Hurrah for Miss Smith.

Miss Libbie Smith, of East Norwalk,
Connecticut, was to have been married to
Elmer Merrill, q merchant of Staten Is
land, New York, on Christmas night, but
at her own instance the marriage was in
definitely postponed. In latter to the
New York World, the Rev. Frank e.
Robbins, Miss Smiths pastor, explains
why it was that the young lady declined
to allow the marriage to proceed, as fol-
lows:
ssMiss Smith is diligent Bible student
and withal most devout young Chris
tian woman, and having failed in her
earnest and constant endeavors to win
this young man to accept Christ as his
Saviour the, conviction grew upon her
that she ought not to marry him. The
Apostle Pauls stern warning to Chris
,tians, BE not unequally yoked with un-
believers was accepted by her in all se-
riousness. The question arose: Ifshe did
not possess sufficient influence over this
Young man to effect his reformation be-
fore, would she after marriage? Common
sense answered no. There was no Wis
ion. no Mysteries, nothing but good, old
fashioned common sense about 1t ALL
Miss Smith is evidently made Of the
right kind ofstuff, and will doubtless be
sgreat deal happier without Mr.. Merrill
fflssn she would have been with him.
There would probably not be SO much
rparryingif if Miss Libbie's policy should
BIS goaerally agreed upon, but there
would upquestionably be more happi-
ness. Marrying wicked young men to
reform them is snare and delusion.
There has been too much of this sort of
thing all over the country. It is the
source of most domestic woe, and comes
out in nearly every divorce trial. No.
body ever heard ofa young man marry
ing bad young woman to reform hsr-
why should not the women have as much
sense as the men?

The Annual Hop Of the Chiquola Ger.
man Club.

The dance which ushered ont the cd
year in this city was an elegant climax to
successful social season. The Chiquola
German Club, in this latest venture, un-
doubtedly surpassed all similar efforts in
its previous history. More than one
hundred persons were in active attend
ance, and during the progress of the func-
ton the spacious dining room Of the
Chiquola Hotel was scene of typical
new year brightness and beauty. Lovely
faces, handsome gowns and a conspicu
ously pervading animation appealed per-
fectly to the pleasure-loving aud artistic
senses.
Music was furnished by Bearden's Or
chestra OF seven pieces from Augusta,
and it is but merited praise to say that no
finer dance music has ever delighted this
section. Perfect time and harmony char
acterized the work of this aggregation,
and in the strains of every air could be
found an inspiration and revelation.
The dance was opened at 9:3O O'Clock
with the first feature Of the arranged
programme, grand march, gracefully
led by Mr.. George W. Evans, the Presi-
dent of the Club, with Miss Maggie
Evans. The order of dances was then
observed as follows: Waltz, two-step,
qusdrille, polka, waltz, shottische, Ian
GERS, two-step, waltz, quadrille, waltz,
two-step.
The German was danced from to a.
m, Mr.. Geo. W. Evans skilfully leading
and nearly forty couples participating.
Among the visiting ladies were the fol-
lowing: Miss Sarah Jenkins, of Green
Vile, May Davies, of Chase City, Va,

Obituary.

Mrs. Emily Keaton was born Nov. 9th,
1925, and died Dec. 25th, 1896, aged II
years month and l6 days. She was bu.
lid in the cemetery at EbensZer Church.
She was the daughter Of the late Elijah
and Nancy Major, who raised II children,
sons and 4 daughters, all OF whom but
one, Mrs. Bette Moore, now of Texas,
have preceded her to the eternal world.
In early life--probsbly in the great revi.
val OF 1S45-she was born of the Holy
Spirit, and united with the Baptist Church
at Meals Creek, where she continued
pious, godly member until called OF her
Lord to higher place, in heaven. She
was of meek and quiet disposition,
strong in faith and hope, adorning the
doctrine Of God her Saviour. So that
though called to pass through many trying
oroesls, she was never known to waver in
faith or hope, nor to complain at the bur-
dens she was compelled to bear. While
yet young, she was welded to Mr.. John
Keaton, the one of her choice, with whom
she lived prosperously and happy until he
was taken from her in 1864. The manner
of his going was enough to have caused
less nobler Spirits to have faltered or given
way to despair. In that terrible "crater,"
near Petersburg, Va, his body was torn
&uu luduslCN1 oSbo lava thOSC LILO
tai spirit took its upward flight. Left
with two sons and two daughters, all
small, life's struggle began. These che
raised in the nurture of the Lord, trained
to useful service and educated far beyond
many of greater means, thus fitting them
for high and noble spheres of usefulness.
Her daughters became efficient teachers in
our public schools until their marriage,
one to Mr.. A. A. Green the other -
-, and each are now filling the posi-
ton of wife and mother in their happy
homes. Thus has passed away f. ON US
one who had filled we'll every station called
upon to occupy. One who "fought good
fight, kept the faith, finished her course and
received the crown awarded by our Lord
to all his faithful ones.
Peaceful be thy silent slumbers,
Peaceful in the grave 80 low,
Thou no more wilt join our number
Thou no more our songs shalt know"
"Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee
v ,ere no fareH ell tear ia she'd"

