wm P8~ What's the condition of your home to-day ? Are you neglecting its equipment because the other end of the world is at war? If so, you are doing the wrong thing. Your home is your life. Everything man holds dear is centered in the home. Then why see the home reach an uncheerful condition. This is the time of all times to make the home cheerful. Crops are good, prices, fair, money is plentiful, what is needed is confidence. Confidence in ourselves, confidence in each other, confidence in the country, a little cheerfulness, a willingness to help each other, is what we most need. We begin ourselves, in fact we have never let up, in putting our best efforts first. We hav e boght wisely. We have kept up stocks, varieties, etc.; have gone ahead with improvements. We have kept up to the top notch the store's mer chandise and service, and as a reward we feel that business is poing ahead. For the fall months we have prepared, as usual, to meet the demand. No blues nere. No lack of faith; no lack of merchandise; no surrender to conditions; nothing but confidence in the people, in our selves, in our merchandise, and in the times. Won't you meet us half way.

The day was pronounced a decid ed success. F. A. M. Mt. Zion Community. On Tuesday of last week the death angel visited our community and took away Mrs. Josephine Horn, the beloved wife of Mr. Mil ledge Horn. The death of this good lady was not unexpected, as she had been a great sufferer for many months, but the knowledge that death must come does not prepare a loving heart for the change, and the anguish is no less keen when some one pronounces those irrero cable words, "She is dead!" It were an enviable legacy could any one have said over her the!, words of praise that were spoken on the departure of this noble ehrie tian woman. As with Dorcas, her neighbors told of her good deeds a* she lay dead. In the funeral sermon which was preached at the home on Wednesday by Rev. P. B. Lanham, he spoke of the singular freedom of her life from wrong, and her husband, who knew her heart, said that if ever she did anything wrong, he did not know it. i The interment took place at th? family burial plot on the plantation of Mr. J. C. Whitlock. A Urge crowd was present, and many beau tiful floral offerings attested the high regard in which this estimable lady was held. Great sympathy ie felt foi her aged husband, who tn burying ber, has buried his all, a&d is now left utterly alone his home* Another aching heart is that of Mrs. J. C. Whitlock who, having already lost one sister this year, is, the death of Mrs. Horn, loses her only remaining sister. Orphanage day was observed on last Sunday at Mt.
