THE LITTLE RED RIBBON.
SAMUEL MINTURN PECK.
I sing not of battles nor conciuerors laden
With trophies their valor has won in the
.strife;
My song is the love ot a shy little maiden
Who smiled upon me in the morning of life.
I whispered my passion; though clumsily
spoken,
^ ith tear-shining lashes she heeded my
prayer.
With the ring of betrothal I plead for a token,
The little red ribbon she wore in her hair.
Though now it is faded
I picture it braided
The way it shimmered th»t night on the stair;
And often 1 kiss it,
And think how I’d miss it—
The little red ribbon she wore in her hair.
The years have flown by and her locks have
grown whiter,
I smile when she speaks of the gray in the
gold;
I whisper to her that her glances are brighter,
Her dimples more witching than ever of old.
Our love-life has witnessed more laughing
than weeping;
We chase with fond kisses the footprints of
care;
But my own little wife never dreams I am
keepiug
The little red ribbou she wore in her hair.
Though faded and crinkled,
And rumpled and wrinkled,
The bonnie, bright looping that glistened so
fair;
Far down in my pocket
It-lies in a locket—
The little red ribbon she wore in her hair.
Communicated.
Holly Springs Church.
Will yod please allow me space in
your valuable paper to reply to the
communication of Andrew E. Hinds-
man in your issue of July 6, 1888?
I would state in the outset that I
fully concur with Brother Hindsman
in regard to the public printing in ques
tion; for 1 do think that it is a matter
that ought, by all means, to be kept out
of the papers. But as Brother Hinds
man did, instead of correcting Brother
Almon, bring forth a long list of
charges against the members remaining
at Holly Springs Church, of which I am
one, I feel that it would be a great in
justice for us to remain silent and let
the matter remain where it is.
Now, Brother Hindsman makes many
charges that will not bear investigation,
_ -
lie believe that you did not know the
cause.) You should have said that
they took out their letters because
there was a stumbling stone in the
church, and that they would rather go
away in peace than roll that stone
and have confusion; that since the
removal of some of the members to
Puckett’s the stumbling stone has been
removed, and the members are ready
to return to old Holly Springs church.
Such are the facts. Brother Hindsman,
you say that you doubt whether we can
get two ministers in the Western As- j
sociation to act as a prsebytery to con- j
stitute a church. I would state,that we j
do not need any such church constitu- j
ted; we already have one—although j
you, the small number of eight, have j
by unfair means taken possession of it
We will force you to give it up, sooner

SUCH IS FAME.
How Some Great People Find Them
selves Very Small at Certain Times.
Chambers Journal.
A “society” woman at whose table
Longfellow was dining asked him:
“Oh, Mr. Longfellow, have you ever
published a book?” This was after
two-thirds of his life work was done.
Hawthorne says that in his latter
years lie met many people who knew
him well as the ex-surveyor of the port
of Salem, but who never knew that he
had written anything, and had not even
heard that there was such a book as
“The Scarlet Letter.” Even the genial
autocrat is not appreciated by every
body in his own town. One day an
American gentleman werft into a bar
ber’s shop as Dr. Holmes was going out.
“Do you know who that was that just
went out?” asked the barber. Being
curious to see what account of Dr.
Holmes the barber would give, the vis
itor shook his head. “Why,” said the
barber, “that’s old Dr. Holmes.” “And
who is Dr. Holmes?” “Oh, he’s been
a doctor here a great many years. I
believe he ain’t practicin’ any more, but
lie’s thought a good deal of!”
A crushing remark was once made by a
would-be flatterer to Mr. W. D. Howells,
the American novelist. Shortly after
the publication of “The Lady of the
Arosstook,” “A Foregone Conclusion”
and “Venetian Life,” a lady asked that
gentleman for his autograph, whereup
on lie wrote some impromptu verses in
her album. She read them over, and
then gave an encouraging smile. “Oh,
Mr. Howells,” she exclaimed, “I should
think you might do something for the
papers and magazines. I’ve seen much
worse things than that in print!”
When even Dickens and Thackeray
met with experiences somewhat simi
lar to this, the smaller fry can scarcely
hope to escape. Men well known in
other walks of life are scarcely less
fortunate than the novelist. Take, for
instance, the story told by a clergyman,
as being part of a conversation held by
him with an Englishman to whom lie
pointed out Gen. Grant’s residence m
Xew York. The Englishman asking,
“What name?” and seeming to obtain
no further light, the clergyman repeat
ed It to him, and said: “Of course, you
have heard of Gen. Grant? He was our
President for eight years, ending in
1877 ”
“Ah!” remarked the Englisman, still
with no evidence of recalling a fact pre
viously known.
“Then, too,” proceeded the clergy
man, “he was a great general, and was
in command of a million of men at the
close pf our war. You remember our
late war, of course?”
