Many men are said to be self
taught. No man was ever taught
IN any other way. Do you sup
pose man to be a bucket to be
hung on the well of knowledge and
pumped full? Man is a creature
that learns by the exertion of his
own faculties. There are aids to
learning of various kinds; but no
matter how many of these aids a
man may be surrounded by, after
all, the learning is that which he
acquires himself. Whether he is in
college or out of college, in school
or out of school, every man must
educate himself And in our
times and in this community every
man has the means of doing it.
There are a thousand pretty,
engaging little ways, which every
person may put on without run
ming the risk of being deemed af-
fected or ioppish. The sweet
smiles, the cordial bow, the ear
nest movement in addressing a
friend, the inquiring glance, the
graceful attention which is so
captivating when united with self
posseSsion--thcse will insure us
the good regards of even a churl.
Above all, there is a certain soft
ness of manner which should be
cultivated, and which, in either
man or woman, adds charm that
almost entirely compensatcs for
lack of beauty, and inestimably
enhances the latter where it does
not exist.

Union Meeting at Rocky Knoll.
(Too Late for Last Week. }

(Ioo Late for Last Week.
The union meeting of the upper
division of the Beaverdam Associa-
tion met with the Rocky Knoll church
on August 29th, 1908, and was called
to order by Rev. A. P: Marett, and
then engaged in song and prayer SER
vice led by Rev. J. A. Bond.
There were twelve churches repre-
sented in the union by thirty-five del
egatls. The programme Mas success
fully carried out by the following
speakers: Revs. c. l.. Craig, l.. M.
LYDIA, T. l.. Weldon, J. Il. Stone, ].
II. Clark, A. P. Marett, and Laymen
S. F. Johnson. T. M. Elrod, ]. w.
Abbott and Brother Good. The union
was largely attended and there was
unusual interest manifested. We are
sure such meetings are bound to re-
suit in great good.
Bro. Weldon's lecture on Sunday
morning on the subject of Success
and needs Of our missionary work"
deserves special mention. We think
| those who heard him were greatly
encouraged over the success Of our
missionary work and stimulated to a
greater 1egree of activity in trying to
advance the Masters kingdom.
The evening service consisted of
some soul-stirring music rendered by
Profs. Grubbs. Smith and others.
The closing prayer was made by
Rev. Mr.. LYDIA, and we all returned to
our homes feeling that we had attend
ed great meeting and had been en-
tertained by good and generous peo-
pie. A. p. Marett, Modera

Mr.. Featherstone was a candidate

as a candidate last winter, but later
withdrew upon receiving assurance
that Gov. Ansei would espouse the
prohibition cause. His course was
then very generally commended, but
many people to-day are inclined to
the belief that he would have been
elected II he had remained in the
race.

DEATH OF BaYLus }. MARETT.
A Good Man and True has Passed
Away--Exemplary Life.
tToo Late Tor Last Week. )


On Tuesday, August 25th, 1908, at
6 o'clock, the soul of Baylus j. Mar
fett winged it's flight back to the God
who gave it-back to the Father
whom he loved and served His
death was not unexpected, for he had
been constant sufferer for forty
years. hut ever cheerful and uncom-
planting, always ready to greet his
Friends and loved ones with a kind
word and smile. But the time came
at last when loving hands could hold
him to earth no longer-his work
was finished, his race was run.
In the death of Uncle Baylus for
by this name we had all learned to
call him-our community has suf.
fered great ioss, for Oconee has lost
one of her best citizens, and he will
be greatly missed in the home and
community, and dare say there was
no man in Oconee who had more
friends than had Uncle Baylus.
One year ago he united himself to
Center Methodist church, but he had
always lived an upright, honest life,
and always espoused the cause of
truth and righteousness. He had Of
ten expressed himself as willing and
ready to go at the Masters calling.
He had prepared himself for this last
conflict by temperate life and good
conversation, choosing high ideals
and fashioning his life after them.
He was born on February 20, 1882,
and died August 25th, 1908. In 1889
he was happily married to Miss Caro-
line Power. There were no children
born to this union. Besides his wife
he leaves four brothers and two sis
ters to mourn his death. The SYM
pathy of host of friends in this COM
munity goes out to the bereaved ones
in their hour Of sorrow.
At four o'clock on Wednesday af-
ternoon, in the presence of a large
concourse of sorrowing relatives and
friends, the remains were lowered by
loving hands to their last resting
place in South Union cemetery, after
funeral services, conducted by Rev.
]. l.. Singleton, the pastor of Center
Methodist church.. He is now wiser
than any seer or sage Of earth, richer
because he possesses with Him who
possesses all things; happier, being
with the Author of all happiness;
safer because he walks the streets of
the New Jerusalem, clothed in the
garments Of immortality, his ears fill
ed with the music of the sweet songs
of the Redeemer, waiting at the gates
of Paradise to welcome his loved ones
as they cross over the river of DEATH
Dead! No, there is no death!
An angel form walks DER the earth
in silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away,
and then we call them dead.

About the Most Popular Of Trimmings
Just Now Affected.

Just Now Affected.
No sooner had line Of buttons
made its appearance down the back
of the sleeve from shoulder to wrist
than all manner Of trimming along
this line put in its appearance.
Rosettes, fiat bows. embroideries
and several rows Of buttons sprane
into fashion as trimming from shout

The most popular Of these now is
the two.inch panel. 1t Is made OF net
on cloth sleeves, OF embroidered net
IN transparent sleeves, OF tucked satin

The cloth sleeve, tight fitting from
ahoulder to wrist, is very much en-.

filet net either of cream or In the
color of the cloth. It must show the

all idea of swathing this part of the
body this season.

NOVELTY IN DECORATION LINE.
China Flower Most Effective on the
Center Table.

The latest novelty in decorations
for center table is the china Hover
Baskets of natural flowers are to De
relegated to the conservatory, since
their place can be adequately niled
by this new, MISUNDERSTANDING
vegetation which is being imported
from England.
A potted rose bush standing a loot
and a half high is one Of the most at
tractiye as we'll as the most expensive
of the models. The bush Is IN tuil
bloom, bearing deep pink flowers and
buds, and with every detail OF the
foliage accurately reproduced from ma
ture, even to the moss surrounding
the root of the bush.
Another beautiful example OF this
new ware is fuchsia plant. The pur'
ple blossoms hang SO gracefully from
their stems that 1t Is difficult to be-
lieve that they are artificial.
Less conspicuous designs may be
found, suited to the thinner purse, Tor
some of these plants are only -FOUR
inches tall, including the pot. A great
variety of towering plants are repre-
sented in the china, such as gerani'
ums, dahlias, primroses, tulips nya'
cinths and pansies, so that your
choice is practically as unlimited as
though you were in florists shop

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts Of mind and body are Ger.
tain to follow continued use OF improp-
er food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear .
stone away at last, so will the use Of
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss Of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect IN
theirsdaily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago had lot Of trouble
from indigestion; caused by too rich
