pleasant thought or a smile for

be happy. and try to make others
happy. Just a few days till K

enjoying life.

build the fence around the lit
tie white church, at Jasper, the
Methodist Church, and the ada
cent cemetery, which contains
the mortal remains of some of
the richest and some of the poor
est citizens Of Marion. 1t is a
very commendable move and
greatly needed.
At a recent meeting of the
church members and others in
terested, j. w. Morrison was ap-
pointed committee of one to
build the fence. with power to
select committee to solicit and
collect funds. He has appointed
the following: A. l.. Stines, Mrs.
O. l.. Gillian, S. /. Rogers. K.
d. Curtis, q. w. Coppinger, Z.
A. Quarles, Bsrlew Hudson. M.
Marlow, S. S. Tate, S. H. Alex
ander, Lot Warren and T. A.
Williams. He earnestly requests
all the members of this commit
tee to enter on an active canvass
and raise the money necessary at
once.
Mr.. Morrison proposes to erect
4 fence, which will stay there
for time to come and be a credit
to the churchyard and burial
ground. He and all concerned
are to be commended for their
interest in the matter.
