NOTES BY THE WAY
Mr. Editor:-The Bogard-Borden
debate at Balch began the 27th of
July and lasted four days. A large
congregation was in attendance.
A good many came and camped on
the ground.
The disputants were both fully
at themselves, and it was one of
the most pleasant discussions I ev
er attended. If anyone got mad
they kept it to themselves. It was
indeed a very friendly and good
natured discussion. I was Bro.
Bogard’s moderator, and \V. W.
Young was Elder Borden’s.
I left there Saturday morning
for Grubbs, where I am now in a
meeting. After the meeting clos
es, I will come home for a few
days, and will then go to Carlisle
to begin a meeting.
Farmers are iu better spirits, as
we had a very good rain, but they
have not had enough.
Grubbs is growing. They have
one bank and are erecting a build
ing for another. But they are
cursed with one saloon, and I hear
they are to have another one soon.
So you see we will have a hard
pull with a meeting, as saloons
and religion stand diametrically
opposed to each other.
J. I. Martin.
