It is suicidal to refuse them your patronage. They work about two thousand tons of seed each year, aid could work twice that amount, and should have every seed that is raised in. Butts county. Why should we ship our seed and pay freight on them e.ud freight on the fertilizers back to us when we could have oir seed worked at home?

When I think how they reject the gospel, The sweet promises to young and old, I wish I c uld get them to consider— “ The half has never yet been told.” When I think how Satan deceives them, And plunges them into sorrow and sin, I wish I could show them their folly And induce them to “let the Stranger in. When 1 think how thier dear mothers Over their disobedience weep and pray, I wish I could explain how they’ll regret it When she shall have passed away. When I think how that disobedience Cauaes to regret, mourn and sigh, I wish they would ask Christ for pardon, And try to meet her in Mansions in the Bky. A NEGRO SHOT.
