Fine Crops in North-Western Stokes
A Baptizing.
Brim, R. F. D. No. I, July It).
Mr. Editor:
We have one of the best cfops
in this section we have had for
years. Corn is nearly all laid by.
; Tobacco is looking unusually well.
! Wheat is about all in the stack
| and good. Gardens are good.
.More beans and potatoes than
many years before. More cow-peas
sowed than has ever been sowed
in two years before. f
Farmers are not lazy' up here,
either, Mr. Me. T see where you
are right for going for any man that
calls us farmers lazy. I work in
the sun every day and don't look
■ for shade until dinner time, and
1 them rascals that call us lazy
! take an umbrella to go to dinner
overheads, or to the postottiee,
when we are baked in the sun in
j the open field 12 hours each day.
Give them some more yet, Mr.
j Me.
Farmers up here are not asleep.
; We are making more grass, plant
ing more fruit trees, fixing up our
yards, improving our farms more
than ever before.
The writer attended the Primi
j tive Baptist church Sunday at
i Auburn. Two persons joined
the church and were babtized, Mr.
and Mrs. Fed Holt. That is one
| way our Brother Baptists have the
J drop on all other churches. They
| dont have to have any revival
meetings to add to their church.
They fall in line a few each meet
ing, cool and quiet, without any
extra effort on the church or
' preaching.

LETTER FROM BACH NO. 3.
Lone Pine. July 2.
Mr. Editor.
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper for a few words to
"Speak What I Think." Now, my
friend, just consider these few
tilings, you uphold the liquor so (
very much you surely must like j
the stuff very well. You said in
your letter through the RejKirtor J
that they were getting on the old i
men's toes, yes, and a lot of young i
men's also. You ask your friend ,
in lowa to visit yon and you would j
have a tine time drinking. Do j
not advise your friend that way, J
tell him to come and you will get |
your Bible and have praver meet-1
itiganda Bible reading. My friend, j
its wrong for you to teach your j
lowa friend so. Read your Bible
just a little more and see where it 1
says For he shall be great in the |
sight of the Lord and shall drink !
neither wine nor strong drink and j
he shall be filled with the Holy |
Ghost. Is this not warning my |
friend to us? Yes and we ought |
to obey these rules and be guided i
by them on through life and when '
we are called up before our God I
we can go with a willing mind. J
My friend there is just as many |
killed with liquor as there is
killed with any other poison. My :
friend you said in your letter that !
you know a lot of people that used !
whiskey that did not use tobacco,
but I think you nre widely mis
taken for 1 don't think there is
one out of a hundred that uses
one, but what uses the other. We
must not let this demon get its
clutches on us. we must, fight it
oil and when our thirst gets so
great for the stuff just be like our
Savior was when the devil tried to
tempt Him. Let's say get thee be
hind me, satan.
I have heard men say if I just
crmld quit drinking I do not know
what I would give. They could
stop right then if they would try.
I have heard men say that they
wanted to kill themselves by
Th inking and if they knew they
were going to die a drunkard they
would get down on their knees
and go to begging the Lord to
have mercy on them for their so
d ings.
With success to the Reporter
and it readers I'll ring off for fear
' of the waste basket.

DOM KSTIC TRJUBLES.
It. is exceptional to find a family
where there are no domestic rup
tures occasionally, but those can
Ibe lessened by having Dr. King's
New Life Pills around. Much
t ouble they save by their great
work in Stomach and Liver trou
bles. They not only relieve you,
but cure. 25c. at all Drug Stores.
