Obituary

Jessie Lillian, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Griffith was born at Pleasant Hill, Illinois. October 2nd., 19C0. In 1904 she came, with her parents. to Arkansas, and died Dec. 10th, 1915. being 15 years, 2 months and 8 days old. Her illness was very brief, she being sick only two days. Her funeral was conducted from her home by Rev. c. M. Ford, Pastor of Carlisle B "a D t S t Church, and her body was laid to rest in the Carlisle Cemetery.
 Jessie was a sweet, beautiful girl, just budding into young wo- manhood, and it was so sad to give her up. But she is done with the troubles and sorrows of this life. She leaves a father, mother, four sisters and one brother to mourn her going. One brother, who died in infan: cy, preceded .hers to the other side just twenty years ago.
 May Jessie's going before, be the means of drawing each of the dear loved ones unto the dear Saviour, who alone is able to comfort, and who is able to save to the uttermost, is the earnest prayer of

Christmas Table Decorations

Let the boys and girls nse their ingenuity in making the Christmas table beautiful.
 Following are a few suggest ions for decorating the Christ mas table:
 A toy house with Ia toy Santa Claus going down the chimney. Artificial glittering snow over all. Cotton, flour or talcum will do as substitute for snow.
 A net stocking revealing red apples, nuts and oranges hung over the table, from this to the edge of the table alternate strings of popcorn and red ger ries.
 A red tissue paper bell hung over the table, dainty ropes of greenery from the bell to a pop corn ball and bow of red ribbon or paper in front of each plate.
 A big bunch of holly over the table Alternate ribbons of red and green crepe paper, each fas- tened to tiny box or basket fill. ed with candy in front of each person.
 A bunch of red flowers in the center of the table and a vine running up and down the table, with sprig of holly here and there. A button hole boquet of miseltoe with a baby ribbon bow of red at each plate.
 A basket of nuts, oranges, ap. ples and other fruits in the cen. ter of the table, a red bow on the handle, a fern leaf flat on the tablecleth pointing to each plate. At the tip of each leaf a tiny lighted candle. In front of each plate a pretty Christmas senti- ment and over the table a big white star with glittering snow over it.
 Jack frost emerging from a snow (cotton and glass snowdust) bank and throwing a string of nuts and raisins with a red apple on the end, to each guest
 In the center of the table a ti- ny Christmas tree with little gifts on it-penny dolls, cranberries for apples, etc.-The Progress i've Farmer.

For Farm Boys and Girls

It's an unusual thing for a Southern paper to announce ar ticles for publication from Sec retary McAdoo, Secretary Hous- ton, Secretary Lane, Secretary Daniels, Thomas A. Edison. Rear Admiral Peafy, Champ Clark, Henry Cabot Lodge. Luther Burbank, John Burroughs, Sen ator Tillman, James Whitcomb b Riley, and Lyman Abbott; but all these men-and a long list of others-have sent contributions for a series of Success Talks for the Southern farm ooys and girls in The Progressive Farmer during 1916.
 Other Progressive Farmer features include a 52week Reading Course in Good Farm ing," giving the boy who cannot go to college the fundamentals of agricultural science, and simi lar course for girls under the heading, How the Wide Awake Girls Learned Good Housekeep- ing"
 Every farmer who has boys or girls between 10 and IS ought to be on the lookout for these ar ticles.

Quick Witted

A lecturer who protested against people going to sleep during his disquisitious on heath en lands, would, if he peceived any tendency in that direction, introduce some queer or start ling statement to revive their Tagging interest. On one occas- ion when his audience seemed rather somnolent, he thundered out: "Ah, you have no idea of the suffering of Englishmen in Central America ou account of the enormous mosquitos. A great many of these pests would weigh pound, and they will get on the logs and bark as the white men are passing"
 By this time all eyes and ears were wide open and he proceed ed ito finish his lecture. The next day he was called upon to account for his extraordinary statements. But didn't say one mosquito would weigh a pound," he protested; II said a great many of them would. I think perhaps million of them might do so.' But you said they bark at the missionaries, persisted his interlocutor. No, no, my dear sir; I said they would get on the logs and on the bark. You misunderstood me. ,
