\lready farmers of the county have

i It has been demonstrated that the
imate and soil of Terrell county are
eal for strawberry culture. Grow
ers oet their berries on the market
bractically two months in advance of
ther sections and thus obtain the
largest returns.
This vear the few growers in the
lounty realized large profits from a
lomparatively small acreage. From
bhree acres Mr. D. A, Smith sold $l,-
000 worth of berries, and from four
beres Mr. B. M. Davidson realized
81100, Also last season the growers
had the added disadvantage of having
the first two crops killed by the cold.
In this section pickers are plentiful,
in fact the laborers on the farm can
it odd hours pick the berries and at
he same time make a little extra
moncy and not be wholly dependent
n the owner of the farm during the
ean spring months.
The returns from the strawberry
rop also tide the farmer as well as
he tenant over the non-producing
kpring months of cotton, and in some
ases have defrayed the operating ex
enses of the entire farm.
Conservative farmers and business
men of Terrell county have already
pledged various numbers of acres to

FLAMES REACHED SUCH HEAT
THAT NEARBY TELEPHONE
CABLE WAS MELTED.
The one-story tin building on the
extreme west end of Johnson street,
next to the Farmers’ Savings and
IL.oan Co's. bank, was completely
gutted by fire about 1 o’clock Satur
day afternoon.
The building was occupied by a ne
gro cafe and pressing club. The fire
originated when a gasoline iron ex
ploded, the flames spreading rapid
ly over the entire building. A number
of suits, in facti all that were in the
pressing shop at the time, were de
stroyed, as was everything in the
cate. The pressing shop was operat
ed by Mitch Ware and the restaurant
by Oliver Jackson, and the building
was owned by Joe Thomas. It is un
derstood that there was no insurance.
The fire department reached the
scene of the conflagration at once, but
experienced considerable difficulty in
getting water on the fire. For a time
it looked as if the negro bank next
door was also doomed, but the only
damage to it was done by the water
used in extinguishing the burning
building. .
The heat from the fire was so great
that the telephone cable stretched in
front of the building was melted.
PROHIBITION OFFICER
EMPLOYED TEMPORARILY
Not Hired for Year, as Reported. No
County Farm Demonstrator.
At their recent meeting the county
commissioners acted favorably upon
the request of a number of citizens to
employ a county farm demonstrator.
There was some discussion but no
action taken at this time.
As previously announced they voted
to continue the employment of Mr.
Garnett W. Saye as prohibition en
forcement officer. His employment is
by the month, however, and not for
a vear. He will be paid $2OO a month
as heretofore.
OBSERVE ROSH HASHANAH
FESTIVAL, IMPORTANT FOR
ALL JEWISH PEOPLE.
The Jewish New Year, Rosh Ha
shanah, began yesterday (Monday)
evening, September 10th, and will last
through the today. It is a purely re
ligious occasion and in that spirit it
will be solemnly celebrated in every
synagogue and temple throughout the
world. Among the orthodox an addi
tional day is kept with prayers, litan
ies and songs equal in fervor to those
of the first day.
Rosh Hashanah registers the pro
foundest convictions of the Jewish
people. Together with the Day of
Atonement, which occurs ten days la
ter, it has always had a unique hold‘
on.the Jewish people the world ovcr.‘
Biblical scholars maintain it was
instituted after the time of Ezra, at‘
least four hundred years before the
common era. It is natural to suppose
that throughout the ages the holy day
underwent certain changes as to in
terpretation and mode of observance.}
|At no time, however, did it resemble
the celebration which ushers in the
secular new year. According to the]
Jewish teachers New Year was an ex
cellent psychological moment to in
culcate a moral lesson and remind
men and women of their obligations
to God and man.
The Biblical basis for the New
Year is found in Leviticus 23:24,
where it said: “In the seventh month,
in the first day of the month, shall be
a solemn rest unto you, a memorial
proclaimed with the blast of horns, a
holy convocation.”
There are evidences thaf* Babylo
nian rites did at one time prevail in
the celebration of the New Year. But
the leaders of Jewish thought in an
cient and modern times counteracted
them and sought to make the first day
of the Hebrew month Tishri a day of
divine judgment. This does not mean
a day of fire and brimstone and the
rod of chastimement. Purging the day
of hilarious rites, a pagan custom, the
leaders transformed it into an occa
sion for high resolve and sincere self
searching.
The symbolism of the day was used
with great effectiveness in driving
home the moral lesson of repentance.
The sounding of the ram’s horn (Sho
far) was to remind the congregation
to repent of their sins and to improve
their ways.
The Shofar blasts were intended to
signify three dominant ideals of the
religion of Israel. These blasts pro
claimed the fact that God is King all
over the carth, that He is Judge of
man’s deeds and thoughts and that He
is Ruler who proves throughout the
ages that righteousness and justice are
ultimately triumphant.
The New Year’s day is therefore
a sort of judgment day. According to
Judaism, judgment day is not held af
ter man has departed this world. On
the contrary judgment day takes place
annually in this life in order to make
man the better prepared for service
to humanity.
Legend has it that this is the 5684th
vear since the world has been created.
This fiction is no longer seriously en
tertained. The medieval custom of go
ing to a river or any body of water
to cast one’s sins into the depths of
the sea is likewise obselescent and
only half heartedly carried out. On
Rosh Hashanah greetings are ex
changed among friends and kindred
and household ties are knit firmer.
New Year’s cards are mailed to friends
and relations. .
WOMAN’'S TEMPERANCE
UNION ELECTS OFFICERS
Employment of a County Prohibition
Officer Endorsed.
The meeting of the local W. C. T.
U., held at the Methodist church,
proved to be a very interesting one.
It was conducted by the president,
Mrs. R. E. Bell, in her usual efficient
manner.
As there were several business mat
ters to be brought before the Union
the literary program was dispensed
with. One of the most important
subjects discussed was the circulation
of an anonymous circular which was
distributed throughout the county.
After considering the various points
brought forward in this poster it was
decided by the Union that its main ob
ject was the defeat of the county po
liceman, whose re-election was® a
vital matter with the W. C. T. U.
It was decided that the Union
would attend in a body the meeting
of the county commissioners and en
courage by their presence the re-elec
’tion of the county policeman.
The nominating committee through
'its chairman, Mrs. C.. A. Harris,
brought forward the names of the fol
lowing women as officers for the en
suing year, all of whom were unani
mously elected: President, Mrs. R. E.
Bell; vice president, Mrs. John Ken
nedy; second vice president, Mrs. G.
A. Gibson; recording secretary, Mrs.
L. L. Allen; corresponding secretary,
Mrs. L. Lamar; treasurer, Mrs. B. B.
Perry; leader L. T. L., Miss Gladys
Dismuke; pianist, Mrs. N. H. Al
