flfy jqrald and giuertiser. Newnan, Ga., Friday, August 3, 1888. 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 ATLANTA, GEORGIA, and he knew it when he wrote them; 1 or later, and you might as well do it, 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 Have we ever had d ,as_ ma- sustain him tor who did not live as well as t jority of the members?

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.
