joyable one. It is the purpose
of the teachers of thdse two in
teresting classes to have some
social features every few months.
Every young man and young
lady not in the Sunday School
would make no mistake in becom

classes.

Sad Bereavement.
Sidney McKinnon, the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank McKinnon,
of this place died April Bth, aged
seventeen years two months and
twenty two days. Avor McKin
non and Carrie, both children of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank McKinnon,
also died at the home of their
parents, with typhoid fever.
Sidney was a model boy and
had many traits of character that
were very commendable in a
young man. He had never been
a rude boy never having taken a
drink of whiskey and at all times
was strictly attentive to his duties
at home and in school and was a
regular attendant ‘upon divine
services. He always was very
thoughtful when at the house of
divine service and never engaged
in the rude ways that many boys
are guilty of. He was a good
boy at home and never gave his
parents a minutes trouble during
his life. He was a very hard
working boy and was faithful to
jdo his tasks as they come up.
j Very few boys have been raised
in this section of the country that
were better at home and abroad,
having the confidence of the peo
ple who knew him and always
considerate of the feelings of
others. When he was on his
death bed, he told his father that
he was going home to heaven
and assured his folks that he
could hear music on the other
side before he died. He died
leaving every assurance that all
was well with him and that his
soul was saved. It is to be much
more regretted when such boys
as this have to leave us, and
leave behind them the useful
lives that might have lived.
Avor was thirteen years four
months and nine days old, and
was a model child in eveiy
respect. She was dutiful to her
parents and would have made a
valuable woman, had she lived.
Carrie was four years eleven
months and two days old.
All of Mr. McKinnon’s family
had the fever excepting ,himself
and his baby. It has cost him
nearly a crop and nearly eighteen
hundred dollars. He had the
best medical skill that could be
had for his loved ones while they
were sick and did everything in
his power that he could to save
them. He has the sympathy of
his friends and neighbors in his
serious and prolonged seige of
sickness in his home.
He is very thankful and ap
preciative of the attention and
kindness that was shown to him
and to his family in their trouble.
They will ever be remembered
by him and his wife, and they
will ever stand ready to return
the kindness should like afflictions
overtake any of them.

The Farmers Union Rally.
The Raliy at Gaskins Springs
last Saturday was all that could
be asked for. There were about
twenty five hundred people there
and every one enjoyed the day.
There was dinner on the grounds
and it was a great day for the
Farmers Union of this county.
The Union people were there in
large numbers and all went home
more thoroughly convinced than
ever that the Union was a good
thing and that it was doing great
good throughout the country as
an educator.
Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Rome,
was the orator of the day. He
was met at the train by a large
delegation of Union men and
citizens, who were interested in
the days proceedings, and carried
to the Springs, where he deliver
ed one of the best speeches heard
in a long time in this section of
the country. He clearly outlined
and explained a number of the
evils of the country and clearly
demonstrated to the farmer that
his safety only laid in his organi
zation. He showed how the
great money crop, cotton, was
handled and bought and sold
fore it was even planted. Hi
showed clearlv the workings o 1
the exchange ’ "flowed how
the growers suffered.
He made clear, i ly thorough
organization, /_itfi’^ e armer
expect to get wi-v > was his, and
impressed the f&a that the home
merchant, nor the home banker
was the cause of the grower hav
ing to rush his crop on the market
but that the higher powers put
the pressure on these, who would
and are the friends of the farmer,
but are, at times as helpless as
the farmer himself. The key
note of the whole days work was
“organization.” Everybody is
organized, why not the farmer? j
The backbone of the land, who
feeds and clothes us all, why
not let him organize, and by so
doing help himself, as well as
every other class under the sun?
When the farmer is prosperous,
we all do well, and when prices
are low and he cannot meet his
obligations, then we all suffer
with him.
The day was happily spent,
without an event to mar the
serenity of the occasion and every
one went home feeling glad they
had gone. May the farmers Un
ion grow and may they be able
to have many good days like the
one last Saturday.

that several parties are claiming
to be Deputy Sheriffs under me;

papers turned over to them by
us, to subscribe to the usual oath,
'and give bond as required by
law, in cases of Deputy Sheriffs.
Yours to serve,
