A little brown, a little gold
The frost and the field unfold,
Reminders that the year is old—
The earth will soon grow sober;
But now a sense cf keen delight
Is cn the air from morn to night.
The crisp, sweet air on vale an d
height—
And this we call October.
—Joseph W, Heathers.
Beautiful lives are those that bless—
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whoso hidden fountain ubt few may
guess. -—Selected.
U. D. C. BANQUET
The Roberta Harris Wells Chapter,
U. D. C., will hold what promises to
be an annual institution—a banquet
for ail the people at a popular price
with a good “feed” and an inspiring
program.
Everybody ought to begin to plan
now to be on hand. Save up your
now to be on hand, Save up your
nickels and dimes till you get a
“quarter”—and you will probably get
at least fifty cents worth of "eats,”
besides being greatly entertained by
talented and gifted speakers. The
banquet will be given on Friday even
ing, October 6, at the Masonic Hall.
Watch the next issue of this paper
for the program in detail. Remem¬
ber this ie a big general public af¬
fair. Everyone is invited and ex
peeted to be there witb a “quarter”
and a double-barreled appetite for
good things both gastronomical and
intellectual. *

Deal' Subscriber: When you bring

ts c* marked up a year or so? We
need the money just as badly, o r
worse, than the merchant. The spec¬
tacular advance in the price of pa¬

MISS BELLE HUTCHESON
DIED 8ATURDAY NIGHT
Miss Belle Hutcheson, aged sixty
one, died at the home of her sister,
Mrs. T. H. Dozier, in Athens, Sat¬
urday night about 8:30, after an ill¬
ness extending ever a period cf two
years or more, the past six weeks
being practically confined to her
room and^ bed all the while.
She was a daughter of the late Dr.
T. D. Hutcheson and was born and
reared in Oglethorpe county. Some
twenty-odd years ago she moved to
Watkinsville with her brother, Mr.
James Hutcheson, recently deceased,
and had made her home here since
that time. She was a sister of Mrs.
T. H. Dozier and an aunt of Mrs. A.
W. Dozier, both of Athens. A broth¬ I
er, Mr. Edward Hutcheson, died a
few % i
weeks ago in Atlanta; and a
niece, Miss Bessie Hutchescn,daugh¬
ter of Mr. Edward Hutcheson, died
only a few days ago. Another broth¬
er, Mr. James Hutchescn, and his
wife, Mrs. Mamie Nichols Hutcheson,
only a few short months ago passed
away at their home here.
A nobler Christian character than
“Miss Belle” never breathed God’s
sunshine; kind, gentle, loving, sym¬
pathetic, she went about her daily
duties exhaling an atmosphere puri¬
fying in its nature, exerting to the
utmost an influence for the good and
Pure in life, and lifting every man,
woman and child coming within its
charmed radius to a higher plane.
The earthly tabernacle that encased
her noble soul will shortly revert to
dust, but the example of her unself¬
ish life, her devotion to loved ones,
her purity of thought aud deeds will
live forever, yea “till the stars are
old and the leaves of the judgment
book unfold.”
She was brave and cheerful to the
last. Though she knew the insid¬
ious nature of her ailment had r'lin
bered her days on earth, that the fi¬
nal summons might come any day
or hour, with the fortitude of a true
Christian soldier she calmly faced
the inevitable with a smile of resig¬
nation beautiful to behold and was
ready to resend to the command of
her I.ord and ’Master when it so
pleased Him to .e nunciate the magic,
words; ^Stme up higher.”
As she lived „ si she died 1 —a true,
brave, tender, loyal, Christian woman,
the noblest handiwork of all crea
tion’s wonders, a living, vivid testi¬
monial cf the absolute fact that thru
service to mankind, following the ex¬
ample of the lowly Nazarene, we are
lifted to heights sublime and in the
final hour cf life’s fitful dream, on
angel wings, transported to the glory
land as a reward eternal for faith
ful service here performed,
Sunday afternoon, at 4 o’clock, in
the beautiful Winterville cemetery,
loving hands tenderly lowered the
tenement of clay of tills good woman
to its final resting place beside
loved ones already there, the grave
cermony being- conducted by a cous
in of the deceased, Rev. Luke John¬
son, of Grace M. E. church, Atlanta,
assisted by Rev. J. C. Morris, of the
First Methodist church, Athens.There
under a spreading magnolia, her
earthly couch bordered with the ev¬
ergreen, “Miss Belle” rests from
her labors, while in the hearts of all
who knew her she lives and, like
the evergreen, the example of her
life will continue to live and exhale
a kindly influence for life’s better
things through all the years to come.
Our heart’s tenderest sympathy is
extended to all who grieve over the
departure of their loved one.
