Six months anIi ineteen dtis of the year 1908 are gone an4 we are just that piuch nearer the grave. How many are bet ter and how many are worse than they were at the first ofI the year? No one can answer that question except God. It loes look like some of the people of Cateechee ought to be better, for they have- been preached to .and ie-preaehed to for some thing over seven weeks. This divine promulgator has his abode under a few stakes, some hemp roping and cloth enough to cover the same. Whether this little canvas is styled a church or not we have never been able to understand. The owner of it teaches there is only one church and that is the Church of Triumph. All the rest, he says, are bastards. He helps then to get salvation, baptizes them, turns them loose and leaves it with them. We don't suppose the devil can ever persuade them to step aside any more. if they ever do get off of the track we don't know who will help them back, for the "hoisting jack" is done gone. How important it is for parents to educate their children, for how many heretical promulga tors of the gospel are abroad in the land; and unless they can read and study the word of God for themselves how will they ever know who i3 right? The writers' advice is to read and pray for yourself-don't depend too much on a preacher, he is only flesh and blood as you are. We will venture the assertion that there are as fine crops in about two miles square around Cateechee as there are in the county. The Lord has smiled on the farmers in this commun ity, (no hall storms or disasters of any kind so far) and we should go down on our knees and thank Him. But how many -of us go on. from day to day like a hog-eating mass, never look ing up from -where it comes from. The writer feels he is unworthy of any of the bless ings he is the recipient .of and we should be more humble. It was our pleasure to visit and dine at the residence of Mr. I. N. Coo'k, of Norris, one day last week. -Mr. Cook ownms a nice little farm of forty acres near the No'rris depot. He lives at home and If any one should -dine with him, they wvill find that he and family board at thE same place. He makes every thing to live on at home that he needs and mother earth, wil produce. Ho raises his ~owr meat, has plenty of milk ani buttor and chickens till yot can't walk. The writer had drum sticks enough lying around his plate when lie got througly eating to have made fiddle bowa for several parties. Mr. Cook has as fine an average crop ol cotton as we ever saw. It Is nc pet patch or spot, but a good * average crop. He has peaches *a plenty. When his melons get * ripe we .haye another invitation and sonr-mouth is now watering. Mr. 0. D. Dickson, who lives~ n.L, G. Philliptyplace,. adjoin-. nlg ler. Cpok, also has a ,fine cagp of cotiton. ,It, like Mr. ook's Is a good average crop of eaoitn. No one can beat them taking the cotton crop as a whole. Norris hds under the course of erection a $1800 church, the size of which is 38x50 feet with a Morntgometad.i4W auldin are thq -,. Throttgh the energy ride. ing efforts of Mr Gariett, 'tw of the money is: now ia slil and the rest has yet got to: raised. ,The subscrif$ion s?-ia at Garrett'a store ahd any and feeling disposed to help C31 cause of Christ can do 0o by cAll ing and donating whatever they:, feel they can give. Reniember God loves a cheerful giver and anything given freely and for a charitable or religious purpose,. the donator will- le paid two fold. Norris needs a chuifth, so do what you can for them. Mrs. Elizabeth Garrett,.moth er of Mr. J. C. Garrett, Is not expected to live. She is eightyi some-odd years old and a mighty good old lady, Mr. W. P. Garrett and wife passed through this place this morning on their way to Cen tral. They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Garrett, of Six Mile. Mr. W. P. has bought a small farm near Cen tral and erected as nice a house on it as you ever see in a rural district. Mr. W. P. is an organ ist from your heart, and the writer will quit eating chicken and dumplins any time to listen to him play. The writer is under obligation to Mr. James Trainum of Six Mile for a nice basket of peaches. Jim and the writer are old school mates, hence the peaches. Mr. R. R. Roark, candidate for sheriff, was in town a few days ago. Bob is a mighty good fellow and his opponents had. better hustle. We hope the candidates will arrange to give the voters of Cateechee a chance to hearltheir guns some Saturday evening. Remember, Cateechee p o 1 s something'like a hundred votes, and that many will help to elect or defeat somebody. The marriage business seems to be on a stand-still. Don't know whether it is on account of the price of corn, two can't get in the same ,notion at the same time, or what. J. A. Brown, N. P., says he is. still sitting at the window, waiting, looking and longing for a patient. The law on debt is not as ex acting as it shouild be and at an early date we wish to touch upon that subject through the columns of this paper, provided the good editor will allow us space. We think it would be of more- interest if the correspond ents would write on such things anyway. Take up, say, the debt law, the liquor law, and different laws anti discuss the good and evil of them. What do other correspondents think Sof this? By invitati n, the. Cateechee ball team went over Saturday evening and played the Newry ,team. The game stood 8 to 8 in ,favor of Cateechee. - Durham adDavis run the battery for Cateechee, while Chandler and Alexander run the battery for Newry. B. ISince the nominations at Den ver the News and Courier pre ,tend to be supporting the Dem ocratic ticket, but it is really fighting it by continuing Its un kind flings at Bryan.
