And In closing his sermon, the
preacher impressively said

now as to whether to take part with
those who murdered Christ or to be
crucified with Him, there is not a man

reject being crucified with Christ

"One OF the most remarkab BILE

They shall not cIeave one to another.
Notice the fulfillment of this, This

ten kingdoms has now existed more
than / 500 years, and during that vine
many great men have arisen and at
tempted to weld these parts of the
empire again into one. But God had
said this should never be accom-

fought not merely against the armies
of the world but against the Word of
God, and that Word has been stronger
than all their armies.

TO THE PItRIIC

The Brownsville Laundry, which has
been run in receivership for the past
six months, has just been ordered by
the court to be continued. This Laun-
dry as managed for the past few
months, has turned out far better
grade of work than it has ever done
before, and feels that it is now enti-
tied to the support of all the people
of Brownsville. We have recently
employed more expert help, and ev-
cry effort - i le IS now being ex-
erted to please our patrons.
We understand that we now have
| competition in an agent representing
a Jackson laundry. We also under
stand that this agent has reduced the
prices, especially on collars. We feel
that this is being done in order to IN
duce the people Of Brownsville to send
their work away from home, and not
because any laundry can afford to
launder collars at two cents each.
Anyone at all familiar with the laun-
dry business will bear us out in this.

jackson laundry, whose prices on col
lars in the city Of jackson are the
same as ours, and we understand that
their prices on other things are high

The Brownsville Laundry Is a

Brownsville, and was made possible
with hard earned Brownsville money

that the liquor traffic in Tennessee was
not dead, and that if any one believed
it was, all he had to do would be to
go to that newspaper Office. He said
that the reason the Antisaloon League

that organization had adopted the

Gov. Rye, who followed, declared
that there were no longer any differ

SCHOOL GARDENING IN EUROPE

The following is an extract from an
article by Johann Hepp in the October
(1915) number of Monatshefte fur den
Observation-Disclosures Unterrecht,
under the title school Gardens in
Zurich" The original brings out in a
forceful way the value of school gar
dens and how they have served the
people of Zurich. The people of Eu-
rope have long encouraged school gor-
dening, and throughout Germany and
other countries special attention has
recently been given the work. The
writer says:
How fortunate is the country child

Of work and hustle Of the farm life.

WASTE OF MATERIAL.

Jacob A. Riis, the Swedish born
American journalist, lecturer and re-
former, once told the following anec-
dote as illustrative Of the fact that
all boys, no matter how bad they may
appear, really have large proportion
of potential good in their makeup: A
mother provided a small sand pile in
the back yard of her home in order
that her children might find ample
amusement without going too far
from her care and protection. A little
dog and some kittens were the young
ster's playmates in the sand. Harmo-
ny usually prevailed but several times
only the timely Intervention of the
children prevented sacrifice Of fe-
line life.
One day when no one was looking
the dog killed one of the kittens and
buried its body in the sand. Shortly
after the children went out to play
the little girl discovered the lifeless
body of her pet. After looking at ii
for a time somewhat philosophically
yet mournfully withal, she placed it
in her apron and carried it to her
mother, remarking as she held it up:
Mama, here's perfectly good cat
spoiled"

coNFEDERATE MEMORIAL

The Confederate Veterans, Forrest
and Livingston Chapters, U. D. c.,
held memorial service for the late
Mrs. Helen c. Taylor on Friday after
noon at the home of Mrs. 7. B. King.
Mrs. Taylor was second vice-president
of Forrest Chapter and one of the
most enthusiastic workers. She was
always willing to serve on the pro-
grams and her music and readings
were most entertaining. AT the an
nual reunion of the veterans she
spread a hospitable table. She will
be greatly missed. A beftting program
was arranged and carried out as me-
mortal to this most beloved daughter
of the Confederacy. At roll call each
member placed a red or white rose
on a design, which when completed,
was a beautiful coronet of the Con-
federate colors and flowers, and it was
carried and tenderly placed on the
grave.

1t is sad indeed to chronicle the
death OF Mrs. Hunter Stuart, who died
at this place April %. Funeral serv-
ices were conducted,by Rev. Butts as
sisted by Rev. Oakley of Whiteville.
Bro. Butts paid a beautiful tribute to
this little family with whom he made
his home for several months during
his stay here. Marie was sweet,
beautiful girl; idolized by her parents,
the hope and joy of her young husband
but before the sunlight had fairly
kissed the rose bud of life into matu-
rity the night came on, Not the all
night of gloom, nor the shadow that
shuts out hope, but the veil that often
intervenes between the loved ones in
this life and the heaven for which they
must wait, Our hearts go out in
deepest sympathy for Mr.. and Mrs.
Crawford Hunter, and the brothers.
Dear friends, lift up your hearts that
are bruised and sore. and do not grieve
as one that has no hope. Though she
clung to life, she said she was ready.
And as Brother Oakley said in his lit
tie talk, some day, some how, this veil
is going to be lifted, and you will see
Marie again, blossomed in all her
loveliness and purity, in the beautiful
beyond. Then and not till then we
can understand.
