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 ; MCDONOUGH. Sloan, 3 B. r. 2, h. 2, po 1, A. 4, e. 1.

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. G. L. THRASHER, Pres. List of Letters.
