Unsigned Communications Again.
We are always glad for parties
over the county to write out and
send us items of news which they
know. We really appreciate it as
a favor, because the news is what
we want, and our friends often
us news in this way which
v would not be able otherwise to
obtain.
But we must again call attention
to our necessary rule that All
C 0 M M u N I c A T IONS OF EVERY
Character which Are Unsign
ed and Do Not Show on the
Same Who Sends Them Cannot
hi Published.
We do not know whether it is
genuine, unless somebody vouches
for it.
This week we received a local
which we would be glad to pub-
Ij ,h but it is unsigned.
We also received what purports
to be a “Program for General
V eting of the Second District of
ti e Flint River Association to be
h !d at Luella Baptist church, July
14, 15, and 16.”
We are especially anxious to
p ■ blish this, but it is unsigned and
we do not know of our own
k owledge enough of the correct
n ss oi it, to publish it.
We know it is mere thoughtless
ness on the part of writers, for we
stall not publish the name of the
p rson sending such news, unless
b ? requests it or it is a signed ar
ti;!e in his name.

at e to be out again.

week-end with her daughter, Mrs.
Palmer, at Rex.
Mrs. Jeff Davis was shopping

Pin going to Avrite you a little
lesson about the Bible, but don’t
want you good old Christians to
get mad if I hit you.
A little more Bible in heart and in life,
A little more Bible in battle and strife,
A little more Bible’s the thing that we need
When feet walk the rough road of life till
they bleed,
And souls sink in sadness and times are
distraught,
With blood dearly given and joy dearly
bought.
A little more Bible before we can say,
The light of our lianners’ has conquered
the way.
A little more Bible in business and art,
A little more Bible in spirit and heart.
In progress and pageants of power and
advance,
A little more Bible ere taking a chance.
A little more Bible—it must be the thing,
Wrought deep in our life if the metal s to
ring
With the true ring of gold and the pure
sounding song,
Of a voice of true love to the hearts of the
throng.
The King of the throne and the slave at
his gate,
Need a little more Bible to balance their
fate.
A little more Bijjle in daily affairs—
How sweet would it lighten our burden
and car* s.
How much would waken the hours and
the days,
With sunlight and fragrance and music
of Mays.
For down the green childhood of joy and
delight,
A little more Bible to set us just right.
I think this is the thing we all
need, and am quite sure I’m hitting
myself too.
It’s a pity a person can’t express
his opinion on religion without
being criticised by some little 2x4
(nincopoop).
Oh, how can a man or woman
consistently sing “Oh, how I love
Jesus,” and at the same time never
see about their sick ones at home.
