Easley, Route 2. e As no one but myself ever writes from here, I will occasionally let you know that some of us still live. And probably it will not interest many of your readers to know who is visiting in this neigborhood, so I will write - on another subject. Well, have been imitating the lives of my grandfathers. I killed a goat, a sheep, a hog, and one of my ntigih , bore seut me a quarter of fine b6ef, and I ordered three gallons of Bour a ban, and have been having my "nog" , three times a day and oftener, and r- in the meantime I got tired of meat I and ordered fish, oysters, etc. So it my "nog" gave out, and I awakened it from my Rip Vanwinkle sleep, and g my hands told me they bad every w crib fall of corn and not near done le gathering, and when I went to sleep % I only had 16 hogs, and when I d awoke I had 26; also more goats and >r pnore oattle, and the boys bld been I. taking in new money. y - So I commenced asking myself a questions. I thought I ought to be s the competent one, as I had my t brain washed 'up, rested and nour r johed, so I answered the questions in I rotation sati..factory to myself- I had i better stop before 'I answer unsatis g factory to some one else I But-we will have three wontbe more of good times. r An Appeal for the "Bread Line." r The Boweiy Mission. "Broad y Line," at whic. 1,000 |men who are ont in the. streets for the iiglut are 0 given a breakfast of hot cofl'ee and -rolls every morning at one o'clock, is 0 one of the most 1 athetio. sights in all i- the wide, wide world. Logig before e the hour of opening, these poor~, starving men stand in 'i single line e that sometimes extends for blocks in .length, wai'ing for the coffee and I rolls. During the last winter this -breakfast was given to a total of 144, 1000 homeless men andl boys and m up Sto (late nearly half a million of the hhomeless have had their weary tramp ii aestfully interrupted by this uniq. e 2 ministr ation..

Prater's Creek Baptist church has called ajmass meeting of all the co operating churcbes . in church and migsiou work to meet with them on Saturoay before the first Sunday and the first Sunday in December 1907, for prayer and counsel and to study the wor'd of God. for advice and in formation and to agree upon a plan for the work for 1908 in church and mission work. All the co operating churches will please note this call and send inessengers to meet with us, and ail other Bapti.t church es ind individeal members who want information on this direct or Scriptu ral plans of the church and mission work, have a special invitation to at tend this meeting and let us reason together and search the Scriptures for information as to how the Lord wo'uld have His work done and let us take the counsel of Jeremiah, "Stand ye. in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where is the good way and walk therein and ye shall find rest for your sorbl."

Seaborn, IJ M. Entrekhi, Nod. C. Ulerk. The postal service of the govern ment was carried on at a net loss of $10,542,941.76, for the year ending June 30, 1906. A emoety writer in a Saouday .Jir.m nal finde that there' ar "countlesi American girls worth millions." And the longer they remain countless and deikeleea the happler ar d the richer they will bo. It is roL hard to believe that there are muen in this country who would be willing to pay handsomely for the purpose of showing that the govern ment had failed miserably in opera. ting its postal system. Practically all the great railroad corporations of America are reported to have decided to increase the we.. gus of mnIaloyce. The aggregate in crease will a-nount to about $100,s 000,000. Such an advance in wages is demanided by the iricrease in the cost of living. One half of the world doesn't care a strawv how the other half lives, or dies either for that matter. Supreme sollishness and grasping after the almighty dollar are the motives that rule two-thirds of mankcind to-day. Thel l~resident gets a salary of only $50,000 a year, and whenu it was pro piused to make an1 annu)fal aippropria tion of $25,000 for traiveling 4x pensee a storm or protest, was ralisedl. The New York Commierial says the trav eling expoees of Emperor William cost the German government fully $500.000 a year
