^HAT ABE WE GOING TO DO?
The boll weevil is going to get our
cotton next year; the worms are after
our corn; and cattle and hogs are
doing fine as long as we can get some
thing to feed them. Got to send all
our children to school between six and
fourteen. Are getting bulletins from
State and National Government as to
how to farm. Some say to save all
your straw, leave weeds and stalks to
enrich the soil. Others say burn
everything—woods, fields and weeds.
As to the boll weevil. He may ruin
us next year. True, he got lots of our
cotton, but if wo had made more it
would not have brought us as much
money. The farmers in our section
are in bottter financial condition than
ever before.
Some of our farmers had the auto
fever and could not get wll until they
got a can and our good friend, A. J.
Fernanda-has two. Messrs.'J. W. H.
Hunter, J. A. Sudduth and Henry
Davidson are those purchasing Fords.
Some of our good farmers are afraid
of the corn worms, which cut a lot of
our corn after it was grown, causing
it to fall.
The thing that is going to get our
goats after Jan. 1. 1020 is, we will be
expected to send our boys and girls
from the ages of six to fourteen, to
school. Good law! But, oh, how it
will hurt some of us fellows. I am
going to submit, grin and endure, and
by all means, keep my children in
school five days a week. As to the
principle of such laws it hurts, but the
idea of driving men to do things hurts,
and if'men would do as they ought
such laws would never have been
made.
Now, what about those bulletins?
One says: “burn,” another says,
“save.” It seems that it. is O. K. to
save—put everything back to the soil
you can, or you make your soil poorer.
As to burning the fields, woods and
everything, Of course we would get
a few boll weevils, but it seems that
there would be more loss than profit,
and in the long run I am fearful we
would be the losers.
School at Bellville is good.
Several from our midst went to
Dougla’sville Saturday to see the air
ship.
Sunday School at Ephesus is doing
fine.

confined to her bed for several weeks,

DOUGLASVILLE SCHOOL NEWS
The Christmas spirit was very en
thusiastically carried out in all the
grades of the school. The rooms were
attractively decorated with wreaths,
bells, holly, and mistletoe. The
Christmas trees in the lower grades
were covered with presents for the j
lPtle people.
The pupils surprised the .janitor by
preparing a box of gifts in each room
for him. He has been very faithful
and deserves these thoughts. *
