Jasper was one of the first boys selected from the county and was in the trenches for several weeks. He says he is well cared for but likes Georgia girls best. The Bible class recently organized at the Baptist church is making prog ress and its influence, is being felt in other departments of the Sunday school. The first of the week it was reported that the soil survey work of the coun ty would be discontinued. With Judge Davis we telegraphed Congressman J. W. Wise. He telegraphed it would be continued until July 1st. Mr. O’Neal, who is in charge of the work, hopes to complete the work of our county by June the first. We hope every one will co-operate and aid him go the work will be completed %s early as practicable. Messrs. O’Neal and Long, in charge of the soil survey of the county, re port that most all our red clay soils has abundence of potash. Many farmers thought our lands deficient in potash, but phosphorus, ammonia and lime seems more needed than potash. We are glad to learn so'many girls will join the poultry club the present year. Some times it seems as if chick ens aiill eggs will have to be imprted. A girl weeding a pretty flock of chickens looks good to us.. Mr. Luther Ellerson, who has been secretary of the Chamber of Com merce at Jonesboro, Ark., has accept ed a position at Black Oak, Ark., and will assume his duties next week. Luther always remembers his friends and paper in his native, country, The Woman’s Club met with Mes- Uame$JrYr"N. Bally and W. It. Harrell last Monday. The attendance was good and all manifested a lively in terest in the plans of work for the present year. The regular routine of business was transacted and among the things to be done the present month was the cleaning up of all premises and the town generally. Af ter the business session refreshments ments were served and good social time bad. We are glad to note that that “flue” and pneumonia seem to be disappear ing from this comunity. A few w r eeks back the county board of health secured vaccine for vaccination free and most of the people in this vicinity have been vaccinated., We have heard many expressions to the effect that they believed the vaccine to be do ing good. Last year vaccine for small pox were administered to more than • five hundred at this place and not at single one of these people have contracted small pox, although some have come in contact with the dis ease. An old adage was that an ounce of prevention was worth several pounds of cure is proving to be true every day. the hillsides and forty -bushels of corn can be made to grow, when placed under cultivation, where bul rush grew before. Many have been active in the development of this land but none have pressed the project more than Messrs. J. M. Austin and S* E. Davidson. We hope some time in the near future to see every acre of this land cultivated in corn. We have plenty of resources but men who will see they are developed is needed What was it worth before ditching What is it worth now? Which will pay the largest dividend on. the in vestment? RESOLUTIONS Of Lisbon Sunday School in Loving Memory of Searcy E. Jones. W'hile in the lower part of the coun ty this week, we stopped a short while with Mr. J. H. Jones, just north of Brooks. He is a good fanner and plants other crops than cotton. At his home we always noticed that some one was fond of flowers. He told us his wife had sold seventy dollars worth of flowers recently. For more than thirty years Mrs F. B. Brown has notified her hus 'hand on the morning of his anniver sary thait she was preparing a dinner for he and his friends. Last Monday he received his usual notice. We have been with them many times and like many others, are always glad to be with them. It was his fifty-ninth anniversary. His good wife seems to know what will please his and his guests and she makes things ready, All enjoyed the occasion and express ed a wish that they might meet with him many anniversaries to come. We desire to thank our friends and neighbors for their kindness and sym pathy shown us during the illness and death of my dear wife and illness of little son.

