We wish to emphasize again the im portance of continued search for the boll weevil on every farm and in ev ery cotton field. They multiply rap idly and the best way to prevent this is by picking up the squares and burn ing them. Encourage your neighbors to do the same. They seldom bother bolls if there are squares for them. Three weeks more and this crop wi be safe. Help yourself, your neigh bor, your county, to prevent damage from this pest.

Digby this week at the Christian Church. I Mr. N. D. Huchaby, of Brooks, writes us he has 17 acres of as good cotton as is in the county. We suggest that Messrs. H. P Redwine and Chas. T. Dorsett go down as they want to see some as good as theirs. It is now time to sow turnips and we would like to see a good patch at every home. There are but few vege tables that takes less work and yields more on the ground. Besides being good for table use, they are relished by hogs and will save you about one third the corn for your hogs. We are glad to see our county com missioners trying to use the road drags as weir as the machines. Their force has been small and the recent heavy rains have burdened them with bridge work and breaks in the roads. We are glad to hear so many peo ple tell of their good corn. There are numbers who say they will make fifty bushels per acre. Uncle Gilfred Harris says his district will make more corn than it ever did in its history. .

DIXON Sworn to and subscribed before me this 6th day of August, 1919. . C. P. MIZE. (My commission expires March 21, 1921.) The Beneficent Bat The government of the United States has discovered that the bat, instead of being useless and worth less, as is generally thought, is really m<jst valuable. He is the inveterate enemy of all insects that fly at night. In recent investigations bats shot in the evening after flying for 12 minutes were found with stomachs so gorged with mosquitoes, gnats and small flies that it was difficult to see how they could eat any more. Womanly Wit A young lady whose dramatic abil ity was greater than her personal at tractions called on a popular manager with the view of obtaining a part. The manager chatted about the value of good looks to ! a woman, ending up with, “Beauty is to a wqman what brains are to a man.” “There’s only one thing more valuable to a man than brains,” said the young lady. “What’s that?” asked the manager. “Tact!” was the reply. Making Friends. If one would have friends she must prove a friend. We cannot play a grouchy part and favorably impress others around us. Whatever Fate has fent us or denied us in the way of good looks doesn’t matter. If we would be happy and help some one to feel likewise, we must put self in the back ground occasionally and show to that “some one” that we want to be her friend. —r New York Evening Tele gram. Poise. Sarah Bernhardt is credited with having said: “Prettiness does not matter. If a woman has charm and jnergy, she can secure whatever else she desires—love, success, power.” There is a distinction between pretti ness and beauty. A fluffy-headed, high ly powdered and rouged woman may be pretty, but thebeautiful woman has to have wholesomeness, cleanliness, neatness and charm. And the latter Is the permanently endowed. Had Right Idea, Anyway. My youngest daughter is quite a peachy little person and it, is quite amusing at times to hear her air her views. The day after Christmas sev eral children from the neighborhood came In to see her gifts and to play with her. When exhibiting her pres ents she said in her best peachy man ner: “I gived away a lot of things and I ’Joyed my Christmas so much ’cause It’s nicer to be a giver than a taker."— Chicago Tribune. Parasol a Mark of Honor. It was not until the eighteenth cen tury that the parasol became distinctly an article of feminine costume. Large and elaborate parasols have from time immemorial been a mark of honor and official dignity in the Orient. In India, In 1877, when the then prince of Wales made his famous tour, he was com- | pelled, that he might properly impress \ the natives, to ride upon ah elephant and have over his head a parasol with a frame of gold, and with a covering stitched with precious jewels. GOOD CITIZENSHIP »•»»>»•>•»««<«««< A Bank account makes a good citizen. That’s a broad assertion, but it is universally true. A good citizen is one who is independ ent, self-supporting, and who does things con ducive to the best interest of the commun ity. The man who has a bank account is independent, he is thrifty, he is able to pay his way, and he contributes to the general wealth of his community. His funds are in circulation. He pays taxes and helps to make things go. Likewise a man who has money and property in a community is anxious to see that the community prosper. We pull for the man with the bank account.
