A True Snake Story.
As Mr. Zeb Hearn, and four
sons started to pull fodder after
noon some ten days ago, Edmund
aged 12 years, cried out as he
stripped the first stalk, “Oh. I’m
snake bit!” and his brother Earle
got a stick and chased a two and
half foot pilot into a hollow
kind and rise
and killed it. Mr. Hearn hurried
with Edmund to Dr. Matbeson’s
office for medical treatment, and
while they were gone, Earle dug
up that stump and killed three
other snakes all about the same
s'ze and a lot of little on-'S that
were inside one of the large ones
he discovered as he chopped thsm
up after killing them. We have
heard that mother snakes swal
lowed their young when they see
danger

principal reason why church
choirs are not always all good, 's
The first Shiloh church was
built two mile# south of
the memb^ They hauled their
logs to a‘ water mill and bad the
lumber cut. The new church is a
brick structure, built by contract
at a cost of $12,000, and it is vs y
nicely flnisbed and furnished,
and clear of ail debt.
Mr John S. Mauttsbv, now of
Raeford, deeded the church two
acres of land, and since the trus
tees have bought five acres more.
(Since setting the above in
type we have learnod the last
land deal didn’t get tbrougb.);
so they have a large church lot.
This church was organized
September 14thi 1889, with 29
members, one of whom was Dr
-W. A. McLeod, of Cuero, Tex.
The church now has 96 members
harmoniously working together.
' Or. McLeod’s sermon from the
text, “and having done all, to
stand,’’ like all his sermons,
practical, common sense, don’t
go backward, lose ground—hold
ihe line—as the fans tell the foot
ball boys. It was a great sermon
and just what that congregation
and others need.
The Currie element in the con
gregation brought their lunch
baskets aud had a fine picnic
dinner together, and by the ties
of affinity, the editor of The Jour
nal fared sumptuously for a day.