Every boy and girl present of the proper age enrolled their names except two If all schools would do this we would have near a thousand club members At this school will be found shade ■trees planted and also flowers and shrubs are being planted. THINK AND BE WISE Mrs. K. V. Adams died at her home near Sanday creek Thursday and the Internment was at Flat creek, Satur day. Mrs. Adams had not been in good health since the death of her husband, Mr. -K. V. Adams, a few years, back. Mrs. K. V. Adams died at her home near Sandy creek Thursday after an illness of several months duration. Mrs. Adams was Miss Whitlock before her marlage to Mr. K. V. Adams, who died a few years back. She had lived in the county all her life and was held in high esteem by her neighbors and acquaintances. She is survived by two sons, Rev. C. A. Adams, of this county and Mr. Claud Adams, of At lanta. The funeral exercises were held at Flat creek, Saturday and the internment of remains were at the cemetery at that place. The work of the dredging machine on Camp creek is nearing complection. Most of land 1 in this swamp was al most' worthless and was an expense to the owners. When put in cultiva tion much of it will be the best pro ductive land in its section. This I swamp countains the best soil from I Ever since Eve yielded in Eden, woman has been Eatan’s favorite and most effective tool to be used for de moralizing humanity. When the Prince of Evil wishes to work some espec ially subtle and devilish sheme on hu manity he beguiles women to take the lead in some “new,” “progressive,” “emancipation,” or “reform” move ment that takes her out of her nor mal sphere as home-maker, wife and mother. The home is the greatest institu tion of our Christian civilization. In the earlier days the people of this county cultivated and emphasized the home life as no other people in all history excepting the ancient Jews. And we grew and prospered as no other nation in the history of na tions. But it is coming to pass that wel as a people are letting go—losing the home life at a rate that is start ling those who really think about it What will be the result? Ye teach ers and educators, have you the right viewpoint and attitude on this vital matter, and are you leading the young people, the soon-to-be citizens, to see this matter with correct vission? There are three Divinely ordained institutions for humanity—the home, the church and the state. We cannot ignore this fact or slight our obliga tions to either and flourish as a peo pie; and no manner or extent of ‘‘new thought” can change these laws which are as inexorable as the laws of nature which we know are im mutable. Let us think on these things and be wise. To lcno-w 'God and obey His laws is the beginning of wisdom.— Exchange. STEINHEIMER’S CLEVELAND BIG BOLL COTTON. FIRST—At Georgia Experiment Sta tion, 1918.

STDINHEIMER, Brooks, Ga. Our hearts have again been sad- j dened and grieved, occasioned by the , sade message from the war depart-1 ment on January the 15tli, 1919, an nouncing the untimely death of one of Fayette county’s brave and most splendid young men, Searcy E. Jones, who, in action, on November the 4th, 1918, so willingly gave his life for the liberty of his country, in one of the great battles of the world’s war for democracy, and iplaced his name among the great heroes and on our nation’s honor roll. He was the son of Charles P. and Dorothy Jones and was born in Fay ette county on November the 17th, 1889. Here he spent his boyhood and the greater part of his manhood, go ( - ing away to accept a position in At lanta only a short while before en- tei’ing the service of his country in October, 1917. He was stationed for a short time at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., then at Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga., where he took the military training for oversea duty with company — of the 121st in fantry of the Dixie division. After having spent eight months in the camps of the U. S. A., he sailed with this division for France the first of June, 191S, and there saw service at the front with his company, mak ing a brave and heroic soldier for his country. He joined Union Chapel Methodist church in the summer of 1912 and was a faithful member of this church at his death. He was also a member of Lisbon Sunday school. Always faithful and loyal to the cause, and ever 'present and ready to do the will of his Master. Therefore, be it Resolved, first, That in the untime ly death of Searcy, the Sunday school at Lisbon has lost a faithful and loyal member, and feels it a great loss which none can fifl. Resolved, second, That we extend to his bereaved family our truest sym pathy and commend them to the God he trusted for Ihe consolation which can only come from above, and that we pray God’s richest blessings upon them all. While our hearts ache so sadly for the bereft ones, we can only trust God and ask them to do the same. Resolved, third, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our Sunday school minutes, a copy be sent the family and to The Fayetteville News for publication. A REAL MAN. »>»&»»»«<:««««€ It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you havfe an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood. The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing nntil you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. NOTICE, GIRLS! It is now time for enrolling club members for the present year, and I would like to have the name of ev ery girl over ten years of age in either the canning club or poultry club. Boys may also join the poultry club. On account of sickness I haven’t yet been able to visit your school, but hope to do so soon. All who expect to join the poultry club should get some pure bred eggs and set your hens as soon as possi ble. We want to get these hatched off early, so ' they will be well matured in time for the fair. Those who ex pect to join the canning club should get some seed in the ground soon and have early plants to put out. Every boy and girl should grow something this year. Give your name and address to your teacher with the name of the club you wish to join and ask her to send it to me right away. I will send instruc tions when names are receved. I hope to have a good list from each school. LELA M. DICKSON, County Home Demonstration Agent. LINE CREEK. This is the first of March and noth ing done toward farming here yet. E. D., W. B. and J. F.
