Griffin. A most refreshing rain fell here Friday night which will make all late gardens grow faster and bring turnip seed up. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Blankenship and children of McDonough spent last week end here. Mrs. L. C. Killebrew, Cleo and Troy Blankenship and Mrs. Roy Biankenship and children spent Sunday at Orchard Hill. It was our good pleasure to at tend the Presbyterian church last Sunday and listen to an inter esting sermon by the pastor, Rev. T. Marion Stafford. His message was devoted to love and was indeed good to listen to. We met a lot of good people, of whom you will hear more later. As your readers already know, we had a lot to say about the good people of Henry county last week. We want to take up the other side of the matter with due respect to all, not grudginly, for the Lord knows we do not care, only that we are sorry for a per son who hasn’t any more sense, after living in this country a life time. There were some we had known for years who gave a side glance, fearing to look straight lest we might speak first. The only thing we regret about it is, that we caused them any uneasi ness at all. We know the reason of course. It was because we are just plain, poor, One Two. We know we do not bear what some would term an aristocratic name, but we do know that we can boast a good name, which is bet ter than riches, and we would not change with the Vanderbilts, Carnegies, or any other aristocrat, even if it were possible. People will act in this manner, and then split their throats singing “Love Lifted Me, or “Since Jesus Came Into My Heart.” If you’ve been lifted or had a vision of Jesus and His love you will not want to treat one in such a manner. Wish every reader could have heard Bro. Stafford’s sermon on Love. How a rich maiden lady left her wealth and lived in a little cabin in the mountains that she might teach the people the need of Christ and to love one another. But alas ! We have been liying a good many years and this snub bing was stylish from our earliest recollection, and when the Lord shall come in the clouds of heaven we imagine there will be some trying to get ahead of the others. A little error occurred in our letter last week. It had been only three years since we saw Mrs. Kelly. Also, where it was tales should have been talks. We are not complaining, though, for we think it mighty kind of our editor to correct the many mis tanes we all make, and thank him each week for printing our let ters. Most any intelligent reader will know anyway when a mistake is made. A large crowd was at the Pres byterian church this morning to hear a good sermon by the pastor. Subject: “And God was with him.” One Two. Family Reunion. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Crumbley were made to rejoice Sunday, when their children and grand children met at their home each with a nice basket of dinner, which was spread under the shade of the trees in the yard, and enjoyed by all. It was indeed a pleasure to be there and see father and mother enjoying good health. Let’s pray that all may Jive to be present next year. One Present.

Hilda was told*that the stork would soon bring her a little playmate, her mother telling her she should pray to God and ask him to make it her choice, a boy or girl. She prayed iot a girl, and when she discovered it was a boy she said: “Shucks, God forgot to tell the stork I wanted a little girl, for he picked up the wrong bag with a boy in it.” A MEAN S^LAM. “Mabel, how do you think I’d look if I covered my ears with my hair?” “I think you’d look all right, dear. But—” “Yes?” “Have you enough hair?”—Louid* ville Courier-Journal. i HIS SYMPTOMS. “What are my husband’s symp toms, doctor?” “Well, madam, to be perfectly frank with you I must say that your husband shows symptoms of want ing to be ordered South where his golf friends are.” How's This?
