PREACHER ENJOYS THE
OLD-TIME FOX CHASE
Dear Journal.—We are all
glad when you show your face
at our door and we always give
you a big warm welcome. You
look like a visitor from home
and generally tell us a good
lot of news, general and local.
We had with us today Bro.
John Barnett. John is always
welcome at our home and is
cheerful and full of remine
scenes. When I was a boy and
old folks would visit my father
and mother, and talk about
old times, and this one and that
one, it seemed mighty dry to
me. But since I have gotten out
of my “teens” and have a little
of the world behind me it
comes right handy to sit and
talk over some things and peo
ple who were once on the stage
of action.
The “hind sight” is not a
bad one to look through once
in a while. A few days ago I
was in a reverie as to things
gone by and I wanted to be on
my father’s old home place and
go over it and see how many
spots 1 could locate. There is
one if it still stands. I could go
to it with my eyes shut, if I
was not too far away to make
the start. That is the old “sim
mon tree.”My! how good those
persimmons were. An o’possum
is not to be blamed for loving
them so. He displays good
taste. But I suspect there are
few old landmarks left to in
dicate where “we boys” once
playad, worked, and scrapped
once in a while. “You may
! break, you may" shatter the
j vase, if you will, but the scent
j of the roses will cling ’round it
I still.” In my mind I can see my
| self with my ever present dog,
chasing the rabbit, squirrel,
and other game. My biggest
j fun was “fox-hunting.” I can
see Henry Mac, Bill Eaves, Ben
Mack, Henry Galloway, Lou
Young, Dave Arnold, Ruff Ho
gan, Sam Fetzer and their
dogs in full cry, making “Sir
Reynard go his best for hours
| and hours. I can hear old Clay
Red-Eye, Buck, Polk, Dallas,
yelling and making music that
| was classical indeed to a hunt
' er’s ear and heart.
Boys; you cigarette smokers,
picture show goers, you don’t
| know what real high grade fun
j is till you ride old Beck on a
j fox-chase. “Gee! get up Beck
they are turning for Uncle
Davy Gibson’s field.” Oh, for
one more night of such capital
fun.
But it only lingers as a mem*
lory, but sweet as a delightful
i dream. I close with this. The
last chase I was ever in around
the old home was in 1880. 1
was sitting around the old fire
side with my deal old pa, chat
ting things over and I heard
the yell of dogs and the “hoo
pee-go-it-Lead” and 1 said “Pa
that is a for chase.” “How do
you know?” “Well,” said I,
“if it were a coon or a ’possum
the dogs would tree it.” He
said, “do you like it still?” I
said yes sir.”(I’d been apreach
er for six years) “Well,” he
said, “go to it, if you want to.”
I was not long in setting on the
back of “Monarch,” a fine
large horse I owned then and
plunged into the chase for an
hour and caught the fox. The
hunters were Jim Eaves and
some one else. I came in home
put up my horse and was mak
ing ready for bed when in
about 100 yards of our home
another pack came in full cry
from toward Sulphur Rock.
They were dogs belonging to
Jesse Moor? and Bill Kent. Out
and into it again, the chase led
down into Two Mile Creek bot
tom, into Uncle Rgn Magness’
new ground. I wits the only
hunter with the chase and I
put up some good old time yells
and Bill Evans and Ben Mc
Donald awoke, for it was 12
o’clock, and came to me. Bill
said when he awoke he said,
"Cat, that is Jim.” Ben said to
Etta, ‘‘that is Jim.” And here
they came a foot and got there
just in time to hear the fox
“squall.” We had a good old
talk and bade each other good
night. The dogs struck a bee
line back to their owners. So
adieu old days.

CHEERFUL WORDS
For Many a Newark House
hold
To have the pains and aches
of a bad back removed—to be
entirely free from annoying,
dangerous urinary disorders, is
enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. The follow
ing advice of one who has suf
fered will prove helpful to
hundreds ot Newark readers.
Mrs. J. N. Norman, W. Race
St., Searcy, Ark., says: “I was
suffering from pains in my
back, in fact, all over my body.
Dizzy spells and headaches
bothered me and specks seem
ed to float in front of my eyes,
blurring my sight. My kidneys
acted irregularly. Doan's Kid
ney Pills have never failed to
relieve me. My condition was
serious and to say that Doan’s
Kidney Pills brought me relief
is good proof of their worth.”
Price 50c at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—the same that Mrs. Nor
man had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
Props., Buffalo, N. Y . 10
