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.

STORK'S ERROR.
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*
