Co didge, (la., Aug. ‘Js.—The much
needed rains which recently came
have proved of much value to the
growing fall crops; the merry song
and joylul whistle of the cotton
picker and the eleven and three
quarter smile of the farmer, are vie-
ing witn each otner in making the
citizens feel cheerful and happy
once again. While the cotton crop
will no*, yield near so much as it
promised up until a few weeks ago,
we are hoping that the price will not
decline to make the returns to the
grower less. Coolidge now has am
ple means for ginning, in the two
»?ins which are giving the beet of
satisfaction, and you can get your
cotton ginned here for the remarka
bly low price of one dollar per bale.

Oh, that our people, some of them
at least, would lose their thirsting
for the strong drink which destroys
home, peace and happiness. There
are signs of some things in and
around Coolidge that are not good
for its citizenry, and we urge upon
those who are guilty to refrain be
fore it is too late; for verily the
way of the transgressor Is hard, and
in the end it will reap its reward in
a way that will seem unpleasant,
but remember that when you sow
com, you reap corn; sow oats, and
you reap oats. So, when you sow
wickedness you reap misery. And
it will come, as sure as you live. Let

only a mother knows, and every
one who lives his fellow man, his
country and his God, see to it that