Christmas recscu of very quietly in
this neighb;.lhJod. 1t seemed like one
continued Sunday. The absence of the
cracker and other noise was conspicuous
ly noticeable. The weather was all that
could be desired, thus affording the young
people every advantage in having pleas
ant time, and older ones as we'll.
It makes us feel sad when we take
retrospective view. Another year has
gone, and with it all opportunities and
privileges that we did not use as we
should have done, but we should let the
mistakes and failures of the past be an
incentive to help US do better in the fu-
ture.
We wish every reader of the INTELL1-
aENcER a most prosperous year; long
life and happiness, and at last an entrance
into the haven of etornal rest.
On account of sickness the pastor at
Ruhamah could not fill his appointment
last Sunday. The congregation of the
above Church are very much elated on
account Of the return Of Rev. Mr.. Dun
cnn to this Circuit.
Rev.. n. G. Wright has been called to
Shiloh Church the present year for two
Sundays per month. We have not been
advised whether or not he will accept.
Among our visitors during the holi-
days we note the following: Misses
Addie Harrison, Minnie Weldon and Jo-
sic Reeder, of Lavonia, Ca; Misses Allie
and Genevieve Simpson and Eleanor and
Lula McGregor, of Anderson; Misses
Mamie and Zelia Phillips, of GAINESVILLE,
Ca, and Miss Lula Peek, of Oak Bower,
Ga.
The health Of our community is not
good. We have quite a number of cases
of the grippe. Among the worst cases
are Rev. and Mrs. J. r. Earle and Jack
Glenn. We hope soon to note their res
toration.
The Sunday School at Cross Roads
elected DR.. Diver last Sunday for Su-
perintendent for this year. We think
the selection good one.
We have been informed, siuce writing
the above, that Rev. Mr.. Wright, the pas
.or-elect, will preach at Shiloh next Sat-
urdsy and give the church an answer
whether or not he will accept the pastor
ate.
"There are lonely hearts to cherish,
While the days are going by,
There are weary souls who perish.
While the days are going by.
If smile we. can renew
AS our journey we pursue
o, the good we all may do,
While the days are going by.
Gall the loving links that bind US,
While the days are going by;
One by one we leave behind US,
While the days are going by.
But the seeds of good we SOW,
Both in shade and shine will grow
And will keep our hearts aglow,
While the days are going by"
"a happy new yearto ALL" BURKE.

According to report of the Horse
shoers' Protective Association, the horse
is not only holding his own against the
bicycle, but there is actually an increase
in the number of horses now in this
country. 1t says there are in Ohio $4,000
more horses than there were one year
ago, 1900 more in Michigan, $500 more
in New York and corresponding in
crease in other States. The statistician
of the association explains this by saying
that bicycles are used chiefly by people
who never did and never would own q
horse, and that while an occasional man
may sell his horse and adopt the bicycle,
the change is only temporary.

Cold Facts and Figures represented by Reliable Goods
and Prices are to be relied upon.

WE have been so busy this season
that we have hardly found time to
write an advertisement unless we tres
passed upon the Sabbath, hut the COX
was not in the ditch, and this was
unnecessary as the people seemed to
know where to come to buy their goods
anyway.
In our 81 years active business ex-
perience we have never been in posi-
tion to serve the people so we'll and
save them so much money on their
purchases as we are to-day, and were
never so much in earnest about doing
business as we are about now
Notwithstanding our heavy sales to
parties near and far we are overloaded
on many lines Of goods. as our New
York buyer seems to think he can't
load us too heavy when he can get
them at such ruinously low prices for
prompt cash, as he did during the
squally election times just past when
money in New York was worth 80 to
100 per cent. on call. This is the ad-
vantage Of always having shrewd
representative in the Metropolis, but
it takes money to keep this kind Of a
thing rolling, and any who wishes to
select from stock Of goods we'll bought
and that will not fall far short of $780,
900 in value can do SO by calling around
at our store.
Many goods are on the advance.
This is the day of gigantic trusts and
consumers are compelled to pay tribute,
| and the promise of the near future is
they are to be still! more fostered and
encouraged. 1t seems the hide and
leather market has been again cor:
nered. So look out for high priced
| Shoes. We are we'll ''heeled" and are
prepared to name prices on many new
desirable solid goods less than former
ly. For instance, We will sell you the
best mems home made, No. Kip,
Ca, or English Tie that we sold a
year ago for $3.50 now s1.O0. Mems
Genuine Calf, Dongola top, sold last
year 50. 90, now s1.25. A solid Mems
Buff or veal calf at 95c. that formerly
sold for s1.25. Several lines of ladies
and children goods are being sold in
the 81 ne proportion. We frankly
admit Dat throughout the store oul
values are not uniform, i. e., in some
| goods our purchases are more fortunate

Two significant :pieces of information

Two significant :pieces of information
concerning the Republican tariff bill
come from Republican sources in Wash
ington. Chairman Dingley, of the Ways
and Means Com mittee, says that the key
note of the new tariff bill will be protec-
ton and, in defining the limit of the pro-
lection, he uses the vague phrase, "what
is needed" He no longer attempts to
maintain the impression that his party
will greatly modify the Mckinley idea OF
protection, but naively remarks that he
sees no reason now to think that it will
be necessary to 60 beyond any of the
Mckinley schedules.
