AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY
Pfc. Robert Biaxe.held, fresh out of
Japan, visited the Belks in the Val- !
ley the past week. ? .1
Miss Pauline Self and Miss Betty '
visited your reporter Sunday fromj
<he beautiful city of Cherryviiie.
Mr. Wray Lingeries from th*- city j
?wa a a pleasa^tn visitor to the VaJ-iey j
Sunday.
Sometirres it looks Like the deviJ ,

J>e has'ir hie army enough soto.ers
to make him practically omnipotent.
He eanno; be ev
ery where at the
same time, but his
agents work all a
long the line ~jght
and day. Among
all classes. Orxe he
was an angei. He
got so bad the Lord
kicked him out of
fhe City Beautiful, [
and he started up!
a hell and its ever enlarging it's]
borders. That's what my Bible says, j
1 wish the devil hadnt of been a bad
roan, and all the women could of j
beert perfect. But it was so ordered '
otherwise. J don't know if Hitler
was not predestinated, to hell id help
fthe devil carry on. Hell hath enlarg
ed its borders. Lets forget for now
this hell torr. stvrff, and talk about
(Things we know more about. When

#et al' flabbergasted and love to
think of a brighter picture. A picture
with more beauty in it.

up boxes for the littie birds, but no
blue t?irds have moved in. Pray tell
me where these lit tie birds have
gone. When God made the worid
two tnings he didn't omit ? flowers
and birds. When we reach the sum
mers .and sublime we , hope to
spend countless hours ajnong God 6
flowers. God made the birds When
He :race the flowers.
Ladies still wait at the ma;, box
by the roadside for the spring rime ,
order catalouge. Oh, they find every j
thing so beautitul. They order an ar- j
tide t?y c.o.d. but seldom take it ;
out. The mail man hauls it around
a few cays and sends It back. La di- j
es I like to see wiiat I buy or give j
away. So let me say when you buy j
see your friendly merchant ? he's got I
the goods you want. He's d<">e paid j
the c.o.d. So ladies buy at ho:r.^ from |
your friendly merchant and let the ,
mail man rest.
The devil was once an angel, that
is what the Bible says.
All angels are not devils.
I ' All devils are not angels.
When the farmer sold eggs three
dozen for a. quarter we wonder how j
the hens made a living.
How can a preacher called of God
meet his dearly beloveds>?t the chur
ch and Sunday morning and get the
collection. Then meet after dir. her
and play golf til the sun goes down.
God said remember the Sabbath day
and keep.it holy. Man with his de
praved nature says do all the oevil
ment on Sunday you can. Yon can't
show me a nation on earth, l^nd
or sea, that has disregarded the^ab
; bath but what has gone down in rot
1 and decay. America is on the very
j verge of collapse oecause of disre
I gard for the Sabbath. Tnen call me
a fool or what you like. I tell the
truth sometimes in awhile.
I can't forget what a brorher said
to a sister after church one day Oh,
my, weren't that a line sermon, Mrs.
Brown? Oh, it was but he plays golf
a lot better than he preaches.
Oh, for crying out loud, Children.
Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel.
Yes, we say it is a wonderful
world. God made it in just six days.
The next day. He rested too.
That is what He commanded us
to do. Are we doing it or not?
-If 1 was a leader of this great na
tftm 1 would promise to take care of
every American from the cradle to
the grave. I would promise to drive
communism out of America. I'd
send it back to Russia and teli old
Joe Stalin to smoke his old clay
pipe, i would not pet that old incar
nate jackass. I don't believe in old
Joe's hectic hell-bora logic. Tne phil
osophy of Russia is to spread death,

We have just 1 ots of good people

Now the fools that don't believe
in the Second Coming of the Lord
should pack up their little old rus
ty kit. and get a passport to Rus
sia, the sooner the quicker. We have
no room in the U. S. A. for this bun
ch of cut throats. One day they will

ber What I say. One thing you can !
be sure of ? whatever this so-call
ed human race gets of anything they
want more, except maybe not the
itch. If Columbus were here today
he would discover that the world is
not round but flat, and could it be
otherwise, John?
History tells us George Washing
ton couldn't tell a lie, but the habit
hasn't been handed down to the
present time. '? I
Come on with your question and
: we'll teli Truman about George
Washington. ,
The rea' acid test of your Sunday
religion is what happens between j
Monday 4 o'clock a. m and Satur- 1
day night twelve p. m. ,
There's a lot of shambug religion
I floating around. Its not what is used
I to be. Folks have neglected it so
I Jong. Its more of a pass word. Lots of
' this modern religion is light headed
I and fickle-minded. Easy got ? just
| sign aca.xi and pay your church
, dues.
I have known Methodist preach
ers assigned to four churches, wide
ly scattered miles apart that didn't
get more than 60 dollars from either
church and got that after crops were
gathered. Some paid up, other did
net. Often the preacher had to go
up to conference with a bad report.
Preachers had a haTd time down in
the sticks', but they hadoid time re
ligion to back it up.
No matter what you call it or how
it may be dressed up or hdw thick or
thin you slice it, your religion must
be more than skin deep. Its got to ef
fect the heart, the hand and the
head.
Now, brother, sister, what you say. I.
I for one orf your gang hate to see so f|
many folks like you and me getting
all flaboergasted om a little road
tax. Scottie wants two hundred mil
lion to buiid roads for our great- '
great grandchildren, so they can be
born under bondage, live under}
bondage, die and go where under j
bondage and to their children hand.j
down more bondage just to build j
roads to put more rattle traps on to
kill both night and day. Oh, yes its i
a good thing. Its the invention of the
devil to get sh ut of sinners faster.
Just to illustrate my point. I met
a man name SAM. He said behold
stranger. 1 once had two hundred
million. 1 lost it one night when I ;
was drunk in a poker game. Now |
you see I'm quite old, blind and no!
more two hundred million can I
find.
It would te foolish to pay a man |
what he's worth. Nobody nowadays
' will work that cheap.
Now my dear beloved brethren, I
i am drawing this column to a close
for the day's session, then let me |
J say. Ego, Amo,
You never thought I'd be a poet:
j lheard a preacher quote,
My dear beloveds,
| If you have more
| Than just one coat,
1 Your duty my brother,
! Is to donate one
j To some brother
J If he should have none.
| I can't pan with
This second handed coat,
Then spoke out the preacher and
said,
From your remarks, my brother,
I would infer
You'd rather lose your soul.
And keep your old second -handed
coat.
If I've said anything to offend any
preacher or defend, come on out and
eat dinner with me.
