Ei>s.* Monitor: —Seeing you
haven’t a regular correspondent
in this section of IJie ’'Free State”)
I propose, if agreeable, to give you
news occasionally.
Mr. Jule McKinney left Wednes
day for Texas. He will find a
ranche life not as pleasant as an
ticipated. Cow-boys are compell
ed to undergo many hardships
while “punching cattle” a# they
term it.
j Rev. J. H. Simmons, of Daniels- 1
ville, preached an excellent sermon
at Bethaven recently. His subject
was the carual mind.
I am glad to see so much inter
est manifested in the sunday-school
at Bethaven. It is not equaled,
IJdon’t think, by any sunday
school in the county. Mr. Joe
Hodgson. of Athens, re our super
intendent, and he has missed only
a few Sundays in five years- He
is the right man in the right place.
On* of the Bethaven boys after
a rain endeavor to cultivate a
mustache received the following
from his best girl:
The hardest stoee will maeh.
By the constant blows of hammer-.
And the tons ten t shaving of the Hpe.
Will eemetimas spree* mnsteehe."
He tried again .and that time he
did not fail, much to the admira
tion of pittying friends. Lookout
Jim, I am on to the racket.
Stop and consider those great bargains before
buying your goods elsewhere.
