PRICE CUTS NO ICE.

| 1t will be seen from the letter of
'Vox," our Eta Jane Correspondent,
that the farmers in his section have
resolved to raise supplies for home
consumption, no matter if cotton
goes to 20 cents a pound. We most
heartily congratulate these farmers
upon their wise decision and com.
| mend their action as worthy OF emu
! lation by our farmers. 1t is most
sensible conclusion for the farmers Of
our prolific and sunny south land to
arrive at, therein lies the secret Of
the farmers independence. It is the
only true method Of throwing off the
! burdensome yoke Of oppression weld
eG around their necks by trusts and
combines, that have held the farmers
nose to the grind stone, while they
have grown fat from year to year ma

Systematized, and your cotton crop is
your surplus or money crop, you will
never be hurt by the price Of cotton,
YOU will lose no sleep over market

with calm serinity and turn your
cotton loose when it suits you, you
will truly be master OF the situation
which you can discuss with your
family around your festive board, la

Could there be drawn prettier pic

TRIPLETT-HARRIS,

At the home of the BRIDES parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. DIR. r. Il. Harris, in
West Audubon, Tuesday afternoon at
two o'clock, occurred the marriage of
their daughter, Edith to Mr.. Triplett,
of Atlantic, Rev. E. s. Hill, of Allan
tic, officiating.
The groom is a young man of spot
less reputation and one who commands
respect by his very manliness and
nobility of life. Fearless and uncom-
promising with wrong he has proven
himself to be one who deserves to be
honored and trusted. He has learned
that nothing comes to him who idly
waits and victory only comes to him
who by the sweat OF his brow, wins
his way in the arena of usefulness.
Miss Harris is one of the finest young
young womanhood southwest of town
and then entered the schools of Audu-
bon and passed through with honor to
herself and her class. Not deigning
to let her father support her, with
commendable self reliance she entered
the school teaching profession and has
been among the best teachers in the
county. Her womanly dignity, her
nobility of purpose and her amiable
disposition has won for her many
friends who feel assured that her life
will be a happy one.
Thus as husband and wife, they
start the foundation of our republic, a
home and whatever of sunshine or
shadows may come hand in hand they
will fight their way until victory and
J death crowns their efforts.

Rest.

In the prime, Of manhood and the
flush of health Joseph McFadden, of
east Leroy township, passed to rest
last Friday shortly afternoon. He
was at work, being out at the corn
crib with a load of corn, and the real
cause of his sudden demise will doubt
less never be known. Whether he
had heart failure or sustained some
sudden shock or fall can not be known
as he was found with life extinct, but
yet warm. Everything possible was
brittle cord of life had been broken
and possibly without moments
warning his spirit had returned to
Him who gave it. He passed from
the pleasures and joys of his daily
walk leaving behind devoted wife
and three children who deeply mourn
his loss and are weighed down with
the sorrow and grief. The deceased
was born near Pittsburg, Pennsylva-
MIA, May 1, 1858. He and his family
moved to Audubon county in May of
1856.
He has built and enjoyed comfort
able home and leaves his family we'll
provided for. He has a wide circle of
friends and associates whose friend
ship and respect he enjoyed. The
funeral was held Sunday at the home
conducted by the Rev. j. r. .Hink-
house, of the Presbyterian church
after which his remains were laid to
rest in Maple Grove cemetery.
