II Gents for Ce!scn hn@ Safe Proposition.
Rotten cotton on the shaded part
of the stalk and the seed sprouting
in the open bolls above, is the COM
plant coming in from far and nearby
States. Stand firm for IL cents and
you will surely get it.
Whose business is it about how
much cotton you makeP 1t matters
little whether you have a large
lot or small lot of cotton. If
your bills are arranged this
cotton is yours aud you an
you only have the God-given right
to name the price that will give you
a reasonable profit for your WORK.
When all the prices came in from
all the Sorth Carolina Farmers
Unions the average up stood 129
ocnts for the South Carolina Unions.
But wien reports from all the States
were averaged up at the Texarkana
meeting it stood for IL cents and
South Carolina had to come down a
notch, but she is determined to lock
the wheels at II cents and drive
down stakes behind every wheel at
this notch.
Farmers, are you content and will.
ling to continue the habit of growing
a crop of cotton for profit and then
stand by silently and as dumb and
powerless as the mule that pulls the
wagon to town, and let some specu-
lator say how much profit you are to
get for your years labor? If you
are tired and tagged out on this line
come out to your local Farmers
Union and bring in your neighbors
with you. Let all go into the thing
and pull together for good to all.
If you have made the mistake this
time and fixed things 80 that you
have absolutely no control of your
cotton crop, do, for the sake of your
wife and children and for the reputa-
tion of your manhood, begin at once
to drill in oats and continue this oat
planting until the first of November,
then sow wheat until you are sure
that you have plenty to fill the belly
of all man and beast at your hands
then next year at this time you will
be carrying a stiff backbone and
feeling like you owned your own
cotton crop and could have a say
about it's value.

Death of Miss Bessie Dunn

On Thursday the NEWS received a copy of the Dixon, H., Daily Star, from which we clip an article regarding the death of Miss Bessie Dunn. The many friends she made here will be saddened by the news of her sudden calling away. The article follows:
 The funeral of Miss Bessie Dunn was held this afternoon at the Con- gregational church, Rev. Brook and Rev. Eckerson officiating. Inter- ment was at Oakwood. The pall- bearers were members of the grad uating class of 1904 of the Dixon high school.
 Bessie May Dunn was born in Chicago October 1, 1889. Her par ents moved to Kirkland, H., where she attended public school, later re- moving to Dixon, where she at- tended North Dixon high school for two years, subsequently, moving to South Dixon and entering Dixon high school, where she graduated in 1904.
 In the fall of 1905 she accepted a position as private tutor at Will jams, Arizona. and took up her work there Sept. 15, teaching for eight months. and returning home on June 10, 1906
 The change of climate was not beneficial to her and affected her heart, and she departed this life June 23, at 10 o'clock am.
 A short time before her death she told her parents that if she had ever injured anyone here or in Arizona she prayed forgiveness and died in the full hope of blessed immortal life, leaving her parents and one sister to mourn her untimely loss
 Miss Dunn was the organist oi

Meet After Twenty.six Years

MT. Arthur Roscower, editor of the Goldsboro (N. O. Headlight, stopped off for a few hours at Will jams last Wednesday from his trip to the Grand Canyon en route to the Pacific coast. He was the guest of his newly made friend and former schoolmate in Germany, MT. Jacob Salzman, whose agreeable acquaint- ance he made in very strange manner two days previous on his way to the Canyon.
 In passing MT. Salzman's store Monday evening MT. Roscower re membered the name he heard in his boyhood days, and introduced himself to MT. Salzman, who soon discovered his schoolmate from whom he separated when he left Germany just twenty six years ago. Suffice it to say that each was glad to meet the other, and as con- sequence an eternal friendship was pledged.
 MT. Roscower, who is promi- nent editor, will furnish syndi- cate letter to one hundred leading newspapers descriptive of his trav- els, which will cover over 15,OOC miles before he returns home. He is touring the continent for pleas ure and recreation, and will include Canada. finishing Mexico before entering Arizona. He left home on May 18th, and thus far has covered over 1000 miles, and expects to conclude his tour on August 1st.

 | Mrs. Jacob Salzman leaves to. morrow for a visit at the old home in Germany. She will be accom- panied by her son. Louis, and will, naturally, take along the baby.
