XXX MOUNT AIRY, WORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4,1900 NO. 16. v . ii t-V A- Why The Preacher A story of the present day will read like Now and then, I get hold of something which even the papers chance to miss. The Courier does not know It; but Bro. Hay more is not going to be pastor at Elmgrove church next year. The change of pastors has come a-; could have built them pews for bout circuitously, but it has j less than half the money (he come, all the same. Those who church paid for 'em, and made "voted against Bro. Haymore out- j ' jest as strong; but Bro.

Then, too, he ever, that the opposition worked says nw sence the pews is scretlv, ?i.d mustered all their come, we must have a stove in forces on the voting day, while the meeting house.

Carter, no the church did. They might soem r'n I get a chance to drop give themspJrtfT' a few whole- j it in the hat. We don't want no .some kicU for being absent. I quarter horse fer a preacher, have a design of a machine for and the way to make him come kicking one's self, and shall be ; to his shucks is to trade him glad to send it to any of the Elm- grove brethren who will use it that is, to any of the absentees on the voting day. It can be easily set up, and is guaranteed to do good work As the conference day the miserable day of the annual call JT drawing nigh, the opoosi r"Tiuon to B7o. Hayfiiui? increased. Just at tn Slabtown cross roads where Johnston's store i3, the Elmgrove folks came together on Saturday, and the mischief was done right there. Aozen of the brethren were present At tint, no one seemed bold enough j "I haint a word to speak agin' to speak out, for they feared the i what you brethren says; but the people, but when Lijah Lowndes real troubles lays deeper. Ever came back from the rear of the ' sence the days of Reverend Sam store, his breath hada mightv uels 'fore the War Elmgrove is ornery smell to it a strong cross been havin' preachin' on the between onion9 and gassoline , and his courage had risen too. j Bro Haymore was the topic of 1 talk. Lijah broke right in and , mill on Sadday. It pleased ever- i said: j body, and rot a soul ever pester-! "I'll tell you my opinions, ed about changin' the preachin' i mens, though I ain't heard the time tell Bro. Haymore riz up 3riftof yerargyment. We doiW one day, and said we'ed chang.j ; want n politics mixed up wit r to the third Sunday. As fer mo. ; our religion, and ef- Bro. Hay- I ain't been able to tike much more didn't plav politics this interest in Elmgrove church fruin summer, I ain't no jedge. He that time to this. An' one mis was chuck full ov ever'thing a lick always calls fer another. At man co lid say against the de the last meetin' he seys. says lie, spensary, and it was je3t seen that we were three or four hurt fellows as him that ktioeked the dred in number, and ougt to h.ve thing out. Nor that ain't all preachin' twict a month. I seen agen him by a loyg jump. I'm sick and tired -'iein' bu;ged to ileath. I love to go to meetin' to eing and hear preachin'; but , 1 can't stand to have a collectin' hat stuck under my nose ever' time I turn my head round. I've jest got to where I'm ready to wish that the last of them heath ens was in the bottom o' the sea. JMay be a man ought to be axed i"or a little mite along the fyll season, jest to keep the church agoin', but the rest of the yer, he ought to f.o onmolested, and allowed to worship in peace. So, as fer me, I'm going to give my j vote agen Bro. Haymore on the : third Sundav con-fer-ence, as ! sure as my name is Lijah Lown- tes." Just as Lijah ended Sam As king stepped forward. Sam is the neighbor hood jack-leg. and does all sorts of repair work in wood or iron. Some people say that Sam can't be beat; and, in a big city, would rise to the top j in the jack leg profession. Em- j boldened by Lijah, Sara chimed in: , Refused To Serve. that, a few years hence, a fairy tale. "You've spoke jest my mine, Lije. We want a man that's cheaper than Bro. Haymore, though agen him as a man I haven't much to say, more'n that he's too extravigant. I ;off." ! old man Ruby Miles had been sitting on a log during all this church conference talk. He too , had a grudge against the pastor, but had never said much. He had just grown lax, and refused to go regularly to meeting, and now and then hinted that old Elmgrove church was - going down. But the way was open now. Others had spoken, and he could speak. The whole pack generally opens when one lead ing dog barks. So old Bro. Ruby began: fourth Sttfday This naborhood i was as use to fourth Sunday preachin' a3 they was to goin' to through it at once. He wanU more pay. Hut he can't throw san' in my eyes. One good ser mon a month is all anv man can take care of in summer, the stock is tuu tired to drive, an' i;t win terjthe weather is too onclement. I've about fixed it in my mine to vote fer the Reverend Cart'1;'." And so it was that Rev. C ir ter received nitre otes"tlun Rev. Haymore. The result is as oid Bro. Ruby puts it Elmgrove is going to work on am re equinomical plan next year. I guess it will be as he says. Economy of all sorts j will prevail, and Elmgrove will , grow close and hide-oound. Pro., Haymore will have to move on. ! This caucus at the crossroads was held among the pillars of I the church. It spread rapidly among all the disgruntled members. As thi voting day drew nigh, when one of these kickers met another in the big road, his parting word was, "Be sure'n come out next Sunday." Bro. Carter received more than half the vctes, and Bro. Haymore waa defeated. I'm sorry to have to write these facts As long1 as Bro. Haymore was pastor at Elmgrove, I used to ' let a little money now and then for the old preachers, but next year, the equinomical brother will be in charge Bro. Carter- a man who has never vet sent one copper up this way for the preachers. The outlotk is sad. Alas, for Klmgrove and all the other groves when they set out to be equinomical.
