The Primitive Baptist Association
bold at Pine Ridge began bu*t Fri
day. Extensive preparation had
been made by tho neighborhood and
membership and expectations of an
enormous crowd. Especial]v had
Messrs. Melvin and Wm. II. Morton,
Thomas Bragg, Goddard, etc., pre -
pared to entertain many friends,
but Friday dawned gloomy and
cloudy, min set, in and of course
prevented an attendance. On Sat
urday quite a number were on the
grounds, the day was pleasant but
everything damp, but what a day
was Sunday! Pour, pour, blow,
blow, rain, rain. No Association
for that day- All compelled to stay
at home, but reckon they could eat
and enjoy the nice tilings prepared
on Saturday for the “Association!”
Next time may the Gods be more
kind, the Sun more generous
Our typo made it out rather badly
in our last issue for our advertiser,
Mr. John Bradley. Trust he
thought no harm of us for leaving
out the important R. We are in one
of the months of IBs now, a bon the
fates are kiud and allow ns to in
dulge in oyster sehrunp and crab
eating. But this is “an aside” and
has no connection with tho worthy
Mr. Bradley, of Bradley’s, who is
ono of the business men of our
county and who loves bis people,
loves his stock, and “they say” loves
pretty girls—or a pretty girl!!
Some wort hy young lassie is “losing
deal’' we opine, or the worthy Mr.
B. would Dot bo “going against”
that scriptural injunction: *Tt is
not good for man to bo alone.”
While Mr. B. loses no opportunity
to show a kind act or winning
smile for tho “fair,” he pays close
attention to his numerous duties as
U. R. agent, merchant, wood
contractor, etc. He has up to the
8th of September furnished to the
C. & M. II. R. 500 more cords of
wood than any other man and has
