,.
Will you publish a few lines for me
in reference to the way Mr. Homer
Bazemore came to his death? It is
rumored around that he committed
suicide but from what I heard no one
will ever make me believe he com
mitted suicide. At two minutes after
three o'clock I was up and lighted
lamp. As I was putting the chimney
on the lamp I heard a pistol shoot and
it sounded to me like it wns toward
the Methodist church.
My wife spoke and said to me,
“What is that,—reckon is that fire?”
Shooting is all the fire alarm we
have here at night. I' walked out on
the front porch and looked all over
town and could not see nor hear any
thing at that time. I walked back in
