This so excited one of the candidates for baptism, a young lady, that she fainted. Her best fellow was there, and he took a notion that his girl was about to die. The doctor was on the other side of the creek. Not waiting to go down by the foot-log, the young man plunged in the creek up to his waist, waded over and carried the doctor back on his shoulders. The girl soon revived and a pleasant smile ran over the young man's face, although his "best Sunday clothes," like McGinty's, were not very dry.
