Round Oak has almost died
n,p on the stalk since sehoff c'os
ed and all the visiting girls have
left, exc* t >t one. Uni of th ■
boys is strictly in it still and you
can tell it, by the oft .part of his j
lips, which exposes to view
other boys a:o wearing rather an
inehunently seldom look, mixed
p with kind of goneness or thar-
row ox EC Oi on

Did tho readers of this o\ei
notice how few people know lmw
ito wash their hands. For exam¬
ple, a man came into the store of
F S Johnson with his hands al¬
most cover, d with mud, had been
working with a broken wheel. He
ashed that sonic water lie put in , 1
a pan for him, which I did, H
grabbed the soap first thing, rub¬
bing it all over his muddy hands,
driving tho grit into the soap
which renders it almost worthless
for future use, as there is no way
of getting rid of tho grit, it g >cs
on into tho soap as it is used, un¬
til tho cake is worn entirely away.
As soon ns the soap was mixed up
with the mud, both wore rubbed
all over tho wrist where there was
no mud, as well as on th e wrist¬
bands of tho shirt. The mud and
soap were hurriedly washed off
and tho real cleaning of the hands
was done on tho towel. Tho cor¬
rect process is this: First strip
all tho mud cam off the.hands,
one with the other, then wash
all (lie loose mud and grit eff
with clear water. Throw out the
muddy water and put in a new
-apply of clear water. Rub the
hands well witji soap and con¬
tinue the rubbing ’till all the
stnin is off, then wash off tho soap
and the hands are clean, after
which, wipe the water oft'on the
towel. By H is process you have
dean wristbands, towel not
much soiled and no grit stuck in
the soap.

Yum* correspondent has been
.old by a number of Tin:
readers that they like very much
lo hear .Tom Rev Irb Ilicks, the
weather prophet, asking that tho
forecast for the next week he
printed iu this week’s News. The
most skeptical person must ad¬
mit that the Rey Hicks hit the
i,nil on the head fur the I as Five k
in June. Now hear him for the
first week in Jnlv. “In cense-
pienceof the mercury disturb-
mice we will cotne into July with
cloudy weather and drizzling
rain in many sections, On and
touching the Bad and o.-'d this un¬
settled condition will grow into
more pronounced storm eornli-
t inn. It will turn much warmer,
,ho atmosphere will grow muggy
and close, the barometer will fall
some solid thunder storms
with local rains, will pass over
the country in their usual order.
In eastern parts of the country
these stormsmiiy nut entirely sub¬
side before the 4th, giving pa¬
triots and picnicers some proba¬
ble showers to wash down re-
freshmeuts and cool superheated
oratory. A change to cooler will
come along behind the rain at
this period, but the influence, of
mercury will tend to prolong
cloudiness with drizzle or high
humidity. fonmisly

A TiilsuG' of Lovr.
Mrs A i 11 i>> Baker, wile of ihom-
as Daker, dim ! iu her .homo in
.Jones county, near Hdfcertfvijio
Ga, Juno 18, 1908. When this
sail announcement passed from
ono to another, war tho county,
it produced profound surprise and
sorrow to every heart, Jt. con’d
hardly be nv,lived by any of her
friends that tins good woman had
boor, called away iSt ) early, for
life’s morning was far 1 corn tho
noon hour when tho summons
came. Slid was onl v 2 I years of
ago at tho lime of her death#
Only about sixteen husband months had j
flown since a dour was
taken from her. Shelias gone in
the early hours of life to dwell in
the mansions of lovo with Char-
lie.
To those who knew this Chris-
tinn woman, it would he suptu flu-
ous for mu to fay a word of praise,
for those w ho kuesv her host lov-
ed her most. She was a true iDid
loyal Christian. She was convert-
eland j.eiued Hie Methodist
church'when .juite a child, As
a wife she sought to comfort ami
b) a helpmate Abetter match¬
ed and happier couple never
lived together than tho and Tom
which was only for such a short
time, being about six months,
How her loving and devoted bus
band will miss her sweet face,
her cheerful voice, and her ovoi
helping liaii I, for she so often
soothed his sorrows, relieved his
cares and her very presence was
a blessing and benedicton to him
and his home.
How sid that they should sr
soon he sepernled. Two preciom
little girls, she loved and was s-
devoted to them are left. As a
mother she was kind, pa¬
tient and solf-sacnlioiiig,' No
mother loved her children and
Home more than she did. It is no
simple compliment to say, Dial
m all the relations of life she il¬
lustrated and adored tho gospel
of Jesus Christ. Her illness was
for more than two weeks and hm
suffering w as intense but bhe bun
them patiently, without a nuii-
ill u r.
I saw her the day before she
was taken sick. Bho looked so
healthy but now she is no more.
Her dear mother and kind friends
did all to help her husband savi
her but all to no avail.
It is heart-breaking to think
that we will never see her radiant
face, or hear her sweet voice
again. We all have ono sweet
consolation that “God worked
all things together for good t.
those that love him J > God never
does an unkind act but still it h
hard to give up those wo love
dearly.
Tho memory of Vinia will al¬
ways have n resting place in nlll
hearts, long after the green grass
grows over and around tho last
resting [dace of one so dear.
Bhe was laid to rest at Griffin V
chapel June If) to await tho com¬
ing of her husband and children.
‘•She is not in the cold and durknci-'s,
She is not in the wind and rain
She is not where her pale form sleep-
eth,
But far away from tears and pain.
When that morrow,
Forever safe from fears and pain,
Shall call us back, tho' far we roam,
Safe evermore from care and sorrow.
We all shall meet her in our Father's
home.”
Weep not dear mama, husband
children and loved ones but lo
resigned to our Father’s will to
wait a few more days and then
we all vi lii meet again.
