BRANDYWINE When a nation’s life at haz ard we’ve no time to think of men. Part of Brandywine had a very good rain last week but the balance is very dry. We would lie very' glad to have a general rain to enliven the crops Re v. T. R. Smith filled his reg ular appointment at Midway last Sunday. A “ lacker” is a person who is willing to take all the bene fits he can get without giving any thing in return. In other words he wants the pie and the nickle too. We do not blame anyone for being against prohibition, but we are certainly getting tired of hearing people who pretend to be prohibitonist saying that this law should be changed be cause it does not keep everyone from getting whiskey. We had just as well want the law a gainst murder or stealing re pi aled because they do not stop all murders and stealing. “Pat" if the U. S. is a Chris tian nation only in summer then it is not a Christian nation any time. Those fellows about whom you spoke last week are simple hypocrites and are not Christians. Just look around you and you will find a few who are real Christians and not pretenders. “Paw” would be delighted to be at the corespondents meet ing but it looks now like he can not come. We trust that the meeting will add to the inteli j gence of qur county paper by making us better writers. It would be a safe estimate to say that the annual June sing ing cost in actual money enough to support a Missionary in a foreign field. I do not suppose it would be much pleasure to be in the trenches fighting for France but it is our plain duty to give sub stantial aid to her for if it had not been for the men and seven or eight hundred million dollars that France furnished us we would possibly not have gained our independence. The News looks like a migh ty good paper since our editor has begun to give us those col umns of paragraphs. Let us have them each week for they are interesting as well as in structive. Paw. Notice. All persons having loved ones buried at Salem (Forsyth Coun ty) are requested to meet at the cemetery next Thursday, July 12th to clean off the city of the dead. Everybody invited. Be sure to come. Attention Boys If you want to do something worth while I want you in the calf, pig or corn club next year. All the boys between the ages of 10 and 18 years will be el ligible. If you intend to join now is the time to think about it. You ought to select your acre and sow in peas to gather Ni trogen for the corn next sum mer. 1 want all of the boys that ! entered this year and 100 new ones next year. Forsyth boys |are the equal of any in the j State and we have soil and cli— i mate to compete with any coun ty in the State in corn and stock raising. Boys lets prove it. Yours to serve S. J. Smith County Agent.
