CUMMING, GA. JULY 8
Kelly Narrowly Escapes Drown
ing.
Mr. Ed Kelly, of the Gwinnett
Mbtor Company, narrowly escap
ed losing his life by drowning at
Burton’s Mill Monday evening,
Mr. Kelly was one of a party
who were picnicking at the mill
and a number had gone into the
pond for a swim, he being una
ble to swim, was walking about
in shallow water when he sud
denly stepped into a hole in the
bottom of the pond. In going un
der he sucked his lungs full of
water and immediately lost his
presence of mind. Mr. Gladstone
Burnette, who was swimming
near, realized his predicament
and went immediately to his as
sistance. Kelly grabbed him and
came near drowning Burnette
before he was able to knock him
loose and pull him to shallow wa
ter from where they were drag
ged to the bank and the water
extracted from their lungs.—Bu
ford Advertiser.
NEW LIBERTY.
After being absent a week will
comAagain.
Seyeral from here attended the
ordination services at Pleasant
View last Friday and report one
of the best services of this kind
they were ever in. Ten ordained
preachers and 18 deacons were
present and all seemed to be glad
they were there. The preachers
present were C A Wallis, who
was elected msderator, Robt H
Thompson, R A Roper, J I Hol
brooks, J W Thomas, J J Demp
sey, V K Vaughan, C C Tyner,
G W Southard and W D Haygood
Tly*6 are some who seem to
not i*. r l<%rat,And v. hat I had to say
about what Bro Tribble wrote, I
am not fighting versions in any
wav, and versions is not what I
had reference to by any means.
It was what Bro Tribble said
about the mistakes and I stand
to it. I don’t think we should
mention anything about a mis
take in the Bible in any way.
Howevei*, if the King James ver
sion is the word of God, then I
can’t see why we should want
something new in its place. But
there are many other things be
sides versions that are new and
many of them may prove to be
man’s work, so I ask you, Blos
som, to try and understand what
I have reference to and then
come on and we will get along
better.
I will say to Plow Boy that 11
am glad we have some preachers
and deacons that are selfish e
nough to stand for the right
thing and I tell you now if it
were not for a few selfish preach
ers and deacons you would see
where we would land, so IJaccept
your statement all right in call
ing us selfish, and I hope to re
main selfish in the cause of Christ
so long as I live, that is. if you
wish to call it selfish.
I wish to say that according to
God’s word you are just as guilty
of doing wrong as we are because
the men you have reference to
are the very best men we have,
so 1 think we had better think
over thing3 aad see whether or
not we are writing in the name
of the Master or in our own name
R6v J W Thomas asked Bro
Tribble to tell us where to find
some of the mistakes, but he has
failed to tell it, so I think it best,
as Bro Tribble has not said any
more about mistakes, to stop this
before we all say too much and
commit sin.
With love to all, I close.
Hill Billy.
If you’ve any string beans to
sell bring em to town.

OUR BOYS.
Yes, boys will be boys ; and why should they not? Now, a
boy should go to school, but there is no particular pleasure
in that, for tun he wants and fun he will have. Your boy
should alwmys be nice and clean; it makes him look well—
but even that does not satisfy his frisky nature. A boy should
go to meeting once or twice during the week, but good as be
is, he will crave for pleasure. We love a boy with a merry
twinkle in his eye ; he looks so cunning; and, besides, he will
need all the spirit of a young colt be f ore he gets through the
world. If properly trained it will be to him what steam is to
an engine. Did it ever occur to you to turn boy yourself and
lay aside your dignified, serious airs? Try it. Play with them,
sing with them ; and, when night comes you can pray with
them with a result you little dreamed of. If they can always
have more pleasure with you than anybody else you will al
ways know where they are. Did you ever notice how the
older animals play w'lth their young? It looks funny you will
admit. We have often laughed at an old stiff legged horse
playing with a colt and what a queer game of “tag” it was;
the baby horse beat every time, but the little one always
kept close to its mother, and was never heard to neigh. Par
ents, take a lesson and it will be possible to know where the
“wandering boys are tonight.”
HOME AND SUNSHINE.
In view of the fact that home touches and lives in all hearts
great care should be exercised in making it a cheerful and
sunny place. The plant that lives in the shade is sickly and
unsightly. The animal of darkness is restless, troublesome
and fierce. And what is there worse than a sickly, unsightly
plant, or a wild, lavenons beast? Nothingbut the man whose
home has been cold, stormy and cheerless, with sun shutout
until everything above him is black, every room a swamp,
ever)' picture a weeping willow. He is worse than a funeral
procession, with hearse and casket moving slowly through
the streets. These have a place and have a purpose. But a
murmuring, fault finding man is the worse thing nature ever
ordered or produced.'Never happy, never allowing others to
be happy in his presence. He carries a face as cheerless as a
tombstone, and as gloomy as heaven’s arch in a thurtder
storm, minus the lightning. Ilis presence is like a discord
ant organ ground by the hand of fate; he drives a hearse
through every social gathering, hangs pictures of gloom on
the walls of home and hastens the death of the sick. We are
provoked to sing in his presence the song of the painter Bliss.
“Go bury thy sorrow’, the w'orld has its share;
Go bury it deeply, go hide it with care,
Go bury thy sorrow, let others be blessed,
Go give the world sunshine, tell Jesus the rest.”
There are some people always looking out for slights. They
cannot pay a visit, they cannot even receive a friend, they
cannot carry on the daily entercourse of the family, without
suspecting some offense is designed. They are as touchy at
hair triggers. If they meet an acquaintance on the street who
happens to be pre-occupied with business they attribute his
abstraction to some motive personal to themselves, and take
umbrage accordingly. They lay on others the fault of their
own irritability. A fit of indigestion makes them see imper
tinence in everybody with whom they come in contact. Inno
cent perrons who never dreamed of giving offense have their
momentary taciturnity mistaken for an insult. To say the
least the habit is unfortunate. It is far wiser to take a more
charitable view of our fellow beings, and not suppose a slight
is intended unless the neglect is open and direct. After all,
life takes its hue, in a great degree, from the color of our
own mind. If we aie frank and generous, the world treats us
kindly. If, on the contrary, we are suspicious men soon learn
to be cold and cautious in their dealings with us.

I to fine anything to growl about.
