The low price of cotton has also,

it sold for from eight to ten dol

for $4. <... - :
Yes, times have changed and
mother’s work has increased. I sed
lo .girls would get up in the spring
of the year, help their mothers get
breakfast, and when they got
through eating, would go to school
harefooted. Now the most of them
take up ♦he biggest part of the
time, while their mothers get
breakfast, in putting on tljoir
shoes end socks and in front of
the mirror powdering their faces,
making it pretty hard on poor old
tired mother. Then maybe the
father is otit chopping wood while
the boys are throwing a ball,

You take a member and'let him
lie always abusing, criticising a
man and lie is no good to the
church, the county, or anything
else. A man who serves the dev

of a Sunday is u slack wad. The
Lord gets tired of such conduct
and turns him over to the devil,
and when one of the devil’s angels
gets into n church he cripples the
whole concern. And of course a
prayer in public from such a per
son would cause the Lord to turn
Lis hack and blush with shame
and disgust.
From Jackson Herald
Mr. Howell McKlhannon, who
has Ikmmi in the V. fck Navy and
stationed at Great Lakes. 111., for
the past three months, arrived in
the city Wednesday on a short
furlough to visit his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. B. McElhannon.
In talking with Judge W . \N.
Dickson, Ordinary of Jackson
county this week, he stated that
he is selling quite a few marriage
license. In hard times people get
married. We guess they need
'sympathy then more than at other
times.
Mr. A. J. Fite, who is one of
Jackson county’s very best far
mers, will farm very little this
lyear. It is a pity to lose such a
man from agriculture as Mr. Fite,
lie carefully ditches and terraces
Ids lands, rotates bis crops, plows
deep, and otherwise takes splen
did care of the land. Each year
he endeavors to make the soil he
cultivates more productive than it
was the previous year.
When .Mr. H. H. Freeman paid
his subscription this week to the
Herald, he said, “This pays every
debl I owe. lam always very
careful about making debts. In
fact, I do not have to buy much,
as 1 always try to make my living
at home. I bought only fifteen
bushels of corn in all my life. I
grow wheat, corn, oats, hay, peas,
syrup, and I make my own meat.
1 find by so doing, that 1 can al
ways pay my debts, whether cot
ton sells for a good price or a low
price.”

SOILING THE JEFFERSON
AND COMMERCE ROAD
Notwithstanding the weather
has been unfavorable for road
work during the past several
weeks, yet the contractors have
been making progress on the pub
lic road leading from Jefferson
via Commerce to the Banks county
line. The new road, in some
places has been soiled and a crew
of hands are at work placing soil.
They are handicapped because in
some places, the soil is either not
available or at too great a dis
tance from the road-bed. Mork
is being done on the new bridge
near Apple \ alley, but it will yet,
be tjviite a while before the bridge
can be made ready for use.

the emancipation cf small girls from

bloomers have replaced petticohts for
wear under the frocks of little girls,
In all their everyday gart>. They are
gaining in favor for older girls and
for grownups, giving greater freedom
in walking. Rompers serve as a com

§1,000,000 HOTEL IB SWEPT BY
FIRE
Augusta, Ga. Febuary 4. (Spec
ial.) —The Bon Air, among the
best known, of southern winter re
sort hotels, was destroyed by fire
which broke out early this morn
ing,the structure being in ashes
by 6a.m., after burning two hours
and a half. The destruction was
complete, except for servants’
quarters.
The guests left the hotel in an
orderly manner, no one of them
being injured, though many of
them lost personal effects, the sum
total of which is in the tens of
thousands of dollars.
One of the best seasonse was at
its height, practically all of the
260 guest rooms being occupied,
j Leaving the burning structure
the guests found refuge in the
[Part ridge Inn, a nearby winter re
sort hotel. In addition scores of
the heads of families residing in
the Ilill section presented them-
Jselves at the fire and sought to
make the hotel guests their home
guests, with the result that sever-
al of the visitors found accomoda
tions in this way. Some of these
visitors are to remain here for the
winter in their newly found homes
and others are seeking to rent cot
tages on the Hill. The Partridge
Inn has taken as many of the
“homeless” ones as possible, and
downtown hotels filled during the
day.
