The Practical
Question

For hard times and all times is
NOT, where are the goods made, or
who makes them, for ten or twenty
years ago some names and places
stood higher than now, and new
names have become significant.
The enterprising business man
wants 10 know where to get the
best goods for the least money.
That's the test question. Old
Hickory Wagons are the recogniz-
ed standard. Compare our prices
with any others; we except none,
quality considered. we will be
satisfied with the result Of the
test.

MRS. FANNIE BRUNsoN.

As last Sabbath morning was Fastening
to dawn, and bringing with it another

earthly home, into heavenly mansion.
Mrs. Fannie Brunson whom all Edge
field knew. and loved is no longer
among us, but the Savior said. ''In my
Fathers house are many. mansions.
go to prepare place for you, that
where am, ye'may be Also"
Mrs. Brunson was the youngest
daughter of the late G. J.. Penn, who
in his day and time was citizen of
unsullied honor and Christian useful
ness. w. B. Penn of our town is the
only member of his fathers family now
living.
The sad news of Mrs. Brunson's
death was not wholly unexpected, for
she had been an invalid for many
months. She leaves behind, her hus-
band, Postmaster William Brunson,
and her only child, Mrs. Julian D.
Holstein. For many years she had been
devoted Christian, g member Of the
Baptist church of our town, Chris
tian of such gentle and sympathetic
disposition that it was "a delight to be
In her presence, and it was great de-
priyation to her many friends when
her strength failed so much that she
could no longer receive them. She
was always active in every good word
and work, and was ever Jealous for the
honor of her Master and His church.
Who among US was more ready for the
last great change, and how :merciful
that God oftenest takes those for
whom death has no sting, nor the
grave victory?
There are many friends and kindred
and loved ones on the other shore, who
with the Savior were ready to welcome
her to the biest abode where purity
and Righteousness dwell undisturbed.
She has already Joined in tine mighty
songs of praises around the great white
throne, and is numbered among those
who have come out of great tribula-
ton and washed their robes and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb,
therefore are they before His throne
day and night serving Him, and He
that sitteth on the throne shall dwell
among them"

Christmas Reflections.


Christmas is coming! Already the
cakes are being baked. Even now the
turkey is cooped and fattening for the
slaughter. How he must wonder that
there is no one to enjoy the good cheer
with him. Man alone is selfish. Kind
reader you will have many good things
during the festive DAYS. Alas how
many poor persons are without the
nice treats enjoyed by you. How beau-
tiful are our shop windows. How
tempting are the toys displayed there.
Would it not add to your pleasure to
divide with some poor child more un-
fortunate than yourself? A nice orange
or some nice candy to some little one
whose parents cannot afford to get it
for them! Christmas
