The brido is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Hughs, of this placo. She is bright and attractive, loved by all who know her. Mr. Rankin is a man of sterling worth, now engaged In the insurance business in Atlanta. The popularity of tho young couple was attested by the numbor of hand some gifts received.

Editor Keoweo Courier: The Far mers' Un|on has elected me as the county organizer for Oconee, and I ask short space to speak to all farm ers, w 1ft;ther they bolong to the un ion or not. 1 am at the service of all. The first favor I want to ask ls thitt tho secretary of each local un ion send me a Hst of the members of his union, and on a seperate sheet give me the names of those who have failed to pay their dues. I will visit all, and I hope to meet the men and their wives, young men and young women. If we will all join hands wo will certainly be able to accom plish something, I nm no export, but by main strength and awkwardness I hope to cause the scales to fall from some fellows' eyes. At least come and help mer On the lfith at Salem 1 will meet with the farmers of that soction. I hope the people will turn out tn full force. Just a word as to the present crop: Make, your cultivation frequent and shallow. Sow peas and plant peas or peanuts; do all you can for tho pigs; make as good hogs as possible; now is the time to push them; it costs less than in the fall. I want to call the attention of everybody to the fact that terraces, hedges and roadsides should be kept out or trimmed, lt ls bettor for the crop, for man and for the country. 1 seo another thing that we need to give attention, ?ind that is the graveyards. In some sections all aro lu a very bad condition, and that does not spenk well for any church or community. H ls a good sign of poor business, ns well as a lack of Interest in your church and a lack of the proper respect for tho memory Of your dead. It ls well to look at all sides of life, but it ls not well to forget or neglect the dead. M. G. Holland. Unclaimed Lott* rs.

IN MEMORY OF MISS S1IELOR. Opportunity for Sunshiners to Per? petit ute Memory of Their Loader. When I think ot the death of our beloved Sunshine leader, Miss Marye R.

It is only our faith in Him that dooth all yungs well that makes us look for ward with any confidence to tho car rying on of tho work since our loador has gone from her work to her reward. We did not realize ber condition long enough before the end came to do much for her, to show our love for her and appreciation of her work. Now let ?B honor ourselves by plac ing a monument at her grave. I bog each society to take a collection and every Sunshlner lu the State to con tribute. I especially want every child in Oconee to give five cents to wards the fund. She loved the chil dren and spent the best years of her life trying to Improve the schools for them. It ls utting that our first Sunshine president should have a monument by the Sunshiners of the State. Do let Oconee, her nativo county, lead. Can't we get it by the 19th of Au gust-the anniversary of tho acci dental killing of her brother, a day she kept sacred to his memory, and tried harder on that day to scatter Sunshine than on any other?
