«ev. J. I. Martin Writes of Things
Seen and Heard on His
Trips Here and There
To The Newark Journal:
Alter my family left on the
early morning train Monday, Feb
ruary 18th, for Oklahoma* going
tip the White River road, I came
to Tupelo the 21st, where I am
holding a meetingand having very
good congregations. 1 had not
been here for more than three
years. They have not had a pas
tor since the death of Bro. J. M .
Goodwin, who was their pastor at
the time of Ids death, llis mem
ory is held in the highest esteem
txith by the church and town.
They have a good Sunday school
nnd church. Bro. J. F. Gardner
is superintendent. 1 was pastor
liere some years ago and have
Acnown brother Gardner since we
were in school together at La
Crosse. He was then a mere boy.
He is in the mercantile here, and
has a large farming interest also.
His brother, Joe, is a full partner.
When men ask for the sutlrage
of the people, I don't think they
should spend so much of their
time trying to show how corrupt
the other fellow is, thereby making
a personal tight instead of advocat
ing what is the best laws for the j
people.
I heard some speeches recently
and 1 confess 1 could not toll
whether they were Democrats,
Republicans, Populists or Prohis
from what they were saying,
lint 1 could see that all parties
were unlit for the office they want
ed, if you judged them by what
they said of each other. I do not
think this is the best way to con
duct a campaign. Why not dis
cuss measures and not men?
I see that Pro. Ben M. Bogard
«»f Little Rock is in a religious de
bate with the editor of the Chris
tian Pilot at Mammoth Spring.
Ijt't the good work go on.
1 will start up White river on a
mission tour soon. Will visit the
country adjacent to that road.
May write some notes on the trip.
1 learn that Ben Simmons, of
this place, who was accidently shot
with his own pistol while on the
train between Newport and Little
ltock a week ago, is improving
and there is some hope of his re
covery. Men should not carry
weapons, as they are valueless and
are frequently the cause of acci
dents. I travel over all kinds of
country and have never yet felt
that 1 have any need for such.
