A good old methodist asked us
the other day how it was that we
could find so many Christians
among the young people? We
think they are all very good but,
Brother, we think that we can
show you in the year 1913 that a
Brother went to one of his Sisters
in the church, and said that she
must not court a certain young
man. We do not know whether
he was directed by the Lord or by
ids own feelings. That fellow was
not in the same church that she
was, and we suppose he did not
want her to court anyone but her
own faith and order, so one of her
own faith and,order set in with
CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, FEB. 21, 1918.
and we suppose the good Brother
is now singing “Roll the OldChar
iot along,” and “God be with you
till we meet again.” Now we sup¬
pose all that you have to do is to
join the church, pay 35 cents a
year, don’t drink any whiskey,
break nine out of ten of the com¬
mandments, cut the Pigeon’s wing,
and you are certain to be saved.

R. F. D. 1 IIAPPENIINGS.
Since the sound of the whistle
from the locomotive in White coun¬
ty things are beginning to hum a
little. I notice in last week’s Cou¬
rier that Robertstown is expecting
the removal of the court-house to
that place. It is also whispered in
a low voice that Clermont in Ilall
county wants the state capital, and
from the way that Dr. Evans has
been been pacing over Mossy Creek
nothing short of receiving the ap
pointment of Postmaster General
from President Wilson will satisfy
him, and all on account of having
voted a democratic ticket. Hurrah
for Clermont, Robertstown and
the Dr. They may all get their
desire, but somehow some people
doubt it.
