in this issue of the Times for the of-

Nelson is a young man ot fine busi-

faculties and ot strong will and pro-

locate Mr. Nelson when anv ques-
tion of importance, any public meas-
ure is up for discussion. These are
sterling qualities in a public servant
and we do not hesitate to say that,
if elected, Mr. Nelson will make an
acceptable alderman.

stable, situated on the east side of
4th street, was burned. The build-
ing was valued at 11000, insured for
$750. Feed $50, no insurance. Two
horses and two mules belonging to
the Webb Lumber Co. were burned,
no insurance. The cottage on the
north of the stable was damaged to
the extent of about $50. The fire
was well under way before the alarm
was given and the fire department
could do nothing more than save ad-
joining property. ’Squire Jones’
house was in imminent danger util
the boys got to work. The water
pressure was all that could be de-

A8 THE WORLD GOES ’BOUND.
I know that it will seem to a great
many that I possess a stupendous
amount of gall in what I am going
to suggest, but I don’t care if it
does, here goes: I think it a sin
and it is yery wrong to be sending
money to bring the natives of for-
eign countries within the influence
of Christianity, when here at home
there are hundreds, aye thousands,
of people, young and old, who need
salvation worse than any one else in
the world. Conyert your foreign
missionary funds into a home char-
ity fund Use it by filling the stom-
achs of the hungry, clothe the bodies
of the naked, and while spreading
comfort and good cheer among the
needy, tell them the sweet, dear
story and you will have saved more
souls in a year than you will save in
a century among the savages of a
far away land. Fire the officers of
those societies that have such a soft
snap in fat salaries, stop those
eternal beggars—missionary papers
—recall all the brothers and sisters
that are in foreign countries and
proceed to work in our own country
until every human being without
the pale of Christianity are brought
within the fold. Then there will vet
be time to tackle the poor, benighted
savages that haven’t sense enough
to even be above what nature in-
tended them.
*t*
As I understand it, 1 he Christian
spirit looks upon all mankind with a
kindly eve; knows no such a thing
as jealousy, and is free from all the
smaller feelings of life. How
strange it is then that you often see
two church factions bitterly waring
with each other. The smallest
thing in the church suffers from the
baMul influence of policies, envy
and jealousy. Not long since I
heard of a certain church society
wanting to remove a certain
officer because she was too worldly,
and the too much worldliness came
from attending a theater. Then I
have heard that there is no caste in
the church, yet only the other day I
heard two young people talking
aboue a third, and the conversation
wound up with, “no I have not in-
vited her, she is not in our set.”
What a glorious Christian spirit! I
wonder if such would have associ-
ated with that lowly Nazarene that
was a carpenter? What a life of
policy and pretention for one to lead
when they live as a better Christian
than some one else. If you are all
Christians you are all alike, there is
no degrees in that, thank heaven.
But too few in the world are Christ
like; there are many imitations, in
fact,I think that the majority are iu
that class, still they are easily told
from the all-wool-and-a-yard-wide
Christians, and I thank heaven again
that we poor sinners are able to
tell those that are worse than we
are from the genuine.

I am no prohibitionist, but the
sadest sight I ever saw is an old
man drunk. Somehow it takes me
away baok to his boyhood, and I see
him by his mother and she, proud
of her son, tells him of the future
that she has intended for him. Then
I think othim as a young man labor
ingin his chosen path,and mounting
the ladder rpund by round until the
people look in amazement at the ca-
reer of the young fellow, Then iu
almost the zenith ot a glorious
young life he sees the phantom and
turns from the course of success
and falls by the wayside, forgotten.
Yet in his failure his mother cheers
him and bids him with tearful eyes
vicinity Capt. L. R. Wade was
elected to the chair and H. D. PatC and pleading voice to go back to the
terson secretary. Capt. L. R. Wade
stated that the object of,the meeting
was for the purpose of electing dele-
gates to the national reunion at
Nashville on June 22, 23 and 24 and
such other steps that will lend to
the advantage of visitors to said re
union from our association. Capt.
H. C. Smith offered the following
resolution, which was seconded by
L. R. Wade: •
Resolved, that it is the sense of
this meeting that the president,
Col. W. R. Wallace, of the ex-Con-
federates of Bell county should at
once call a meeting of the executive
committee of said organization to
take such action as they may think
best for the best interest of said or-
ganization.

