ASBESTOS BUZZING
Just from the Mountains.
The refreshing showers h;ive
been tailing for seedtime and har¬
vest shall not fail. It rams on the
just and unjust, but generally on
the unjust in fodder time. Some¬
times we are like the razor-hack
hog out in the mountains |with oui
head* down eating the chestnuts,
never looking up to see from
whence our blessing come.
Mr. Jo»nsi Ingram, from no¬
where, lpent last Friday in this
part, lie worked on the Blood
mountain tramway during lyao
when prosperity ruse like Jonah’s
hoard vine but was soon hit by the
economic blight. His children
have married and his w ile died
seven years ago. One more is now
on the cold mercies of the world
for he is like John Howard Payne
—he has no home. He was known
to some as" whiskers”but they have
been bobbed and be has changed
jacket but not his voice.

The Holiness people heed a
meeting last Sunday week in the
grove at what is known as the
Cyrus Craig Grocery Place. It
was attended by a large crowd and
and all were good listeners.
The ant, tlie bee, tha chipmunk
and woodchuck all lay in store for
winter. Some call man a miser
he does this and the supposition is
that woffifirt would he misery, A
miser is one who dintses himself
the necessities of life and buries
treasuries in the ground. It betiet
to be cabled this than to be like
Midas sell their best friends for
base metal and make gold their
god. And yet these will tell you :
“Seek ye first the kingdom of
heaven and all things will be add¬
ed.”
The 4th came and went and now
the orators have a sore throat. The
liberty fire on the alter seems to be
growing dim. Eternal vigilance is
the pi ice of liberty.
SeoUments 01A Fisherman
Backward, turn backward, oh
time in your flight ; please make
’em bite again just for tonight. I’ve
sat on this boulder for sixteen long
hours, and baited with crawfish
and dough bails and flowers, and
minnows and rye bread and liver
and bees, and grasshoppers, fish
worms and limburger cheese. And
never a nibble—a jerk on the line
—of sunfish or sucker I’ve seen not
a sign ! My arms are fried brown
and my nose is burnt red—my seat
is worn thin and my legs both are
dead. My stomach is puckered,
tied up in a knot, arid yearns for a
waffle or something else hot. I’m
sore and I’m dirty and thirsty and
stiff; I’ve lost m\ tobacco and ain’t
bad a whiff. And I’ve got the
small pox, the measles or pip—I’m
all broken out on my shins and my
hip. It’s fourteen long verts by
the road to my shack—to cold
cream—to comfort—to rest, and a
snack. Oh backward, I guess, is
the way I shall turn; they don’t
want to bite, and I don’t give a
duru’. For I have been fishing—
I’ve had a good day ; now all that
I want is some grub and and the
*>hay!”

1 write a few lines in reference
to what tha Shoal Creek writer re¬
cently wrote.
We awakened to consciousness
in early life, and find that through
ill the years we have lived since
that time that Christianity is a
warfare. Christ is founding His
church said that the "gates of hell
should not prevail against it.”
However, He also said that it was
impossible because that offences
will com from the messenger of
Satan. Paul beseeched the Lord
that it might be taken away from
him, but the Lord said, “my grace
is sufficient for you.” So we find
the life of the Christian follower to
be one of continuous warfare. Paul
said, “1 have fought a good fight,1
have kept the faith.” Note he
said he hail “kept the faith,”
lu our petition we were assured
of that which we would not ex¬
change for all the wealth of the
world, and we find much consola¬
tion in the following words ofPaul,
“he that endureth to the end shall
be saved.” We quoted Paul’s
words to two muses once, and they
said “you will live up to the the
requirements.”
Thanks to the Shoal Creek
writer.
