Co. 1, 1908. those who hear him onoe will waut wiP"uor w "" " Lexington, Ky., Jan Editor Republican, Owensville, Mo. My Dear Sir: Your persons! write up of me wh'ch appeared in your flaming paper, the Republican, was properly headed by a question mark. All such doubtful articles should hereafter be headed by you as this one. Please allow me in a friendly way to dissect and lay bare your very unjust article. First, I did not take a "hot shot" at the Republican, but spoke very mildly of your neglect to mention our meeting. My dear orotner, i am very sorry my mna criticism of your journal drove you from our altars, and caused you lean ness of soul. You will call to memory your saying, ueing present that our soul might be fat tened at Brother Johnson's spirit' ual feast, we were almost persuad ed to go to the altar." My dear friend, you are not the only one who has been almost persuaded to become a Christian, but like Agiippa, you have allowed secu lar affairs and prejudice to come between you and your God. You passed a criticism upon us for classing your merchants as "tight fisted nickle grabbers." Did you know some of your merchants said that our meeting was un timely because it was not more than two weeks until Christmas? Did your merchants close up their places - of business one time to come out and help to win your lost town to God? No, but instead, one of them gave an exhibition of phonographic records that he might sell a few more 30 cent records, Ood bless your merchants, some of whom signed a saloon petition, and fought a revival of religion while I was In your midst, and some of these very men belong to the various churches of your town, As to your ministers, you seem to excuse their failure to attend, and lend a helping hand in the revival, on the grounds of "their duties, their, charges, and we might say, their finer sensibilities." Some of them were in town most all the time, so I was told, and I am per' suaded could have attended the revival had they been so disposed. I am sorry for any minister who has such fine sensibilities that he can not lend a helping hand to one who is exposing the liquor traffic with all his might in a town which supports two saloons with a population of only about 900, and more, where persons belonging to their respective churches, and slaners of the community are really being saved from sin. God bless the ministry of our land, I really believe they are the best and truest set of men under the blue canopy of heaven, but they do not always unite against the wrong of a community as we believe they should. You will remember speaking of my failure to call on you at your office. Did you come up at any time after services at the church, and give your "wee sma' brother" an invitation around to your office, house, or boarding place? Now, as to that three column write up with life sized picture appended you would have given me had I not spoken against your journal. I count myself happy to have escaped the wide reputation it would have given me, .which I could not possibly have sustained. Had you gone on to the altar as yon had intended, and received what you acknowledge you need, from that time and forever you would have ta.en up your pen against saloons, and other vices whioh you now seem to treat with perfect silence. In conclusion let me exhort you, that in the future you be careful oi your attitude toward any religous awakening, "lest you be found fighting against God." In the dawn of the New Year form good resolutions, and ask Diuty for grace to keep them. Yours in Charity and Love, J. C. Johnson. Wilmore, Ky. Thos. M.

Says Many Persons Here Can Be Made Happy Again By Using This Home-made Mixture. Editor's Note.

This simple recipe is said to strengthen and oleanse the eliml-native tissues of the Kidneys so that they can filter and strain from the blood and system the poisons, adds and waste matter, which cause not only Rheumatism, but numerous other diseases.

He was in the smoking car of an express train reading his paper when a man rushed in from the car behind the smoker, evidently in great agitation, and said :a "Has anybody In this car any whiskey? A woman In the car behind has fainted!" Instantly dozens of flasks were produced. The man who had asked for it picked out the largest one, drew the cork, and put the bottle to his Hps. With a long satisfied sigh, hflhanded the flask back and remarked : "That did me a lot of good. I needed it, for It always makes me feel queer to see a woman faint away I" 4 ft ft S JOHN 4 14 he Holidays are over and the New Year Is begun.
