—The Methodist Sunday School

i Sunday last, the services though
lengthy were very interesting. The
j lesson was embraced in tho 20th
■ chapter of Exodus and brought vivid-
I ly to mind the fact that a few years
• ago, only three gentlemen in our town
| knew tho exact whereabouts of tho
commandments
—lt was really amusing to witness
the stampede that took place at tho
pond Sunday morning when a party
of gentlemen approached it while sev
era! darkies were in bntl ing. When we
were discovered emerging from the
woods near by they began to pull for
the shore and upon reaching it gath
e 1 up their clothes and tied in bad or

it has not resulted in a single failure

seveiul homes draped in mourning.
On Saturday night last after u
short illness, little Burk, the eldest
son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hardy, de
parted this life, at the residence of
Mr. John Baston, near Appling. He
was possessed of a most amiable dis
position and his death is deplored
by all who knew him. He had readi
ed his tenth year. To the bereaved
parents and relatives we tender our
heartfelt, condolence. He was buried nt
Old Union Church Sunday afternoon.
We regret exceedingly the painful
duty of recording the death of Mr '
M. C. Faircloth, which occurred at
the residence of Mr. W. S. Atkinson,
on Friday afternoon. He bad been a
resident of Harlem about live mouths j
and had made many friends wjio ■
unite in mingling their sympathies
with the bereaved relatives. His re j
mains were carried to Mitchell coun
ty, his former home, for interment.
On Friday last the. infant daughter
of Mr. and Mrs J. B. Lamar, after n
few hours illness with meningitis,
succumbed and passed across the
shore into the spirit world, thus mak
ing the tie that binds earth to Heav
en stronger. Just a few days ago if
was the idol of the now bereaved
household, to-day it is making H<-fv-|
en glad with its sweet baby voice in
terceding at tho throne of mercy for
and awaiting the safe arrival into the ,
haven of rest those left on earth.

Mr. Wannam 'k»r the successful
merchant of Philadelphia says:
“To discontinue an advertinmneut
is like taking down your sign. I' you
war ■ to do business you must let the
public know it. Standing advertise
ments, when changed frequently, are
better and cheaper than reading no
tices. They look more substantial
and business like. I would as soon
think of doing business without clerks
as without advertising.”
