The Pasting Of Mr. M. G. Toney
Mr. M. G. Toney passed away from
earth to heaven on Thursday, June
4th. His life was a light for Jesus
in the world and in the church, and
Jesus closed the beautiful rays in
this life, but to shine brighter in the
mansion prepared for him. Jesus
said, “I go to prepare a place for
you. And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where
I am, there ye may be also.” John
14-3. He came unexpectedly to the
family, although his suffering had
been intense for some time, but ap
peared to be a great deal better. In
his death, Oconee Baptist church
has lost one of its elegant members.
His pew and loving tears of devotion
at preaching service will be greatly
missed. God “bottled the Psamlist’s
tears, and every Christian’s.” Psalm,
56-8. And this is reward in Heaven.
Acts, 20-31: “Therefore watch, and
remember, that by the space of
three years I ceased not to warn
every one night and day with tears.”
These are the words of Paul, the
most Christ-like character of the
Bible, in our thinking. And Mr.
Toney’s tears were Christ-like.
When Jesus sweat was great drops
of blood in the Garden of Gethse
manie and His agony on the Cross
for our sins, and when He uttered,
“It is finished,” on the Cross, surely
it will bring tears to our Christian
eyes, that sinners be saved, and has
ten the coming of our Lord. Mr.
Toney's life was long and useful.
H’s faith in his Lord grew brighter
as the days drew near for him to
go. “Be thou faithful unto death,
and I will give thee a crown of life.”
With the afflicted wife, and all the
members of our church, let’s say
good-bye to Mr. Toney, until some
glad day, we will meet thee and
praise our Lord for the love He had
for us, and gave us for him, and ask
the relatives to imitate the Christian
life, and remember the words of
God, in Daniel, 12-3, “And they that
be wise shall shine as the brightness
of the firmament; and they that turn
many to righteousness, shall shine
as the stars for ever and ever.”

Death Of Mr. R. L. Doster
There were many hearts made sad
when the Death Angel came into the
home of Mr. W. P. Doster, and took
his brother home to rest, Mr. R. L.
Doster, who had been sick for nine
weeks at his home. They had become
devoted with his stay at their home,
and did everything in their power
that could be done for him. But God
knows best, and took him out of his
suffering into rest. His suffering
was great, but he never grew tired
or weary; but he fought the battle
through, and said he was ready to
meet God, and we feel that he is
singing with the angels around the
throne. Words can never explain
the thanks that was shown by his
friends during his sickness. He had
many a flower scattered in his path.
His going away will be greatly miss
ed by his loved ones and friends.
Interment was in the Doster ceme
tery, services being conducted by
Rev. J. J. Norton and Rev. A. O.
Hood.

“ATHLETE’S FOOT” IS SERIOUS
MALADY, MEDICS ARE
INFORMED
Philadelphia. “Athlete’s Foot”
stepped into the limelight at the
American Medical association annual
meeting today as a national malady
requiring serious consideration.
It was the first topic on today’s
clinical lecture program, under its
scientific name, Dermatophytosis. It
used to be called ringworm although
there are no worms involved. It is
a fungus disease, caused by vege
table moulds that grow in the skin.
Interest in this parasite centers
in its ability to invade the best
families, the swankiest places, to
live in the finest clothing, to pick the
most high strung persons for its
habitat, and to increase in spite of
cleanliness.
“Athlete’s foot” has increased a
bout 400 percent since the World
war. But about its only relation to
athletics is its picturesque name.
One of the Medical association’s
scientific exhibits, open only to phy
sicians, is devoted to all details of
this parasite.
Dr. Wdidman says that some cases
are cured while others seem to be
incurable, there are numerous treat
ments and no sure cures*
The fungus is most easily caught
by persons in the twenties. After
that in decreasing order come the
thirties, forties, fifties, and the teens.
Even babies get it and also old folks
in the eighties. It is worst in the
hot months of June, July and August,
and more persistent on toes than
elsewhere because toes furnish a
moist, warm place to grow.
IN MEMORY OF MRS. ANDREW
E. YONCE
Whereas, it has pleased our Heav
enly Father, in His all wise provid
ence, to take from our midst, since
last we met, one of our most faithful
members, Mrs. Andrew E. Yonce.
And,
Whereas, in her home-going, our
choir has sustained a deep and ir
reparable loss. And,
Whereas, in the passing of this
dutiful daughter, devoted wife, lov
ing mother, consecrated Christian,
we lose the pleasure of hearing the
soft strains of her melodious voice.
Nor shall we ever, on this earth, see
her take the mechanical instruments
such as the organ and piano and
make them to praise God, but one
day we shall see her strike the gold
en harp in the Heavenly Choir.
Therefore,
Be it resolved, That we with grief
stricken hearts bow to the will of
Him who doeth all things well.
2nd. That we shall ever revere
her memory and emulate her life ex
amples.
3rd. That we extend to the be
reaved husband, parents and other
relatives our heartiest sympathy,
and point them to that Scripture
that says, “All things work together
for good to them that love God.”
4th. That a page of our minute
book be set apart in memory of our
dear sister, and that these lines be
inscribed thereon.
Respectfully submitted,
Rev. P. B. Cash,
E. G. Loggins,
W. E. White,
Committee.

WHEAT PLANTED IN FEBRUARY
Mr. Dan Witcher, of Oglethorpe
county, is making an experiment in
farming this year that is being
watched with interest. He sowed in
February a patch of wheat to see if
we could not raise in this latitude
spring wheat as is done in the
northwest. County Agent Cabaness
inspected it one day last week and
says that the promise now is that
Mr. Witcher will harvest a yield
hardly if any less than fall sown
wheat. It will remain to be seen of
what quality the grain will be,
whether or not it will be hard or soft
wheat. Should Mr. Witcher’s experi
ment prove as successful as it now
promised it will revolutionize to
some extent wheat growing in this
region. x 1
ALL-DAY SUCKER STILL IS
THE MOST POPULAR CANDY
The old fashioned all-day sucker
is still America’s most popular can
dy, according to reports of 300
manufacturers at the 48th annual
national confecftoners’ association
convention in session at Chicago.
Meeting the sucker demand is one
of the chief concerns of the candy
industry, E. E. Cahoon, manufactur
er, said. Machines have now been
invented that turn out 400 suckers
a minute, 192,000 a day and 1,1')-,*
000 a week.
It was estimated that if 100 seven
year-old children began licking one
day’s production of one of the ma
chines they would he more than o 4
years old when they finished.
