Card from Mr. Martin. I
On Monday night, April 22. <
about 0:30, while seated at home ,
by the lire I was suddenly start- ,
led by many voices which seemed ]
to be approaching the house. As
the volume of 60utul increased I
was certain the crn*d was getting
nearer. Taking a lamp in hand
md opening the uoor, i was con
I t'ronted by sixt\-flve t?r seventy
person*, all arned with a package
>1 some sort. Under the shadows
of the night r fleeted nn bv lamp
in hand 1 found myself looking
into many shining faces as ineirv |
and happy as! could l>e.
We greeted each a* he or phe
entered our home feeling that
every one had mine armed with a
token of Iriend-hip worthy of
very evidence possible on our
part of appreciation and personal
concern during their stay. Some
brought one thing and some another,
and now, for a while at least,
there will l>e no reason for the
preacher and his family to be hungry,
sour or dirty. We have much
to eat, to make sweet, and keep
clean. Our friends were nunier
Oils ana jrom various cimn-e>,
They were Methodist, Baptist,
i'resbvterian. and some who are
members of no church.
They were old and young, men,
women and children* and alter
some two hours locether our
friends departed leaving us id a
much better condition than they
found us. 1 wish to ten ler my
thanks to one and all, and trust
God's favor may attend each in
life, and that all in ay live and die
as bright, happy and hopeful as
they were on this memorable oc
cation. W. Smith Martix.
I want to say lo my friends and
the public generally that I aui not

selected stock of goods bought at
