STAND YOUR GROUND, FARMER.

Hold your cotton, farmers! Don't
allow those Wall Street thieves and
plunderers to bluff you.
They abused you and bluffed you
when you asked the government to
create real money to the amount OF
$50 per capita. You knew that what
the country needed was a larger vol
ume of real money. But they Laughed
at you, lied about you, cheated you
out of your votes and never rested I'M
til they got the constitution amended
by treasury ruling and an act OF
Congress, and thus fastened the sim
gle gold standard upon you.
Then, when the sound money gem
tlemen had shrunk the volume of mon
ey of final payment, they flooded the
country with deluge of bank paper,
rested ten credit dollars on every sim
gle one of the real dollars, and Toasted
sumptuously on compound interest on
their own debts.
Then, one fine day, somebody got
scared and wanted real money. His
fright scared everybody else, and then
everybody wanted real money.
But ten men were clamoring for
each one of those real dollars, and ten
demands for it were made, at the same
time and place.
Result, panic.
But, farmers, stand firm!
Let those silk hat thieves and plum
derers who laughed at you and robbed
you, sweat awhile.
One of them has already shot his
head off. If the rest of them would
do the same thing, the panic would
become popular-so much so, indeed,
that we would even become fond OF
these cheap and funny looking things
that they call clearinghouse certifi-
cates.-Watson's Weekly Jeffersonian.

Obituary.


Alice r. Bailey was born near

1873, where she lived through the
days of childhood and was loved
by all who knew her. At the age
OF thirteen years she joined the
Missionary Baptist church and
lived a consistent Christian life
until death claimed her. On Dec.
IS, 1898, she was married to w.
NJ. Zarnes and was the mother of
FIVE children. She was a faithful
wife and loving mother and true
neighbor. She has been confined
to her bed for tour months with
dropsy but she bore her trials with
cheerfulneSs and said 1T is the

On the night of Nov. 27, the death
angel knocked at the door of Bro.
Zaraes and demanded its greatest
treasure, dear companion and a
faithful mother, and at six O'Clock
a. m. She meekly bowed her head
and babe loved ones and friends
goodbv and crossed over the dark
river to that home eternal in
Heaven.
Again the home of Bro Zarnes
was darkened on Nov. 80, 1907,
when the death angel came and
took baby Zarnes, who was born
Sept. 8, 1907, to go ON with its
mother to the Glory land The
