death Angel visited the home of
Mr.. Covington, who lives at 1876
Hemphill Ave, Atlanta, an d
claimed the Immortal Spirit of his
beloved wife, Mrs. Hattie Coving-
ton. She was the oldest daughter
OF Mr.. F. A. Hargroves, of this
County, and a good friend of the
writer. She leaves four children
and a host of friends to mourn her
demise. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. P. P. Manning,
OF Smyrna. The body was inferred
IN the family burying ground. Mr..
Hargroyes appreciates the kindness
shown to him in his hour of be-
reavement. He will probably take
the little children to his home and
raise them. The bereaved family
and relatives have our sympathy.
Quite a crowd attended the sing
ing at New Hope, Sunday evening,
and all seemed to enjoy the sing
ing. Many thanks to the Sardis
class tor coming over and lending
helping hand. And we also
thank the good ladies for their
thoughtfulness in preparing such a
good dinner. The leaders were
W. T. Dobbs, J. B. Blackwell, of
Sardis, and L. F. Moon and the
writer, of this place. Mr.. Lutts, of
Sardis, took charge of the organ.
Strange to say, some of the young
people who could sing, took back
seat. Come out and sing, young
folks
Mr.. and Mrs. Austin Spinks are
happy over the arrival of a fine
baby boy at their house.
Mrs. Samantha Spinks met with
a very painful accident last week.
In stepping out of the door on the
ground where some water had been
thrown, she slipped and fell, break
ing her lett arm.
A good rain fell in this section
last week, which was badly needed.
1t was the heaviest rain that has
fallen here in several weeks.
The singing last Sunday at Ben
sons school house was grand
success. Good singers were there
from different parts of the county,
The crowd was so large, it put me
in mind of some big convention
The singing was fine all day, and
at the noon hour the good ladies
spread one of the finest dinners
that has been spread in quite
awhile, and nobody went away
hungry. The Committee of Ar
engagements was as follows: w.
F. Brooks, R. J. Griggs, J. E.
Robertson and j. Fl. Pitner. The
leaders we're J. II. Pitner, Homer
Flynn, VIM. Spragin, John Hooks,
S. G. Taylor and Thomas Chan
dler. The writer was director of
the day.
1t was day long to be remem-
.bered, and hope that some good
was done. Prof. Westmoreland
was organist for the occasion. The
singing was opened with prayer by
Brother Booth, and closed with
prayer by Brother Watson.

The culture Of the Ace.

We are now passing through the
age OF the Distribution of knowledge.
The spread of the English-speaking
race since 1850 and the cheapness
of printing, have brought in primers
and handbooks by the million. All
the books of the older literatures are
being distracted and sown abroad in
popular editions. The magazines full
fill the same function; every one of
them is penny cyclopedia. -John

He can never be a power with men

shut heaven from our eyes.
A mans morality always depends
on the meaning he sees in life.
1t is mighty hard to be patient with
the sins we promote in others.
He who has no heroes is funda-

Hardwich, Oct 20.-With CHASTITY
bullet wound in his head and a revol-
yer lying nearby, the body of j. Yer

nent business men of this town, was
found in his hayloft at about nine o.
clock Tuesday night
Mr.. Dutton who was manager of
the Hardwick and Woodbury. railroad

about his work yesterday, apparently

of him alive He probably went i'm
mediately to the barn and fired the

appointment with him at the station
and when he failed to put in an APP
pearance the brother called at the

left temple and had passed complete
ly through the head.

tie company. states that an eXamina-
ton of Mr. buttons books reveals no
irregularity whatever. AS he was a

happy in domestic life there remains

that his mind was temporarily unbal-
anced.

THINKING IT OUT.

Prom the Philadelphia North American
Keep your thoughts on your work. You
will never make yourself over into sue
ccssful dressmaker, although you may be
the neatest OF seamstresses. If you can
not put some mind into your garment.
This thoughtful attitude OF mind may
not be one Of your gifts. but Il may be
cultivated by the persistent worker who
IS willing 70 master the real secret OF put
ting this and that together This may
be a deep skirt yoke or a Jersey or fitted
euirass, and that" may be a pleated
lower section depending from Il.
Now let us suppose for the time being
that the lower skirt, which YOU have
pieated mechanically according TO the
nOtches. proves too large 10 nj into the
hip piece, just what do YOU intend 10 do?
Nine-tenths Of the thOughtless, who make
their clothes without once sharpening
their wits upon them as they sew, Will
cut of the extra pleat or two and thus fit
IN the pleaung successfully. But one
l woman out Of a given ten viii keep the
skirt exactly the width the pattern al
lowed and will use her mind 20 evolve the
theory that q certain width IS required
for walking purposes, and that therefore,
the springing in OF the top OF each pleat
Will produce the desired shortening Of the
whole without a sacrifice OF the lower
width.
This is but a single instance or the ne

cip!es alone can be taught. just as It is
possible TO teach only the main points OF

Peculiar styles bring. each one. it's own
curious lines, which the expert will read

grasp more slowly and by applying her

FIGHTING FLIES.

