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. Dec. 15th. 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.

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. Retolutions by Sarah Hall Mission ary Society. 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 1 What Shall i It Be? 1 Dress. Holly Ribbon. Infants’ Sack. j I Silk Waist. Ribbons (all colors). Auto Scarf. Coat Suit.

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. W. S. Gaines.
