Mr. Stringer and Ben Mauldin were in
our community Friday, talking ma
chines. They make a team that is hard
to get by without trading with them.
Sunday morning quite a crowd met at
Goldenrod to hear Mr. W. J. Kelly sing
but he failed to come and Mr. J. S. Ful
ford lead a few lessons, and by request
left an appointment to sing again on the
second Sunday in November. At ten
o’clock Mr. W. H. Waldron announced
that the patrons of the Goldenrod school
were requested to meet at the school
house Saturday, Oct. 15th, at 3 o’clock
p. m.

well, maybe he doesn’t go there every

that way on Sunday.

We clip the following from
one of our exchanges in regard
to what it takes to kill a town:
A town that never has had any
thing to do in a public way is on
the road to the cemetery, any
citizen who will do nothing for
his town is helping to dig the
grave. A man who will cuss
his town furnishes the coffin.
1 he one who is so selfish as to
have no time from his business
to give to the city affairs is ma
king the shroud. The merch
ant who will not advertise is
driving the hearse. The man
"who is always pulling back from
bouquets any public enterprise throws
on the grave. The
man who is so stingy and
fish as to be always
hard times preaches the funeral
and sings the doxologv, and
thus the town lies buried
from all sorrow and care.