Mothers Should Guard Baby's Food
Against Contact with Them.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
For some strange reason the baby does
not seem 10 be driven frantic by the pac-
ing OF fly over its tender flesh, as is an
adult But because the youngster does
not fret and yell the mother should be no
less careful TO fight her infants battle
with flies
It is unnecessary, or would seem so. 10
dwell on the fly as a source Of contagion.
As a carrier OF disease he has few equals.
yet few mothers seem 10 fear him when
he lights on the food OF her baby or even
rests on fits lips.
Files Are Germ Bearers.
Too great care cannot be taken 20 keep
flies OF anything the baby will put IN its
mouth. Foods should be closely covered
until eaten.
While eating. IL the child be too young
20 take his food al the table. a netting
should be placed over him. so there is no
possibility OF the fly getting at the bottle
II it should light on the rubber nipple.

II Is good plan 70 sit by older children
as they eat and see that flies 90 not at
tack them. They are too young 10 care II
they share their bread and butter or fruit
with a disease breeder. Remember that
the chief source OF contagion is through
the mouth.
Most mothers keep a mosquito netting
over the baby's crib, but few see that Il
Is down so tight that there is no possible
opening for fly or mosquito. This is es-
pecially important when the child sleeps
outdoors in its coach, as Is now the
healthful fashion,
Netting Tent.
For quite small children. who practi-
cally stick IN one spot when playing. II Is
well 20 have a sort Of cage OF MOSQUITO

suspended from the ceiling. or. II the child
plays outdoors. a tent can be improvised
by four broomstcks placed in the ground
20 make any desired size Of square and
the netting thrown over that one end of
the stick should be pointed. that Il may
be quickly stuck IN the earth.
Flies are said 20 dislike exceedingly the
smell Of lavender, so II Is well 20 expert
ment by keeping sachets filed with Law
ender or sprigs Of the fresh plant sorne-
where around the baby's coach or person.
This is more pleasant than pennyroyal or

A W0MAN'S THEORY.

Prom the Philadelphia North American
i do not see why we should try TO dress
well during the hottest summer months. %
a practical woman said the other day.
and then she proceeded 70 explain her
theory OF dress. She said It was merely
matter Of common sense Prints and
muslins are more appropriate, anyway,
FOR hot weather. and why should we not
ali wear them? For my part, next sum-
mer my wardrobe will contain not one
dressy or silken gown. Every one will be
so simple that It might be the propertv
or some village maiden, and l shall wear
any one OF them into the city. II neces-
sary shopping calls me"
And, really, the theory is not unreason-
able A woman IN an immaculate muslin
frock always looks presentable. even at n
warm-weather entertainment II has been
the custom TO wear boned gowns in the
city streets because neatness is demand
ed, yet, really, they are so uncomfortable
ana they so soon become shabby that
they are very unsatisfactory 1t may be
that the theoretical woman will never be
brave enough TO put her theory into prac-
tice, yet some other woman NAV
One exceptionally good wife and mother
Of my acquaintance decided when SIN q
bride. that she would wear whita wash
dresses in the house on all occasions and
she has now done so for twenty wears
They are ali Of fine material and thew
are very little trimmed. although sleeves
and general appearance vary slightly
with the prevailing fashion. Besides these
frocks, all she needs is a single street
suit for shopping and calling. Her white
dresses serve her even on the evenings
she spends away from home.
Wash muslins are very inexpensive:
they cannot fade. and they wear n long
time. II she need not econonlize on her
laundry bills. the wearing Of cotton fab
rics Is fad that may well be taken I'D
by the woman whose purse is none too

SNAP SHOTS OF THOUGHT.
BY T. n. SULLIVAN.

A noble character has love as its
impelllng force. humility as It's
raiment. the good Of humanity as
its vocation, and the honor OF its
Creator as its final goal
There is nothing more attractive
than virtue. nor anything more re-
pulsive than vice.
The car OF destiny makes no re-
turn trips.
Slander Is the ponIard upon
which the vicious seek 70 impale
the virtuous,
So live that the shadows OF re-
gret will never eclipse the sun
shine Of content.
Controversy would be more prof
table and less lrksome II we
would labor as hard to establish
the truth as we do 10 prove our
selves IN the right. and our oppo-
nents in the wrong.
Seek for happiness alone. and
you cannot attain il. but seek Cor
duty, and you viii find happiness
IT'S companion.
The demagogue has self-interest
as his impelling force. and lgnO-
rance as HIS constituency.
Evil companions are the ad-
vance agents OF debauChery and
crime.
Learning enlarges the mental
horizon, cultiyates the tastes. re-
fines the manners. broadens the
intellectual landscape, and en-
mobiles the character.
