THE SWEET TEMPERED WOMAN
Beauty of grooming, correct poise
and ability to make the most of one's
good points counts for more than a
beautiful face. Any woman with a
passable face may be attractive ami
even be considered beautiful, if she
will cultivate the art of being well
groomed.
“There are so many great things
that go toward making a well groomed
woman,'’ said a well-known beauty
culturist. “The first thing we teach
our patrons is the proper use of the
mirror. We teach women to look
hopeful, how to wear their clothes,
how to make their eyes shine, to lift
the corners of their lips, and to ob
serve what a pleasing effect is obtain
ed. After a time this becomes a habit,
and the mirror watchfulness is nr
longer necessary. Good nature is an
essential to a woman who would ap
pear at her best. Grouchiness, oi
ill-temper, is her own worst enemy.
Good nature depends, of course, very
largely on being well dressed, and a
well-groomed woman is nearly always
sweet-tempered." The September De

THE TEMPERANCE LECTURES
Col. Ed. P. Crowe of Dexter Mo.,
delivered a series of temperance lec
tures at the Methodist church in this
city Saturday, Sunday and Monday
evenings. His lectures were something
entirely different from the ordinary
temperance lecture, being freely in
terspersed with the humorous, yet hi*
arguments were a clear, forceful and
logical arraignment of the open saloon
and the liquor traffic. His illustra
tions were of the very simplest order
and were made in a manner that plain
ly indicated the speaker's mastery of
his subject and his clear insight and
understanding of the average individ
ual’s idiosyncrasies. There was no!
a dry nor uninteresting feature about
the entire series of lectures, and 1 •
brought out many points against the
saloon from moral, business and civic
standpoints that had never been dis
cussed from the platform in Newark.

TRIP TO JAMESTOWN
Good Meeting Enjoyed and Many Old
Friendships Renewed
A few days ago Mrs. Jernigan and
I pulled rein over Frank for James
town. Our going was in response to
a phone message to aid Rev. C. F.
Hively in a protracted meeting.
Nothing of s|H'rial interest occured on
tlie way, save a stop-over at Moore*
field at noon and an elegant dinntF
with Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Moore. This
is always in season and greatly en
joyed by preachers, and I think by
editors and all mankind in general.
I tut the crops: well, the outlook for
hog ami hominy is tip-top. And the
prospeets for a fine crop of the stuff
that makes the “all-wool goods*' is
fine. Nothing to destroy the corn,
there will 1*> thousands of bushel*
made where hundreds were cribbed
las', year, for which all should feel
j irofou nd 1 y grate fu 1.
Arriving at our destiny, we were
domiciled at the comfortable home of
Mr. John Cullens, whose bin had old
corn, and whose table, like all the
“valley" ones we sat at, was loaded
with good things to make glad a good
appetite. We met with many, many
old friends, among them being Mr.
and Mrs. John Cullens, Mr. and Mrs,
ttUU iUI
l Ml II
Uhles, Mr. and Mrs. Billie Pate, Mr.
and Mrs. Will Cullens, Mr. and Mrs.
Jell Porter, Mr. and Mrs, Stewart
(the Elder Stewart) Judge and Mrs.
A. J. Craig, Col. and Mrs. Howard,
Dr. and Mrs. Dixon, Mr. and Mrs.
.Tesse Massey, Hon. and Mrs. J. K.
Vork, Mr. and Mrs. Snapp, Jim
Craig, Fayette Baker, Ed Martin,
John Satterfield, Bud Henerton, G. C.
Rutledge and others, notably the aged
and elect old ladies, Grandma Craig
who is now DO years old, Grandma
Maxwell Dl. and Mrs. Fannie Porter
7s. All three of these aged mothers • — -
attended church. They are the salt of
the earth.
The meeting resulted in 14 conver
t-ions and 2s accessions to the Metho
dist church. Two gave their names
for the Baptist church, with others
to follow for both churches. Bro.
Hively, the popular pastor, had the
way well prepared for the great work. •
Rev. R. C. Morehead was with him 8
or 10 days, preceeding my going and
left Wednesday night after service.
Bros. Mitch Carter and Sid. Maxfield
did good work in the meeting. This
is as it should he. ‘‘Hear ye one
other's burdens and so fulfill the law
of Christ.” The interest of the meet
ing never waned from start to finish
and there was sufficient evidence on
the last night to have justified another
two weeks campaign against sin and
wickedness, hut the Baptists were to
begin a meeting shortly and it is hoped
they may gather a rich harvest from
the sowing already done.
All in all it was a joyful visit both
to me and Mrs. J. who enjoyed the
outing all the more on account of such
a long inning with our dear people at
home.
The converts were mostly young
people, hence not only is a soul saved,
hut a life is saved. When an old man
is saved it is only a soul saved, hut
a life lost that is, a life as to real
usefulness and service to God. But a
young man or a young lady saved
early in-life, saves a life for useful
ness and service for God and our
fellowman. lad the young take cour
age and the old take warning
