While they would not steal from them worldly goods, yet they would try hard to rob him or her of what is more than gold -a good reputation. Why can't the people practice the Christianity they preach and unto others as you would have them do unto you." -Mullinville News.

On Monday mornings the McKibbens make preparations for washing. They set the boiler of water on the stove and set the alarm to get up at three o'clock to light the stove and then retire until 5 o'clock.
