Health good at present
The farmers-are busy planting cot-
ton. Corn is looking fine, except
some the socialist bugs have worked
on and they never did much damage,
for they are harmless.
Rev. Strong and wife preached for
us last Saturday night. We are glad
to have them preach for us.
Hiram Cardwell is the belt boy 1

boys and girls to Oak Grove Sunday.
A. J. Hulsey snd wife of Maud, are
visiting relatives here.
Miss Edwina Enlow is visiting her
sister, Miss Edith.
There were several from here attend-
ed church at Oak Grove Sunday.
William Singleterry and the corre-
spondent were at Maud last Saturday
and had the pleasure of taking* dinner
with A. J. Hulsey.

Health Is good all around.
Rev. Ramsey gave ns a fine sermon
last Saturday night and Sunday.
Revs. Howard and Master also talked
Saturday night. The subject was Faith.
Rev. Ramsey and family took dinner
with W. M. Lovelace Sunday. Old
Arkansans will flock together.
W. M. Lovelace is out now advocat-
ing old time music. He is to sing at
Cook school house the second Sunday
in May, in the old Christian Harmony.
The Cook people invite all old Harmony
singers at Asher and other places to be
with us, and let’s have a good time
singing. Rev. Master will also preach
there on that day and is also loaded
with a good sermon. Come every-
body on that day. '
W. M. Lovelace probably will sing
at the M. E. church in Asher the
fourth Sunday in May, if the people
want him.
This music we call old is new to
young people of this day. It wont
wear out. It was written by inspired
people and when sung with the Spirit,
it is elevating to God’s people.
And Spring Brought This
“Spring will soon be here;
the snow will disappear; the
hens will cluck, the colts will
buck, as will the jjoyous steer.
How sweet the April morn!
The whole world seems reborn;
and ancient men waltz round
again and laugh their years to
scorn. And grave and sober
dames forsake their quilting
frames, and cut up rough, play
biind man’s buff, and kindred
cheerful games. The pastors
hate to preach; and the teach-
ers hate to teach; they’d rather
play baseball all day, or on the
bleachers bleach. The lawyer
tires of law; the windsmith
rests his jaw; they’d fain for
get the toil and sweat, and play
among the straw. The spring’s
the time for play, lets put our
work away, with joyous spiels
kick up our heels, 6’en though
we’re old and gray. You see
old Dobbin trot around the bar i
yard lot, with flashing eye and
tail on high, his bftrdens all for-
got, You see the muley cow
that’s old and feeble now, turn
summersaults and prance and
waltz and stand upon her brow.
The rooster old is he, and crip-
pled as can be, yet on his toes
he stands and crows “My Coun-
try, ’Tis of Thee.” Shall we in-
spired galoots have less style
than the brutes? Oh let us rise
and fill the skies with echoing
toot-toots!—Walt Mason.
