RED OAK GROVE.
Pleasant Visit to Parksville.
Social Circle No. 2 to Meet
With Mrs. Luther
Zimmerman.

Red Oak Grove Sunday school
was more largely attended last Sun
day than usual, therefore we hope
for more activity in future, as our
lessons now should interest US.
There is no better way to improve
ourselves, no more wise counsel to be
obtained for our children, than in
the Sunday school, and let US rally
TO its support as never before. Even
our presence does good. I've been
a teacher and know.
1t was real pleasure to attend
the divisional w. M. I. meeting
last Saturday at Parksville, meeting
with the different representatives
and being once more at Parksville.
While many familiar faces Tin fact

into the graveyard near by and
there view the epitaphs of many
whose influences to me, by'their la
Dor of Christian love, made impress
sions never to be erased.
How we missed the beloved Mrs.
Maggie Morgan and Mrs. L.. +. Dorm.
Those two I had never seen absent
at Parksville church-ever present
and faithful to every duty.
We appreciated the privilege of
being in the home, even for a short
while, of Mr.. and Mrs. w. n. FL
kibs. While they can no longer,
on account of i'll health, be in regu-
lar attendance at church services,
their arts are in the work the
same, being so beautifully resigned
to the will of the Lord.
Mrs. j. T. Gritfis was missed 80
much at Sunday school by her class.
Mrs. Luther Zimmerman filed her
absence in the Sunbeam and con.
dacted the services for her. 3

The sick in this section are on the
road to recovery. All are able to
be up again, except Mr.. Byrd Nc
Clendon, who has sufficiently recov-
cred for his nurse to return to Au-
gusta.
Mrs. R. A. Miller is suffering
from a sprained foot, though she is
improving.
The farmers are wishing for some
rain, that it might be more seasona-
bic for small grain sowing.
Think everybody, both white and
colored, have nice collard patches
and plenty of syrup, with the good
corn crop, and nearly every one has
meat to kill, we surely should feel
we are greatly blessed; and then,
not forget that many are suffering.

FOLLOWING DEATH OF ONE

San Antonio. Tex. May 1S.-Fol-
lowing the death Of DR.. Sarah Frances

vestigating, the wOman's two sisters,
Miss Alice Herdman. Sc. and Mrs.
Margaret H Allen, 90, were afraid to
remain in the house and went to the

the women admit. The police also say
the two women declared IL was their
intention to take their own lives
when they should return to the house
Another development was the an
nouncement by city chemist Nestor,
who has not yet determined the poi
son which killed DR.. Herdman, that
a year ago. Dr. Herdman submitted
to him for analysis some oranges
which she said had been sent to her
sister. Miss Alice. Nestor said the
oranges contained poison
Thus far the police have been IN
a BILE to advance either the motive for
the reported poison plot among the
three sisters or for an agreement
among them TO end their own lives.

ARE WE CIVILIZED?

According to the almost uni
versal existing conditions of de-
PRAYED humanity, we, unques-
tionably. are not. Has the world
gone mad. and the thirst for hui
man blood become world con-
tagion?
a mans first duty is at his own
fireside and not to desert that
post to fight for the ambitions and
whims of certain crown heads and
war hungry brutes.
We have within us two natures,
and mind and a will to permit
whichever we choose to predom-
mate. 1t is painfully apparent
that the angelic value of the hu
man race is on the wane and an
evident fact that the beastly ma
ture is superceding it. Shame on
lnstigators of atrocious warfare.
1t is not those who go to the
front and face the roar of cannon
and the bursting Of bombs who

are most to be pitied, for far
greater deeds are performed by
the ones remaining behind. There
is the suffering Of want, anxiety,
the shouldering Of new and great
burdens; toiling under the weight
of a broken heart and most try
ing conditions; to cheer and com
fort others when she holds in her
hand the dreadful intelligence Of
a loved one's death wound.
1t must be a needless, thought
less step that permits man to
bring upon himself such condI-
tions.
The only great final solution
to the problem will be to place
woman in supreme power and the
world will soon learn that the
pen Cor tongue) is mightier than
the sword.
