congregation and said: “I’m go

course this caused every eye to be
tinned in that direction. Our
informant didn’t say whether the
actor had on sound pant3 or not.
Didn’t say. Any way no pic
tures received yet, and the most cu
rious ones are anxious to know
what kind of a picture this man’s
camera will produce.
The revival at the Baptist church
closed last Sunday night after be
ing in progress one week—three
persons joiued. The many who
attended were well pleased with
the very able sermons delivered by
Rev. A. C. Johnson, the Pastor.
He is broad minded, a good clever
man, a fine preacher and every
body likes him. Mr. Hoffman, of
A.lauta, who goes about singing,
furnished the music. All enjoyed
his songs during the whole time,
treating him just as nice as any
one cou’d be, and when a collec
tion v. as taken up contributed very
liberal. It was then that Mr. Hoff
man arose and criticised the poo-
pie of Dahlonega in the most un-
genttnanly terms, naming a per
cent of Christians in both the Bip-
tist agd Methodist churches, rat
ing tinm pretty low, so we tinder-
n’.-.t.d. ‘io 1 tir opinion is that a
man who will act this way lias not
in ugh religion to fill an empty
five cent snuff box. We are enti
tled to our 01 i lion same as this
man is to his. A true Christian
won’t take advantage of no people
by getting up in the church aud
criticising them in any such a man
ner as this, a place where they
can’t defend themselves without 1
violating the law.
