OBITUARY
IN MEaoRY OF c. W. GREEN.

July "a, 1000, LIED, NONenueT -
1921, giving him 66 years, 2 months
and % days before the end came. He
was the father 6f eleven children,
eight living and three dead. The
living are Ed. Sam, Kel, Dema,
Richard and Mrs. Peaster Hillman,
Mrs. Walter Moody aud Mrs. Bras
Lucas, all living in or near Nicely,
Miss. at the time of his death except
Sam, who some years ago moved to
McLain. Miss. Two of the children
died in infancy and one son answer
ed the call, somewhere in France,
more than three years ago when in
the service of his country.
He was married December rs, 1875,
to Miss Clara Farley, one OF the
greatest christian women in the
world which means happy life to-
gether with christian man. Short
ly after they were married they
adopted the custom of family prayer
ia the home and made no difference
how tired or wearied they were, they
gathered their children about them
in the evening of the day to read
the Bible. talk and offer up tier
humble devotion to the All-wise and
everything God No greater proof
of christian home could be offered
than this and such should be the
adoption of all those who have been
fortunate enough to be associated
with the home.
This great man has been The Good
Samaritan, to so many of US. 1t can
be we'll remembered, years ago when
doctors were few and far between,
in sickness or in trouble OF any kind
we sent for Uncle Charlie (as he was
called. who through the rain and
cold always was ready to do his
part to help the sick and bind up the
broken hearted with his kind words
from christian life. No words can
express our appreciation for this
good mans life, vet, as | consider
his service to mankind | am remind
ed of the little poem of childhood
memory
Beautiful hands are those that do
| Work that is earnest, brave and true,
Moment by moment the long day thru
Beautiful feet are those that go,
Ion kindly errands to and fro,
Down humblest way If God wltls it so
Beautiful lives ara those that bless
lSilent rivers OF happiness,
| Whose hidden fountains but few may
guess.
But after all his service to us is
over now. HeSudered much before
he died, but died praising God. He
fold his wife he hated to leave her
and the children but he wanted to
90 to Heaven and thus he did as 1he
hour tolIed midnight on Wednes-
day night To me it was SO oder than
all for / was not there; though be
called for me in his last hour, sick
ness in my family would not let me
go
The Funeral was conducted from
the Missionary Baptist church at
Nicely, although he was a Methodist,
vet for the distance of this church
to the cemetery tho Baptist church
was used. Then too, the church
made no difference for he loved all
and helped all. When he was well
he was present at the Baptist church
as if he were member, ready TO do
his part for the Kingdom cause.
Nav his life be an example TO all
who knew him and may Heaven 5
blessings guide US on to meet him,
is my prayer.

MOTHER GOOSE IN POLITICS
Texas Woman Wants old Rhymes
 Psraphrased For Modern Child

Children will be taught young that it is the part of every patriotic citizen to vote, if an elderly lady in Texas can have her way. She has sent a small sum of money to the National League of Women Voters to be awarded as a prize for the best nur- sery rhyme inculeating a conscientious and patriotic attitude toward the exer- else of the franchise. She suggests that suitable verses be inserted in fu- ture editions of Mother Goose and in Kindergarten and primary aong-books so that boys and girls will grow up knowing their duty to their country. Incidentally, she has given the League, which has not yet received the report of the committee on the selection of the i2 greatest living American wo- men. another question to decide, and the headquarters staff is to decide it. Verses are already beginning to come in for the competition and the first received read, paraphrasing Mother Goose:
 Remember. remember the seventh of
 November,
 A date that must not be forgot.
 Non-voting is treason
 And that is the reason
 Good people must be on the spot.

EARRINGS VOGUE IN PARIS
Long Crystal Drops Particularly Fa'
vored-Peari Tassels, Antique
Designs, Onyx Used.

Earrings are decidedly in vogue IN
Paris. The long crystal drops are
particularly favored, more SO than
rings or hoops.
There is a clever trick among
French women of wearing one earring
"a long one-dangling down over the
shoulder, and the other ear without
any decoration.
Pearl tassels are favorite earrings.
OF course, the idea is to have ear
rings for each costume, and sometimes
women have more than one pair for q
favorite frock. These harmonic In
color and design with both the
frocks with which they are to be
used.
There is a vogue for wearing ear
rings containing little portraits In min
iature-of anybody one wishes. OF
! course.
With the present vogue for white,
Jade earrings Of this lovely stone are
of course in high favor.
Old earrings OF gold and silver are
in demand and ancestral jewel cases
as well as antique shops are being
called ON for them.
There are some earrings made OF
ONYX. set with pearls, that are tre
mendously effective.
And with rhe revival OF coral. any
thing of coral may be worn IN the wa!
of earrings.
