a deep at the place, presumably
watching the beer to keep strangers
from drinking it up.
A i old gentlemun from that
section, who was in town to day,
tells us that the still was located
at an ideal place, on the head of a
branch with laurel bushes all
around and a nice little rcservoii

C< oil ig purposes.
It is not often that revenue olli

Says Christ is Coining
.1. JO. Neighbor, an evangelist,
preaching in Atlanta, gave his
congregation the following infor
mation Monday:
“The signs of the limes ibout us
are indicating unmistakably, if I
know anything about it, that the
second coming of Christ is near at
hand,”
It is lortunntc that he placed the
words between comas, “If I know
anything about it.’ It is not
brnbab'c that Hro. Neighbor knows
anything about it. In fact if lie
knows as little about everything
else as he does the coming of Christ
he should be taught and not trying
to teach.
