The South’s Promissory Note.
That is what the cotton bloom
is, Is it not truly a “promise to
pay” and in liberal instalments too?
How all the world places its trust
and hope in the payment of that
note! All Europe and Wall Street
send down their gold to discount
it even before maturity.
So the coming of cotton’s first
bloom is an event of importance
in the South and to all the world.
Mr. Allen Rape, of Greenwood,
sends the first bloom for this year
to The Weekly. It first waved its
greeting to the sun on June 24th,
and Mr. Rape has caught it wear
ing its beautiful morning color.
Mr. Rape is a tine farmer and
has a fine crop. Such a record,
for the conditions this season, is a
fine one.
Almost upon the heels of Mr. Q.
A. Dickson with Mr. Rape’s bloom
came Mr. Fisher bearing a bloom
sent by Mr. C. G. Fields, which
was plucked on the 26th of June.
Mr. Fields knows how to pro
duce these blooms and how to
make them realize him a good
profit each year.
And later by just a little, on
June 29tn, we receive another
bloom of early promise, made on
Mr. G. B. H. Weldh’s place. Mr.
Welch is such a farmer as can
well uphold McDonough Dis
trict’s high stand in agriculture.
And The Weekly wishes these
genial men the best cotton crop of
their experience and many more
years of better crops each year.
McDonough Ball Team
Defeats Hampton.
Our Team is Now Going Fine.
MeDonough has a base ball team
of which she should bo proud. In
every department of the game
they excel and every position is
well played.
The team went over to Hampton
Friday for a game with the excel
lent andolevor team of the metro
polis of Westorn Honry.
And our boys [for it is entirely a
home team] did play ball.
There were many features of the
game in McDonough’s playing.
Probably chief among them were
the battery work of Thompson and
Bowden and the hitting of Bowden
and Sloan.
The whole team did fine playing
throughout the performance.
The Hampton team also played
an excellent game. Harrison pit.
ched a beautiful game and, but
for an error or two at the critical
points, the score would not have
been so large against them.
Griffin’s work at second base and
the batting of Fields and Daven
port were features of Hampton’s
playing.
Below we give the score in de
tail ;

MRS. D. A. BROWN
FALLS ON SLEEP.
One of McDonough'* Most Popular
Young Matrons Passes Away.
Mrs. D. A. Brown breathed her
last Saturday afternoon at 12:30
o’clock at the home of her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Tarpley.
She had been ill for a week or
two, but it was only during the last
day or two of her illness that there
was any thought of a fatal termi
nation.
McDouough is filled with grief
over this loss of one of her fairest
and favorite daughters; for the
town claimed her, as she lived
here us a girl and, wedding one of
our popular young men, a native of
our town himself, had made the
town her home since her marriage.
Illustrating as she did the finest
virtues of true Christian woman
hood, —the highest type of hu
manity it is possible to
she had been an inspiration to her
husband and a source of pride to
her parents who had reared her.
When we realize what she was
to each of them especially and
what she was to our town in gen
eral, we know that the good Giver
and Taker of Life must have a
glorious work and duty indeed for
her, to which he has transferred
her.
And the bowed and stricken
help-mate who survives her may
know that the home-building sus
pended here below is being con
tinued by her in a fairer land in
preparation for his coming.
She is survived by her husband,
Dr. D. A. Brown, and her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Tarpley, and
three sisters, Misses Eunice, Ida
Lou and Florine.
The funeral was held at the
Baptist church Sunday afternoon
at 3 o’clock. Services were con
ducted by the pastor, the Rev. W.
W. Arnold.
An immense crowd of friends
throng the church to pay the last
respects to the departed one.
The burial took place at the Mc-
Donough cemetery.
The Weekly joins with the
whole town in sympathy with the
mourning families.
Notice!
It is earnestiy requested of the
Stockholders of the Farmer’s Un
ion Warehouse Co., to be present
at their annual meeting on Wed
nesday July 6, 1910. It is hoped
that all will try and be present as
there is business of much import
ance to be transacted.