“Well no,” was the answer. Be 0
pardon, but I have just arrived m this
country, and was so long at sea that I
have not heard the latest news. I was
at sea sixteen days, really.
This gentleman was scarcely abreast
with the times, and his ignorance re
minds one of Mark Twain’s famous
questions to a railway carriage bore:
- what’s his other name?
otherwise, I should not have replied. I
will also state that as for the good peo
ple of Puckett’s and vicinity, I think
they ought to have a Baptist church;
think one would prosper there should
it be constituted and conducted on true
Christian, Baptist principles. But we
do not propose to destroy our church
in order that they may get one. Bro.
Hindsman, you say that the Luther
ville church, some twelve or thirteen
years ago, took some of our most zeal
ous members. Now, if you had said it
took one of our most zealous members,
you would have stated the facts, as they
appear to me, and others; for there was
(according to my recollection,) only one
that went to the church mentioned,
until some "three or four years ago.
Bro. Hindsman, 3 t ou seem so delight
ed to call us the minority! If you
would count them, you would find that
we have the majority. We now have
over twenty members who are rebellious
against the removal of the church, and
if you will count up, first and last, all
who went from Holly Springs to the
Station you will have only thirteen.
Now, who has the majority? You say
that the pastor said he would come one
more time and moderate for us, to set
tle the question of moving the church,
which I acknowledge is true. But, was
the pastor there on the 12th of May? No;
he was not there, and it was generally
known by the members that he would
not be there on the day that you all
(the small number of eight) voted to
move the church; and that was the
reason why the members who oppose
the removal of the church wei*e not
present; and you knew that unless you
could get the election during their ab
sence, you could not carry it your way.
You know that you only voted eight to
move, and that four of them were hold
ing their letters (and you were one of
them.) You say that the action of the
church since the removal to Puckett’s
has been commended by all, except the
minority. I will ask you if it is com
mendable, or according to Baptist
church rules, to induce members of
other churches to vote with you in or
der to defeat some of the members of
their rights? This you cannot deny do
ing; for you well know that you voted
members of a church in another part
of the county, (perhaps, near Senoia,)
against us, who had never been mem
bers of the Holly Springs church; nor
did they even make application on that
day to join our church. Please refer
me to the article in the decorum that
gives the church that power; I have no
recollection of any such article, and
you certainly did not think that we
members (poor, as you are pleased to
call us,) were so ignorant as that, or
that we would suffer so outrageous an
action to our detriment. A ou say that
all of the pastors for the past seven
years have favored the removal of the
church. Has the pastorate got any
thing to do with the action of the
church? If so, then 1 must confess ray
ignorance. You say that two-tliirds of
u V>oi
the members are females, and they, tocyly.
like the males, are poor. Cannot per
people be Christians? You say that e
could not pay our pastor sufficient 1 to

before you get further in the wrong.
You say that you have got the record,
together with a good deal more, to car
ry to the Association against us. I
would just here state that, while we
lay no claim to perfection, we are not
by any means afraid for the Association
to deal with us in this matter. We
know who is deepest in the mud, and
we are not afraid to contend for our
rights, even if the money is against us.
I think if you are all disposed to do the
right thing you will rescind the action
of your conference of eight members,
and give us back our church records,
(for that is all we ask—we do not ask
the bibles, books, etc.,) and constitute
a church at Puckett’s and try to go on
in peace, and allow us to do the same.
I believe if you would all lay aside
your prejudices and think for a moment
that you would not agitate this ques
tion any further; for there is one thing
that should make old HollySprings dear
to you all, as well as to us, whether it
does or not, (and that is the main ob
jection to removing the church,) and
that one thing is the graveyard, in
which rest the remains of dear and
loved ones to us, and perhaps some of
you have dear ones resting there. You
know that if the church is broken up,
the land will go to private individuals,
and that we would have no rights of
protection for the graveyard; and it
does seem that if we (the minority, as
you are pleased to call us,) prefer to re
main at the old place, that even though
we were in the minority, (which is not
the case) you all should not object, un
der the existing circumstances, for we
can serve our God as "well there as
we can elsewhere.
Now, Brother Hindsman, I have writ
ten at length. I do not wish.to intrude
further upon the good editor; neither
do I desire to have my name appear in
the paper under an article of controver
sy in such matters; but, seeing that no
one else would do that which justice to
us demanded, I could no longer be con
strained to be silent about the matter.
I will here state that I am not going to
write any more, unless it be to publish
acme certificates to euE/sid&ALvto- «>uic
assertions made herein by me, or that
you may make other charges. Nor is
this intended as a defense of Brother
Almon, as he will in cUe season defend
himself.
With many than!? for the generous
indulgence of tin editor,
I am ve -V truly yours,
MltSjfiLIZA L. E. Surles.
