TUEIN.
Rev. R. F. Smith, of Locust Grove,
spent Saturday night with Mr. Glenn
Bailey, on route to White Oak Grove
church, where he harl an appointment
to preach Sunday. Thin church is now
without a pastor.
The many Turin friends of Dr. Jas.
Stacy deeply sympathize with him in
bis affliction, and pray that he may be
■ pared many years yet to proclaim the
tidings of Balvation to the sorrowing
•nea of earth. No pastor who has min
iatured to the spiritual needs of our
people stands higher or is more unirer-
•ally beloved. May God spare and
bloHs him, is the prayer of the writer.
We heard a man give his reasons the
•ther day for quitting the cotton mills
and returning to the farm. His main
reasons wore: First, on the farm he
paid no house rent: second, did not
bjtvy to buy firewood; third, did not
ITavo to buy vegetables, fruits, etc,, as
he was forced to do in a factory homo,
where his whole time had to he given
to his employer. Other reasons ad
vanced by this man lead us to believe
that, thousands of families now em
ployed in the factories would be better
•IF on the farm. It has always seemed
strange to us thHt so many people seek
menial employment in the cities in
preference to a life of comparative in
dependence In the country.
Quite a number of fine porkers were
slaughtered in our community during
tho recent cold spell, and many fortu
nate families nre now enjoying the lux
ary of backbone, sparerib, etc.
We understand that litigation is like
ly to grow out of the settlement of
cortain cotton contracts or, ruther,
failure to settle.
Special services will be held at tho
MothodiBt church on Christinas Day,
and the pastor desires a full attend
ance.
Judging from the number of Senoia
people who are selling out and moving
to other points, one would infer that
the now railroad has not benefited that
tdwn very much.

LONE OAK.
Last Friday evening’s entertainment
at tho achool-nouBe afforded much en
joyment to those in attendance, and
Betted quite a neat sum for the use of
the local committee of the Woman’s
Home Missionary Society. Among the
“performers,” Mr. J. I,, Prickctt de
lighted the audience by a rendition of
a passage from “Major Jonoa’ Court-
■bip,” prefaced by a famed wolf-intro
duction borrowed from "Mark Twain.”
Tho other gentlemen of mature age
who had promised to draw on the rep
ertoire of their school-boy days for the
evening’s urogramtno were overcome
by diffidence Hnd failed to appear “in
puldic on the stage.” Among others
who were kind enough to recite was
Miss Ruth Nall, who graphically de
picted Homebody’s courtship and its re
mit, and to whom was awarded the
prize, a beautiful little calendar, the
decoration in pyrography by Miss Her
ring. The St. Marks’ string band gen
erously suppliod tho music for the oc
casion, adding much to tho enjonyment
•f all present and winning commenda
tion and grateful appreciation from the
ladies in charge.
Tho inclemency of the weather Sun
day morning forbade attendance on
Sunday-school or church services, oc
casioning general disappointment to
those who had hoped to listen to the
now pastor. Rev. L. R. Rivers. He.
however, braved the elements in an
elTort to meet his appointment, and
was a welcome guest for the day at
the home ol' Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Cul
pepper.
M rs. M. M. Sewell’s hhIo of planta
tion tools and farm products was held
last Wednesday. Mrs. Sewell has
leased her horn" and farm, and she and
her mother, Mrs. Forihy Culpepper,
have arranged to move to the homo of
her brother, Mrs. .la*. E. Culpepper,
at Lutherville. They will he sadly
missed by their Lone Oak relatives
and friends.
Mrs. J. F. Nall, who has been quite
sick for several days, is improving.

Give Some One Pleasure.
Savannah Pres*.
In less than one week it will be
Christmas Day. The noliday spirit is
already in the air, and it is evident
that this is is going to he one of the
happiest Christmases the South has
seen Hince the Civil War.
It is incumbent upon us to make as
many people happy during this time as
possible. Now, this is not a shop early
editorial, but it is just as important.
We sympathize with the working
men and women, and young girls, too,
who have to labor so hard during the
last few days before Christmas wait
ing upon those who put off their shop
ping until late, and we hope all who
can do so will buy their holiday goods
as soon as possible : but this editorial
has another purpose in view.
It is within the province of every
man and woman who reads this article
to do something to brighten the Christ
mas season for some one who does not
expect it. There are certain ones
whom all of us feel we must give
Christmas presents to, and with this
class the article has nothing to do.
Its purpose is, if possible, to awaken
in the reader’s breast the desire to do
the unexpected this year. Give some
thing to somebody who needs it, and
who doesn’t know you know they need
it, or care whether they get it or not.
There are thousands of people, both
grown-ups and little tots, who get pre
cious little joy out of the Heason which
is supposed to be universally joyful.
Try to find out one of these unfortu
nates and assist in making their Christ
mas a joyful one. It will not be hard
to do.
If you can do so, pick out some poor
unfortunate and give them a surprise
on the morning of the glad birthday.
It is the unexpected gift that bringH
joy and lightens the heart, both of giv
er Hnd recipient.
If you don’t believe it, try it this
year and see what effect it has.

Sometimes an enemy may, unwitting
ly, do one a greater kindness than a
friend. And so it is that the “last en
emy that shall be conquered” haB set
tled many a question for God’s saints.
Ill health and approuching old age may
dismay one of God’s children, when,
lo! the Grim Reaper ends the journey,
and the saint is laid in the last bed to
await the completion of salvation.
Our Bister, Eugenia Palmer, was born
for youth, beauty, health, love and joy.
After her bereavements she said, “The
cup that my Father hath given me,
shall I not drink it?” When able she
was ever at the church service, the
prayer-meeting, the Sunday-school and
missionary meeting.
We trust the girls she taught are
grounded in the faith and established
in Christian character. We saw her
growing a little weaker, a little lesa
mirthful, and knew she must be enter
ing the straits that await humanity.
She met the inevitable with smiling
patience, and went on her way un
shrinking.
Is it all lost—the care of her aged
mother, her love of her sisters and
brothers? Did it profit nothing that
she made the herb and flower grow un
der her hand? Is all the sweetness
gone from the flowers she gave us?
No; she has gone where all dear things
are perennial, and where she shall ever
more serve Him who has washed her in
His own blood and made her whiter
than snow So, be it resolved—
1. That we cherish her memory, and
commend her old-fashioned ways of
loveliness and faithfulness, especially
to our girls.
2. That the Sarah Hall Missionary
Society add her name to the long list

Obituary.
Mrs. Fsrnia Catharine McKoy (nee
Shell) was born near Turin, Ga., March
20. 1838. and went away to the home
above Oct. 31, 1909.
Sister McKoy was converted in child
hood and joined the Methodist church
at 6 years of age, and for more than
sixty years lived a positive Christian
life. In early life Hhe taught school,
nod all along through life she was an
efficient Sunday-school teacher and
worker. In her the pastor had always
a friend and strong supporter. The
life that has just closed was not one of
ease. Twice in widowhood, for many
years with tender children as her care,
she struggled on. faithful to every
trust, and won at last the welcome of
her Lord. Her first marriage was to
Dr. John Guy. who died during tho
war. leaving her with two children.
In 1S75 she was married to Mr. J. T.
McKoy. In assuming this new relation
she came into the resoonsible place of
stepmother to seven children. In 1893
she was again left in widowhood, with
three daughters as gems to polish.
These daughters, stepchildren, grand
children, brother, sister, and a large
number of friends and relatives, are
left to cherish her memory, and will be
inspired by her noble example. Dur
ing her last sickness the names of
loved ones gone were often upon her
lips. We can hut believe that she is
with them now, and it is a blessed
hope that we may find her again.
