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. Old Stockbridge. # (Last Week’s Letter.) Roscoßranan has been confined to his bed for several days, but is at e to be out again. Mrs. Bill Mitchell spent the week-end with her daughter, Mrs. Palmer, at Rex. Mrs. Jeff Davis was shopping in Atlanta Friday. 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. N Wanted.
