Willful negligence and gross careless

not answering all the letters sent me, My
friend, Lee Dennis, is one among the anx
ious inquirers about this portion of the
moral vineyard; his letters containing a
list of questions almost as lengthy as the
moral law. I thinkall the questions he
asked but one have been answered in the
MesseNaEß, He wanted to know if this
was a good place for printers, and wanted
to know what kind of water ruey had to
drink out here. From what little infor
mation Lcan gather, printers drink the
same kind of water that other people do
Speaking of water makes me think of
packing water. Several years ago I
thought it was impossible to pack water,
but [ am now convinced that this can be
done. The process is simple. We have
been packing our drinking water 220
yards.
It is now school days with the children.
They are going to a free school, and all
the expense attached 1s buying the books
and paying the taxes. A few days ago
the teacher asked a crowd of little male
scholars which they intended to make
when they got grone, preachers, lawyers
or doctors. Our youngest kid was in the
bunch, and when it came his time to an
swer he said: “I'll not make narry one.”
When asked by the teacher what he would
make, he answered: “I’'m goin’ to make
a farmer.” I mention thislittle incident
to show that erroneous ideas are often
inculcated into the minds of children at
school by well-meaning instructors.
Georgia and Arkansaw are full of young
men who have been taught that an edu
cation means something with which to
eet, out of the field. Itis often the case
that you will see stout and well-muscled
fellows trying to preach, or practice law
or medicine, who would look more like
they were at home if they were on the
farm or in the shop.
A few days ago I started a hoghunt
ing, my attention and eyes were turned a
few steps off my tiail Ly the barking of
asquirrel. The animal’s tongue was go
ing like a bell clapper, as it were, and 1
4thwith and immediately took old Hulda
from my shoulder and emptied the con
tents of the left hand barrel in the b("(ly
and head of the noiswsaninrema=No soon
er thaf thé' ¥uot struck the squirrel the
thought strnck me that his tongue was
his ruin. This incident set my thinker
to running. It made me think of a few
individuals L have a slight acquaintance
with, whose tongues are poisonous and
never get tired. No hog hunter may nev
er come along and pour a load of shotin
to ’em like I did the squirrel, but they
will be despised by all good people and
will finally come to some bad end. The
fellows and winches I have in mind will
go from house to house in search of
something bad. They never hear or
know of anything too bad to tell, and
they will either add to or take from to
make matters worse. Their tongue is
their ruin.
Hog huutingis as common here as deer
hunting in Georgia. Enough meat has
been killed here to supply the people,and
nearly.all of it has been fattened in the
woods on the mast. Pork is now selling
t three and a half and 4 cents, and dull
sales at that. But every sweet has its
bitter and visa versa. We are put to
some trouble in getting our meat. We
have to drive out a mile or two from
home in the hog range, shoot.em down
wherever found and haul ’em home. . It
will take two hands nearly all day to get
three or four hogs home and get them
dressed. Sometimes you will have to
shoot a hog more than once to kill him,
They are a little skttish and it takes a
good marksman to bring them downat
the first shot. I haven't made a second
shot at a hogyet, and I am given up to
be one of the best hog hnnters in this
whole country. I have seen hogs run
ning in the woods here that would weigh
over 200 pounds, and they had not scen
an ear of corn in twelve months,
There are some very fine deer in this
countryyet. I will have to state lhere
that I have had the inexpressible pleas
| ure of killing one deer, and I also want t»
‘show how human nature will show itself
even among brothers while deer hunting.
My brothes knew nearly every hog trail
and deer stand in the woods. We, togeth
er with other gentlemen, went driving.
He showed me a “‘stand’” and he went to
another *‘stand.” I stood about forty
five minutes, and began to get impatient,
But by this time or probably sooner, I
heard something coming at railroad
speed. I propped myself against a pine
tree; and pulled both hammers back as
usual. He was a fine buck coming in a
gallop. I was cool, calm and sercne as
anyone could be under such circumstan
ces, and waited until thejbeast got in 20
stops of me, and then emptied a ad in
him. Hefell to his knees, spilled some
of his blood and then ran faster than ever.
He peacefully expired in a few moments
about a mile from there. The Luman
nature I spoke of a bit ago is this: Ihave
been informed that deer very seldom ever
passed by the stand [ was at, but neaily
always went by the place where my broth
erstood, and he knewit. And as usual,
luck was in my favor and against him,
Yours faithfully, -

Bro. Waldrop Tells About His Trip to
Lookout Mountain.
Bro. Eprror:—After an abscence of
sometime, I will try to write again and
give you a sketeh of a trip I have just
made to the state of] Alabama to see one
of my brothers who lives at Attalla.
In company with J. T. Waldrop I
boarded the train at Rockmart at 1:40
o’clock and by 6 o’clock in the evening
we found ourselves in the bright iittle
town of Attalla, a distance of 90 miles.
We went by the way of Rome to Gads
den. I cannot see why so many people
are renting land when there is so much un
improved land as there is from Rome to
Attalla. There are thousands of acres of
unimproved land that lies as level as a
yard and some as good as the land in
Georgia and it can be bought from one o
four dollars per acre.
Well we found brother H. C. Waldrop
about 8 o’clock Tuesday night and spent
the night with him. Next morning we
started for a trip down to town where we
boarded the dummy for Alabama City at
which place we left the dummy for Look
out mountain. We struck the mountin
where Black river enters the valley, It
is an interesting sight from there to the
Black river falls. The first thing to be
seen is che coal mines where they take
the coal from the mines ready for the
grates. The nextis the little flats———
thatextend from the river to the moun
are a number of trees called turkey oaks
that are as green as our oaks in June and
the craggy banks of the river is covered
with green Ivy which makes one think
that summer never departs. The stream
has cut a channel from five to seventy
five feet deep. Here is a picture to Le
seen and never forgotten. The water

into sheets like flakes of snow and falls
gently enough to beat into the whitest of
foam. We had come to see the falls. So
we had to decend about one hundred feet
down the rugged hanks to the water,then
we walked around] under the banks that
have been worn out by the constant slash
ing of high waters. The distance around
the basement is abount 300 yards, We
went away under the river back of the
falls, where, in olden times, they had pic
nics. We sawifragments of the platforms
on which they used to dance. I tell you
I did not feel like dancing while I wasun

pounds of rock hanging over me and
some pieces that would weigh a ton just
