(?dgejitli? %ktttim. Johnston Will Participate in the Parades. The people of Johnston are pub lio spirited to a highly commenda ble degree. Notwithstanding the distance of eight miles, our sister town will be represented in the pa rades at the county fair. It can be safely stated in advance that what ever Johnston contributes to the .parades will be highly creditable and will add greatly to the beauty of the pageant. Those Johnston ladies cot only know how to do things but are never satisfied unless everything is done in the best pos sible manner. Their handiwork al ways bears the marks of a high or ?der of talent. Mr. Bailey's Bible Class. Twice each month Rev. E. C. Bailey teaches a Bible class at the Presbyterian church.

This class affords the laymen and laywomen an op portunity to learn much concerning the teachings of the Bible that they otherwise would probably never know. Tell your friends aboui the class and assist in its growth and usefulness. The time foi holding the next meeting will be duly an nounced. Death of Mr. M. W. Posey. Early Saturday morning last, Mr. M.

During the past twelve months the Ropers community has been sorely stricken. Several homes have been visited by the death angel. The last to have a dark shadow cast across its threshold was that of Mr. D. E. Lanham. His beloved wife breathed her last Satuday, October 18, and her form was tenderly laid Ho rest on the following day at Re pablicau church, the funeral being conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. T. Littlejohn. Mrs. Lanham had been in feeble health for a long while but ?he bore up bravely uuder the afflic tion. This sorrow weighs heavily upon her loved ones, bat the home over which this good woman held queen ly sway for so many years was a "Christian home and the members of the family circle who are left are resigned to His will and have the assr rance that she has received the reward prepared for those who are faithful during their earthly proba tion. While the slender form of .Mrs. Lanham will be seen no more ^8 when 8he moved in and out of the home and community, yet she will live on and on in the lives of her seven exemplary children who are an honor to their parents. She was not only a blessing to her home and community but to her church also. Her influence was always in spiring, ennobling, uplifting. Just why so devotsd a wife and mother, so active and unselfish a Christian worker should be taken before her life reached its fullest fruition the finite mind ean not anderstand. Bat we shall know at that day. Mrs. Lanham is survived by her husband, four daughters, Misses Emmie, Lila, Minnie and Grace Lanham,and three sons, Joseph, Ben nie and Fred Lanham.

That's how men do about paint ing their houses and barns and fences. Paint has been high for sev eral years; and so they have waited. Paint is high yet; they are still waiting; thousands of 'em are wait ing for paint to fall. Their poverty drops a trifle a year and the next job of paint creeps up creeps up creeps up; it'll take more paint by a gallon a year; they don't save a cent, and the property goes on sabering.
