' Do They Think That Way?
Wo havo some subscribers or our

trefct their subscription accounts
seem to think that wo do not have
to collect any thing in order to print
a paper. Some of these subscriber.*
have always been friends of ours so
far as we have had any reason to be
lieve, and wo cannot understand why
thoy do not settle up for their paper.
We cannot pay our bills unless we
make collections, and while many of
thom do pay up, thus enabling us to
keep the paper bills paid up, wo do
not collect as #nuch as wo really need.
We urpro you if you are one of these
t<> let ys Jinvo the amount you owo us.
Every dollar is a help at this tiirc,,
for it costs as much to publish a pa

Mizpah Baptist church, of which hoi

in Columbia Saturday morning. Mr.
Divis had been in the hospital for
only a few dayB when death relieved
his suffering:. He was an old friend
of ours. We had known him from
bt yhood- and always regarded him as
our friend. Mr. Davis- was in our
of ice on Monday before going to the
hospital, and purchased a small test
ament for one of his grand-children,
and as he was leaving, turning back
and pausing a moment, he said to us:
"Good bye; if I don't see you any
more in thia !ffe I will see you up
yonder for I am going there sure."
He had never left us with such a mes
Btvgo before and we thought of tho
earnestness depicted upon his face as
ho spoke these parting words to us.
Mr. Davis was 76 years of age, and
had always lived u Christian life. He
i.?j survived by his wife and two sons,
T. B. Davis, Jr., and J. J. Davis, ?and
tv/o daughters, Mrs. J. B. Watkins and
Mrs. A. A. Holland. T^he remains
w<jre brought back home and were in
