vears of one of the dearest old ladies
in our church, Mrs. M. F. Strickland,
“Grandma,” as she is known by all.
Her birthday came on Thanksgiving
day, as also does her granddaughter’s,
Miss Cora Strickland, but Miss Cora
didn’'t send hers, so I am at a loss
to say how many more it would have
been. The family enjoyed a delight
ful Thanksgiving dinner. All the

chinery at their ginnery that will
thrash the frost-bitten cotton bolls,
provided they are cracked a little and
are dry. They expect to be ready
for business by the first of next week.
So, Mr. Farmer, if you have a good
lot of bolls that will never open, pull
them dry, which of course can be
done many times quicker than they
can be pried open and picked. Se
sure they are dry and keep them dry
and bring them to Benson & Davis
and they will thrash them cheaper
than you can ever hope to get them
pulled open and picked. - They are
worth gathering and hauling fifty
}miles.
We got this little stunt on crank
ing a Ford on a cold morning, and
we gladly pass it on. Leave switch
key off until you have spun the crank
,eight or ten times, priming four times
as you spin, then turn on the switch
key, erank quick as usual and she
goes off easy.
