Awake Sunday School. w.

or Mr. MARX SOA '"hiou
Cured at Fort Beard, Mexico. Last
fall he went there hoping to be lm
proved in health, but his system
was in a very weak state and the
end came suddenly. Mr.. Cox was
the son of the late DR.. 5. j. nj.
Cox and was s3 years of age. About
6 years ago he was married to MISS
Ethel Hester of this place who sur
wives, and he also leaves three broth
ers, Mr.. William Cox who is at
Fort Beard, Jimmie Cox of Okla
homa, and Gomillion Cox of Allan,
ia, Ga. Mr.. Cox was a young man
of many noble traits, and was kind
ly and gentle in his manner. The
burial services were conducted here
at the Mt. of Olives cemetery. the
Masons having charge.
The Rev. Branch of Virginia
will fill the pulpit of the Baptist
church on Sunday morning.
DR.. and Mrs. F. L. Parker spent
last week in the home of the latter's
father, DR.. w. E. Prescott, who
is quite sick.
Mr.. w. T. Walton who is at
home from a visit to Florida has
many interesting accounts to tell
and his friends are enjoying many
pleasant chats with him.
Mr.. Henry Watson who has been
in most critical state for the past
few months at the home of his Sis
ter, Mrs. J. Neil Lott, now seems
much better and has been able to
90 to the home of his mother, Mrs.
Virginia Watson.
On Sunday morning at the Bap-
tist Sunday school Mr.. S. j. Wat
son, superintendent, suggested that
the first of the 16 classes adopt
the standard of excellence as set
forth BY the Sunday school board,
aud he told of the 10 requirements
to attain to this standard. Any class
making seven of the points will re-
ceive red star, and a blue star
will be given to the class making
ten, and they will also have their
name published by the Sunday
school board. This is wide-awake
Sunday school and no doubt all six
will see their names in print.
At the close of the Baptist Sun
day school, Rev. w. T. Hundley
who is a great lover of music, made
a plea for the 3rd verse of the songs.
Nearly every song had four verses
and he had yet to attend a Sunday
school that would sing that 3rd
verse. In it is often found the eli
max of d beautiful thought and the
sentiment is often lost when omit
ted. He said that if he had to be
anything else, it would certainly
not be 3rd verse;"
The second February meeting of
the Apollo music club was held with
Mrs. o. D. Black on Tuesday af-
ternoon and during the business
session plans were made for Re
