themselves in readiness to proceed to

Captain Pottle is a young man of
brilliant intellect, magnetic personality
and courageous manhood, and he wel
comes the duties of the hour with he
roic devotion to his country. His
friends and loved ones here pray that
a kind Providence may preserve his
life and health, and at no distant day,
when “grim visaged war hath smooth
ed her wrinkled front,” he may return
and enjoy the honors of his noble sac
rifice.

CONVINCED WAR WILL COME.
People of England Regard a Fight
With France Inevitable.
London, Nov. 5.—A majority of the
people here have been convinced that
war between Great Britain and France
is inevitable sooner or later. The gen
eral feeling in the country is such as
would endorse any warlike action upon
the part of the government. In any
case, work at the arsenals and dock
yards actively and silently continues,
and information on the subject has been
curtailed to an unprecedented point.
All the officials have strict orders
not to talk. The British admiralty has
suspended its daily announcements ot
the movements of British ships abroad
and the naval men express the opinion
that such far-reaching preparations
mean something far more than a naval
demonstration.

Death of Mr. J. W. Hubbard.
Mr. John W. Hubbard died at the
home of his father, Mr. William Hub
bard, in Midway, about one o’clock,
Friday afternoon, after an illness of
two weeks, with Typhoid fever.
The funeral services took place at
the residence, at 3 o’clock, Saturday
afternoon, Rev. John D. Bailey offi
ciating. His remains were buried in

Mr. Hubbard was about thirty years

death they have lost a sustaining help

to friends and neighbors, heartfelt ap

Owing to the extreme low price of

Be?
The recent Btorms am) gales answered the above question “A
heap of damaged cotton for which the low price hardly pays for the
harvest, Thousands of bushels of corn on the low lands ruined by
the floods.” All of which caused a gloom of dispair to be seen
upon everv countenance. Yet today among the farmers abides the
feeling of hopefulness which is caused by the genial snnshine of the
past two weeks. Around them are the whitening fields of the fleecy
staple, awaiting the harvest. The corn fields are laden with their
abundant crops and the hflpes of other days when cotton will be>
ten cents per pound, causes the tiller of the soil to still plant King:
Cotton. Upon the farmer depends our prosperity, all wealth comes
from mother earth, whether it be in mining or agriculture and upon,
them, too, depends the prosperity of our country.
