MOUNT BETHEL NEWS. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Craig of At lanta were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Jones Sunday. The school at Beersheba has about sixty pupils at present, and from the outlook now, this will be one of the most successful terms in the history of the school, under the management of Miss Dora Petit and Miss Vernia Ray. These ladies were guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Strahn Sun day. The school at Sandy Ridge con tinues with Miss Pearl Wetherly as teacher. This lady’s home for the present being near the church. She is able to render good help in school and church service. We appreciate this, and you know we ruralists never know when a teacher has done enough. Mrs. Robert Wynn was recently carried to Atlanta for an opera tion for appenicitis. She has many friends who are wishing for her a speedy recovery. We enjoyed new beans and potatoes from our garden Sunday, the 9th of November. Evidently the weather hasn’t done much against the boll weevil so far. Miss Lilah Bledsoe is visiting Miss Ida Lue Stone near McDon ough this week. Tlie people of today seem sud denly to have swung into a state of commotion and general up heaval ‘which is causing much disquiet and a spirit of unrest most deplorable. (Perhaps you have heard something said on this subject before.) Well, this state of affairs is something we will just have to get used to —like false teeth. At first you go thru fires of affliction with them, but if you persevere you will forget all about the discomfort and re member with gratitude that there has been means provided to keep you from looking and feeling worse than a scarecrow. I’m not afraid of the times one bit. I’m glad I’m living and enjoying the excitement, waiting to see what will happen next. Just put your hand in the hand of the Eterna God in whose hands are all the isms, walk uprightly before Him, b ■ honest with yourself, your fellowman and with Him, and 1 u need not fear anything, for lie will lead you safely oyer all the troubled ways and guide you home at last. Little William Stanton Hooten, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hoot en, died Sunday night in a hospital in Atlanta where he w r as taken Saturday for treatment. “Billie” was a sweet child, whose lov able diposition and bright mind was far above the average. He was a sweet singer and loved to lead his little twin sisters, of whom he was so fond, in song. One of his favorite songs was “Brighten the Corner.” and truly he did this. Sadiy afflicted, but so brave and patient. Dear ones whom he loved and who loved him so devotedly, don’t grieve that his pure spirit has flown to Jesus, but thank God that he was yours for a little while to bless you, and that he is still yours beyond the heavenly portals, safe in the arms of Jesus. Beersheba school wall open the box supper season Friday night at the school house. They are hoping to have many boxes to sell and a great time socially. All the patrons of the school, their friends and the public gener ally, have a most cordiaNnvitation to attend. Come and enjoy this occasion and help the school. Mis’ Franc. HOW’S YOUR SUBSCRIPTION? Lieut. Culpepper Dead. The following clipping from an Arkansas paper has been received by Henry county relatives: Lieut. H. G. Culpepper, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Culpepper, was buried at Violet cemetery Monday afternoon. The funeral sermon was preach ed by Rev. J. I. Brimberry, pastor of the Christian church. The funeral was largely attend ed and the pallbearers were selec ted from soldier boys residing in the city. The pallbearers were Ra; mon Cartright, Will Nailling, Eddie Shelton, Arthur Brown, Hobson McGarrity and Carl Cullison. The honorary pallbearers were J. A. Pigg, Dick Fletcher, Tom McGarrity and a brother of the dead man. Lieut. Culpepper had recently received his discharge after sever al years service in the army. He made a splenid record as a soldier and received a number of decora tions, one from the King of Belgium. Mr. Culpepper had received a letter from his son saying he was going to New York to meet King Albert and the first intimation he had of his son’s death was con tained in a telegram announcing the sad news. Lieut. Culpepper is reported to have shot himself at Rockford on the evening of October 2, but details of the sad occurrence are lacking at this writing. An in vestigation is being made by the Illinois authorities and friends here believe that it will be found that the unfortunate young man did not kiil himself but was mur dered. The unfortunate young man is survived by his wife and two babies, his parents and his sisters and brothers, all of whom have the sympathy of the entire com munity in their bereavement. PROGRESS NEWS NOTES. Well, I guess it’s about time for Progress to wake up and at least let Mr. Editor know that there is still such a place in the county. Let not your heart be troubled, for in the old Henry County Weekly you will find much good reading. If it were not I would have told you. Cotton bringing over 40 cents, and the seed bringing nearly a hundred dollars per hundred, it looks like we might pay up our subscription to The Weekly and have it extended on for at least five years. Mamma—“Willie, I thought I told you not to go into my jam, didn’t I?” “Willie—“ Yes, mamma,’ vou did, but you didn’t tell the j.un not to go into me.” The entertainment given by Miss Mamie Jim Foster was en joyed by all present. The young people of this sec tion met at the school house and had a nice game of tennis last Saturday p. m. Miss Lois Davis of Highland, N. C.. is spending a few days with relatives. Mr. Robert Strickland spent the week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Strickland, last week. Mrs. M. E. Johnson and two sons, John and Jord, spent Sun day with Mr. and Mrs. L. P. John* son.
