MOUNT BETHEL NEWS. (Last Week’s Letter.) Mount Bethel’s Sunday school class of intermediate boys and girls are soliciting funds for a new instrument of music to take the place of the instrument of torture now installed in the chutch. All so far are responding cheerfully, and we feel sure that the mem bership and friends of the church and Sunday school will be glad to help us in our efforts in this re spect. The question of whethc we shall purchase a piano or or' gan will be settled later, so if yo.. want a voice in the matter come forward at once. We must speak a word of ap predation for our teachers at San dy Ridge. Their patience, dili gence and tender care of the children during this dreadful weather ha§ been indeed com mendable. Our teachers are Mr. Quinton Williams and Mrs. Kate Wilkerson. Amen to your last item last week, Observer. I would love to say a page or two of the same sort, but if I should some one would be saying “off with her head,” so you just say on. What you say is all right, all right. F. B. and Loy Strahn ordered a splendid wood saw last week and hope soon to be able to serve the public by sawing their wood. May we suggest that the ardent lover address his devoted charm er as “my darling sorghum syrup” for econemies sake ? Sounds coarse and uncouth doesn’t it? But my! you will become accus tomed to lots of unpleasant things if times and seasons don’t change. Sandy Ridge News. (Last Week’s Letter.) More bad wheather. Miss Nina Cook spent Friday evening with Eula Hardy. Listen, friends, what is the mat ter with u>? Everyone cannot be pleased, so don’t you think it would be best for us to try to 'please our dear Saviour? His love and tender care is far better than any earthly love. Just think what He has done for us since these sad days began. He has cared for us when all earthly friends could not have helped. If the. Christians of Henry county were more loyal to our Saviour, don’t you think Henry county would be a happy place. He will not forsake us it we will only trust Him. Mr. Tom Smith has moved to his new home over near the school house. W eicoine. The box supper was enioved by many, Friday night. We were glad to welcome a few pretty days.

Since we last wrote to The Weekly the “angel of death” has visited our community three times. On December 25, Mr. D. E. Clem ents passed away at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. W. S. Patrick. Mr. Clements had been in bad health for several years, but was confined to his bed only 5 days before his death. Mr. Clements had won many friends here who sympathize with the bereaved ones. January 6, Mr. Will Patrick passed away after a week’s illness. He leaves a wife and seven child ren. Mr. Patrick had lived here all his life and had friends and relatives by the score who mourn his departure. After a very im pressive funeral service, his re mains were laid to rest at Union cemetery. Mr. Patrick is survived by two brothers, T. S. and VV. H. Patrick, and two sisters, Miss Ida Patrick and Mrs. J. T. Welden, besides his wife and six sons and one daughter, Mrs. Paul Thaxton. Friday night January 18, little Homer Colbert Purifoy, the nine .months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wade Purifoy, passed away after a short illness with measles and pneumonia. He was an unusually bright child, the light of the home and joy of his grandparents. The interment was at Union cemetery Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Gordon Patrick has recov ered from a recent attack of pleu risy. L. W. Pullin’s children have whooping cough. Many cases of measles here. Little Eleanor Patrick is very sick with them. Miss Emma Kimball of New Hope is the attractive guest of Miss Josie Hammock this week. Friends are glad that Mrs. Sallie Henley is up again after a severe illness. CARD OF THANKS. We sincerely thank our friends and neighbors for their kindness shown us during the sickness and death of our dear daughter and sister, Annie Kate.

Croup at Midnight: Well in the Morning “A few nights ago one of my patrons had a small child taken with croup about midnght,” writes M. T. Davis, Bearsville, W. Va.. “They came to mv store andjjot a bottle of Foiey’s Honey and Tar. Before morning the child was en tirely recovered. The father’s name is C. C.

House Saturday and Sun day. Mrs. Wesley Knight of McDon ough is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Clinton Crumbley. Little Lee Hugh Collions, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Collins, is very ill with pneumonia. We hope he may soon recover. We will say to mount Bethel that we have lived in several I communities and all our neighbors 1 fegret to see us move, at least s they always express themselves •that way, and we are always ready to catch at anything pertaining to! friendship. So we are prone to 1 believe them, and we feel that j “we renters” have a little advant-; age of the land owners after all of making more acquaintances with people. (Enough ) Uncle Jeremiah told some plain | facts last week about people that’s for this war. But God pity the people that liavn’t got enough re-1 ligion, or even feeling in their heart to want our boys to go. There’s a great day coming. Providentially hindered, we did not attend church at Timberridge Sunday. Confidence teaches us though that a good sermon was delivered by the pastor. We know behind the clouds the sun is shining, and after awhile we i hope to enjoy some of the beau ties and joys of this old world once mofe. ONE TWO. Had the Grip Three Weeks. With January comes lagrippe. Lingering colds seem to settle in the system, causing one to ache all over, feel feeverish and chilly, tired, heavy and drooping. Mrs. Tyles, Henderson, Ky, writes: “My daughter had lagrippe for three weeks. I had the doctor and bought medicine and none of it did any good. I gave her Foley’s Honey and Tar and now she is ail right. I have told all my friends about it.” Insist on the genuine Foley’s Honey and Tar. The Mc- Donough Drug Co.
