The long and useful life of Miss

years wi b useful service and good
works, always energetic and h4lp-

A great part of her life was

Items of Interest From the Sage
and Prophet of Falfa.

Editor Advertiser: In and
around Falfa the farmers all have
a pleased look and have a Alright
to, for all have worked hard to
clean their crops and in most in
stances have succeeded. Both cot
ton and corn are growing nicely
but let me tell you it took hard
llcks and lots of them to clean
the crop. The best pleased one of
all the bunch is G.. L. Dorm. You
know Luther don't you? Well, 1
will tell you who he is. He is a
son of Mr.. T. NJ. Dorm. Luther
has been married about four years
and this week he can say, SWELL,
Sir, l am daddy now." But Dickie,
he is Luther's brother, told the
writer this morning that Luther
had run off but he knew where he
was, and pointing to a big gully a
little distance off, said Luke is
in that gully with a little bundle
under his arm, but Dickie told a
fb, for he was near the house,
where the baby was, hoeing for
dear life and laughing all over his
face. e
There used to be Prophets and
some try to be now, but it is not
necessary to be a Prophet to tell
about certain crop next spring
or summer from the June we'd
dings. Tell the furniture stores
to lay in good supply of
cradles and The drug stores good
supply of soothing syrup. etc.
There are only two old bache-
lors lefton the west side now. One
of them says he has done his best
to get some woman to be his wife
and he can't. I don't believe him.

conscienceless money Sharks.

money sharks of the worst type.
To their usury and extortion there

TO 500 per cent. Money everywhere

In more ways than one the local
building and loan association has
been a blessing to this communi-
ty. Besides increasing the taxable
property of the town, it has en-
abled persons oflimited means to
build and own homes who without
this aid could lot have done 80.
The writer has in. mind now a
gentleman whose monthly pay
ments to the building and loan
association do not exceed the
amount of rent that he paid be-
fore buying his home. After the
lapse of about seven years he will
own his home, whereas had he
continued to rent be would have
nothing to show for the money
paid out during that time.
