Did you ever see such weath
er l
Cotton continues to soar even
though it is during a democrat
ic administration.
Old Nehemiah was a grand
character. He believed in pray
er but he also believed in Hav
ing some men ready to fight.'
Someone has said that when
the church is doing some real
business that the world gets
mad at her. Do von hear very
much fussing about what she is
doing?
More cotton has been pick
ed around the hearth this fall
than ever before. These crack
ed bolls takes day and night. If
it was not sb high in price much
would be turned under.
A nice chance of grain has
been sowed in our cdmmunity
and it has been fine veathgr, so
we have a splendid stand. If
we do not have aViother freeze
like we had last winter we will
make at least a pari of our
bread at home.
A good deal of plowing 1 as
already been done, and if this
weather continues we will do
much more between now and
Xmas.
A number oLeases of Ger
man measle? is with us now,
and more is ex i cted soon. Jt
is a mild form and not giving
much trouble but we rather not
have it just at present. If wo
could handle the-Germans as
easily as we do the measles we
would soon win this war.
The most drunkards of today
are the sons of drinkers. Count
.17- onr] Cos? if if ia. r.pt
and most whiskey sellers come
from the same place.
How much longer are we go
ing to permit our people to get
in their cars and haul whiskey
into our midst? Son*: people
who claim to be good citizens
and even some church members
are hauling it almost every
day, but they do it in such a
way as to make it hard to catch
them.
Last Sunday afternoon, in

but the next day wasn’t so plea

laws. We spent Monday and
Tuesday in the court room an 1
then had a pleasant trip home.
Those people in the upper
