We, the undersigned, hereby wish to ex-
tend our most sincere thanks to the many
kind friends who have given us their aid and
sympathy in our deep sorrow and terrible
affection occasioned by the drowning of our
beloved daughters, Lillian Maud and Rosie
Bell, Saturday July IL. The gentle helpful
ness in the preparation for the burial, antlc-
pating every want, the trimming of the grave
with evergreen by the children, the many
beautiful floral offerings so choicely selected
and artistically arranged, the painstakng
care of the conductor, the precious words of
the minister of Christ, and the appropriate
hymns so finely rendered by the choir, have
done so much to strengthen us against the
dreadful shock and SO greatly help us to bear
our heavy burden of grief. that any words
that we can use are too cold and formal to
express the depths of our gratitude for these
ministratons. But, dear friends, be assured
they are fully appreciated, and may God in
liis mercy prevent snch blow from ever
falling upon any of your homes.

with I. The next adds m; the next a;
another g. and the next instead of add
ing e, and completing the word, says
i. The following one gives n, and the
next by a happy thought does not give
e, but says a; and then follow t. i, o, and
n, when the word has to be completed
in spite of all. 1t is about the most

amt no April fools to speak of
amongst the farmers. W~hensomever
they do turn out to be fools they are
the most goncbyest fools in the round
created world, and fools from Christ
mas till Christmas-the whole year
round.
This year the farmer are goin plum
wild and crazy on cotton. In dGrln
the last three weeks I Amt heard a
blessed thing but mules and niggcrs
and cotton. and it raley looks to me like
if John Andrew could have his own
fool way about it he would turn to d
1oule or a bale of cotton before to-mor-
row mornin. 1t don't do NJ good to
talk to him. and | reckon you have got
it as bad as him, Or maybe d little
worse, but that won't keep me from
"ivin out my private ana personal opln"

fast and furious lick cotton will go
down and meat and bread will go up.

Runnin' Too DauburN Deep.

To come right down to business and
rock bottom--maybe the plain old fe-
male lady was right about that. Iou
see l have been over to the Newton place
before now when John Andrew wa
gone, and whilst Aunt Nancy amt no
farmer to hurt personally, she can jest
naturally beat the discovered world
standin in the back door and having
it done.
In ourlittle family confabulation that
day she brung to my mind the time
when old man Josiah Jernigan give me
n big chunk of good advice. l was
nothin but a yearlin boy then and /
had to do the millin for the family.
They had started me off to mill that
day, drivin a yoke c. little slab-sided,
razor-back wobbledy-legged steers to
a cart. It was in the dead of winter.
The weather was cold and wet and slop-
py, and as Andy Lucas would put it,
the road was most hellatious bad"
1 didn't drive so very far before l struck
a soft place and got stalled and stuck
hard and fast in the mud.
About that time old man Josiah
Jernigan come ridin along on his way
down to the cross roads. The old man
couldn't see nothin above the mud but
me and the sacks and the razor backs
of two little steers, and I reckon he
must have thought I was ridin in one
of those old-fashion wood slides.
"Better set your backband back a
few links, sonny" says old man Josiah,
as he rid on by. you're runnin her too
dadburn deep"
So / reckon it would be better if me
and John Andrew and all the rest
would remember Aunt Nancy and old
nan Josiah Jernigan, and set the
backband back a few links before we
run too deep ON cotton. The next time
it rains milk and mush in the Rocky
Creek settlement my dish will be
turned bottom side down and right side

.Never Got Married VII"

~ ASoESA -
I'm regards to one thing, I am a right
smart like Miss Callie Biggers," says
Aunt Nancy, as she went down into her
thanky bag oncst more and fished out
her darnin needles and q pair Of John
Andrews last years socks. "Along in
the Christmas there was a tremendous
big lot Of marryin goin on around in the
settlement. Bless gracious, it looked
to me like all the young folks had
pitched in to git married, and them that
didn't marry was courtin and carryin
on to beat six bits. The family disease
had broke out fresh, you understand,
Rufus, and it was spreadin like a prairie
fire before a high wind in March.
"One Sunday evenin / had went over
to the Biggers place to swap news and
pass a few compliments with the
women folks. Now, as everybody
knows, Miss Callie Biggers is good and
sweet and a great comfort to her moth
er, but she is as ugly as a meat axe,
and from general appearments it would
seem like she didn't have a seat right
up there on q front bench in the amer
corner when they handed round the
brains.
whilst the young people in the set
Element are marrying off in SIGH a
