Rev. Marion b. Stokes, of the
mission field in Korea, occupied the
pulpit of the Methodist church the
past two Sundays and preached force
full m or both occasions. He
is an earnest and alb preacher. and
his mastery of the Korean language,
and it's use for the past seven years,
has not impaired his huency in his
mothe" tongue. By reason Of his
talent and attainments, though young
in years, he has already become one
OF the recognized leaders in the for
eign field. Southern Mehtdosim is
fortunate in having such a fit repre-
sentative in Korea. He and his wife
and children left this week for Sum-
merton to visit relatives. They ex-
pect to return in the near future and
spend the summer here with DR.. and
Mrs. j. l.. Stokes. Our Methodist
friends are fortunate in having the
privilege Of association with him and
his during the period of his furlough
at home.
One of the beauties Of carrying
insurance was very plainly shown a
short while back in the case of G.. F.
Meares, of the Oakway section, who
lost his fine residence by fire. Mr..
Meares went to work at once to re-
build, and on the day that he moved
into his new house, J.D. Isbell, repre-
senting the Oconee County Farmers
Mutual Insurance Association, went
to his home and handed to Mr..
Meares a check for $3.50. Mr.. Mearcs
carried a policy for $1,000 on his
house n household goods. the sal
wage on the latter being of such a
value as to warrant a reduction in
the payment on the loss, of $50. The
Oconee Mutual insures its policy
holders at an average cost of less
than OnC-half of one e cent per
