On the morning of August 16th, 1918, the death angel visited the home of Mrs. Lula Hartley and took from this world of sorrow the spirit of Ru pert, one of the brightest jewels of the home. Rupert was nearly seven teen years of age. He had been in bad health for more than a year. All that medical aid could do could not keep him here. The Lord knew best and called for him to “come home,” and we believe he was pre pared for the summons. He was loved by all who knew him; he, was always ready to help any one that he could and especially his mother who misses him so much. We cannot see -why it is that he was taken just in the bloom of young man hood. He will be missed by all, yet we know that hie is better off. He leaves a mother, stepfather, three sisters and one brother, besides a host of other relatives* and friends, who mourn their loss. His body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Hopeful Church.

On the afternoon of May 29, 1918, just before the sun sank in the west, Miss Etta Dixon left this earth and crossed to the other shore to be with her Master. . . . She was stricken with pneumonia in January, from which she never recov ered. Although she suffered much she bore it with patience. Just in the bloom of young woman hood her death seemed untimely, but God took her and He knoweth best and “doeth all things well.” She enjoyed life as well as any one we ever saw and always had a smile for every one she met. Those who knew her best loved her most for her noble traits of character. At an early age she joined the Meth odist church and accepted Christ as her Savior. She loved the house of i God and was always faithful to her! church and Sunday school. We always expected to find her at her post until stricken with her fatal illness. One who had been her pastor for four years said that he never knew.a more unselfish, devoted Christian g rl than Miss Etta. She always seemed happy and tried to make others hap py. She loved her home and family devotedly. There is now a vacant place in that home and in our Sunday school and church that can never be filled. ' Just a few days before she died she called her mother and sister around her and calmly told them she was going to die, mentioned her favorite chap ter in God’s Word and named the ones she wanted to perform the last sad rites. She asked her loved ones not to grieve, and told them all wqs well with her. When the end came she quietly and calmly fell asleep. Death had no sting And the grave no victory over her. She is dead, but she lives yet in the good ,she has done and in the memory of those who survive her. Through Christ we can be faithful unto death and receive a crown of life. A FRIEND. v OATS AND WHEAT. During the next two weeks is the best time to sow fall oats. We hear feed is getting scarce and because of scarceness of labor there may be many idle acres next year. Try a few acres in oats. Those who work on halves can help their landlord by sowing a few oats and if you will have them thrashed we are sure you can sell your part. Be sure and treat them for smut. .The formalin treatment is said to be cheapest and best. If you never used any write me and I will give you directions. Be sure and sow some oats. It will soon be time to sow wheat. Prepare your land well and grow enough for your family and one sol dier. If you want pigs see me. We will have plenty in the county to make meat without shipping any from South Georgia and Alabama. I am glad to see this, but let us do better next year. When I can help you write me. W. N. DIXON, • County Agent. • Drying Foods. *The process of drying as means of preserving food for sfbrage possesses great advantages over canning and cold storage? while employing practi cally every advantage obtained by those agencies, says a food specialist. Dehydration greatly diminishes both the hulk and weight of the material, making It both easier and cheaper to store and tfansport. The food value is concentrated, while at the same time preservation is secured by the removal of the water. Smallest Public Library. What is perhaps the world’s small est public library is claimed by a vil lage not far from London. The vil lage itself is very small. The library is merely a newspaper file that hangs up on a wall in the village street, but the community is grateful. This was at tested to a stranger by an accident. A white-haired villager who, pointing to the “library" with his stick, said: “Wonderful useful that be these days when folks can’t get the papers as they did ” DIXON. Etta Euzeba Dixon .daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dixon of Fayetteville, Ga., was born in Fayette county, Geor gia, May 4th, 1892. Having been reared in a home of prayer and under Chris tian influence she naturally grew up,a Christian and at the age of 12 united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. She was modest and retiring, but of l clear conviction in Bible truths, and never failed to express herself for the right ideals of a Christian life. She was devoted to her church and did such work as she was able to do in the vineyard of the Lord. She was a sweet spirited, consecrat ed Christian, carrying sunshine with her all the time. The writer visited her quite often during her illness and he ever found her ready to meet you with a bright and cheery smile. Hence she was loved by every one. When the end came her way was clear and she was ready„and willing to go. Her death was a most glorious triumph. She died May 29th, 1918. Etta is gone and ivhile she will bej missed as a devoted daughter and af fectionate sister and also by her many friends we have the assurance that she now dwells in her heavenly home with fue sweet companionship of her Lord and Master.