straight course, then he turns from
his best friend, and she dies of a
broken heart. He goes on after the
phantom until he is—a drunkard.
Oh, I know you will howl, “goodey,
boy,” to me and all that, but you
dare not deny that it is neverthe-
less cold, stern truth. Now do not
say that I am preaching prohibition
to you, for I am not. But it lookp
to me like a young man wouldn’t
want more than a thousand lessons
like this to fix him. But that is all
right, go to the devil if you want to.

It is astonishing to me that real
genuine Christians will countenance
such men and call them “brother”
as one oftentimes finds in church.
A fellow who, six days in the week
does everything mean and sinful,
auctioneer envy his voice. Yet
they do it. Yes, call him brother,
and smile and shake his hand with
the fact staring them in the face
that they ought to kick him off the
face of the earth. I know many of
that kind, and so do you.
I am a believer in the Salvation
Army. If all church people would
be as zealous in their fight with the
devil as those people, there would
be a whole lot less sin in this old
world. Did you ever think what
those people sacrifice when they
take up the drum and tambo? Did
vou ever look into their face and see
the trusting look it wears? Ah,
brother, forsake your vanity, uet
down on your knees upon the cold,
bear earth and pray to the Master
while the jeering crowd of unbe-
lievers laugh and mock you. Take
off your handsome tailor-made
clothes and don the uniform that
tells the world that you are a Chris-
tian. Sister, replace your fashiona-
ble silks and satins with the plain
garb of the army. Would you—but
ah, here, rav brothers and sisters, is
the true ’missionary. The regular
ever day soul saver. This is the
path of the Lord and the work of
the Master. Yes, I belieye in the
Salvation Army, and God ever
speed them on their mission of
mercy and love.
I am sorry I have to refer to it
again, but Temple should have a
curfew law. The little boys roam-
ing the streets at night oughi to be
protected1 If their parents will not
do it, then we must. The council
should pass an ordinance that will
prohibit boys being on the street
after halt past eight at night, unless
accompanied by their prrents, guar-
dian or some older person. We
cannot afford to see those little fel-
lows go to the devil and they are
going there now on schedule time.
Wandering in the streets, getting
into all kinds of mischief, it is terri-
ble. Pass the curfew ordinance.

I saw Bryan at the depot the
other day. He is a tine looking fel-
low. That irresistable smile is a
winner. His head is a well poised
one, and he has the fine deep look of
the ipan of brains that he is. His
voice is smooth and well rounded
with a pleasant, mellow tone that at
once commands attention and ad-
miration. What a career he has
had! A few months ago almost un-
known, through the matchless ex-
cellence ot the voice and his unborn
genius, he has mounted to the top-
most pinacle of fame and fortune.
Vive la Bryan.
It looks to me like the city could
at least have respectable walks to
and from the opera house across the
square. It is a very poor advertise-
ment to a town when a stranger—
and that is the first place he seeks—
goes there. If you cannot do any-
thing else, for goodness sake build a
walk on each side of the market
house to the side walks. If you can-
not find men to work, just drop a
line to me and I will get all the
laborers you may wish.
*■).*
A merchant makes a serious mis-
take when he stops advertising be-
cause it is dull. That is the time he
should push his goods more than
ever, When money is short people
are looking for bargains. They can-
not know that you haye them unless
you tell them so through the paper.
“He who in the world would rise,
Must fill the bill and advertise.”

The Episcopal Bishop last Sunday
night confirmed a large class of can-
didates. They were all young peo-
ple, and it was a goodly sight to see.
It does me good to see young people
joining the church—any church—
somehow it makes me think that the
world—going to the devil—is get-
ting brighter and better. How I
wish all people would join a church
of some kind. What a change it
would make. How happy we would
all be, and what a Utopia we would
enter. Ah me, 1 am afraid 't will
never be. But thank God there are
many who still cling with trusting
faith to the story of the Christ and
through them you may hope to yet
enter the doorway, and so may
