. FROM A LITTLE Boy.
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
AS have not seen anything from
HopeweH Local, I will step in for a
few minutes chat with the cousins
am boy of la years. My father is
a union man and takes the Advocate
and we like it fine. think the Farm
ers' Union is the greatest organization
in the world and ! am going to join
when I get old enough. think that
everybody should join and help us to
gain the victory. If all the farmers
would do as my father did last year
we would not have to buy what we
need to eat. He made plenty of corn,
potatoes and syrup to last us this year
and enough meat and lard to last us
until we get through work We also
have enough hay and fodder to last
us two years and we feed FIVE head of
horses. We made eight bales of cot
ton last year and have five bales now.
If the farmers win only hold their
cotton 1t will soon be bringing is
cents. Well, guess have said
enough for the first time. II I see
this in print, ! will come again
Yours for the good Of the union,
DERMY .DEEN.
Come again Dermy your letter has
the right sound. If we had more men
like your father who makes what they
need at home It would not be long
before we would gain the victory.

LADIES and CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.
THE WAY TO WIN.

Life sets every man a task
Great or simple, do not ask,
Just get at it:
Through the sunshine and the rain,
Through the pleasure and the pain
Just keep at it.
When the toll and stress are past
Till the rest-time comes at last,
Just keep at it.
Be the job mammoth one
Keeping at 1t gets it done
Just stick to it:
Handicapped upon lffe's race
Find an even, steady pace,
And stick to it:
Though you started far behind
Keeping at it you will find
That you'll win it.
Live in love and brotherhood,
Holding fast to faith in Cod
Keep on brayely.
Toiling on through joy and care !,
DO your best and ne'er despair,
Just keep at it:
Faithful to each right endeavor
True to honest purpose ever
Just keep at it.

SUN, MISS.

Dear Advocate:
Here am knocking for admittance
again, How are you all enjoying the
good old summer time? ! am enjoy
ing 1t fine. We are having some very
pleasant times going to protracted
meetings. The farmers had union
meeting at Hope Well the 9th and
10th Of July. The next meeting win
be at Line Prairie in October. I think
all the farmers ought to join the union
and then they could get their price
on their cotton and wouldn't have to
take just what the merchants will
give them. have four brothers and
they all belong to the union. / will
bid you adieu for this time with best
wishes to the farmers and dear old
Advocate.

FROM PRAIRIE LOCAL.

Dear Advocate:
AS 1 have not seen a letter from
Prairie local, | thought ! would at
tempt to write a few lines and let
you know how we are getting along
in our union We have some good
members, but some or them need a
good waking up. I think If we had
some good speaker to come and give
us good lecture it would prove of
benefit to us, Our last county meet
ing was held with Malone local and
we had some fine lecturers with us
I am true believer in the Farmers
Union, and hope the farmers will all
stick together until we win the vic
tory. | will close for this time and

Will you admit a farmers daughter
into your happy band of young peo-
pie? My father is a union man and

the ones that rule the world, and If

YOUNG MAN LOSES ARM
By c. H. MANDY.

Ensley December 16.-(Special 1.-The special feature of the early morning ses- sion of the presbytery of Birmingham of the Presbyterian church, U. S. A, which is being held in the Cumberland Pres byterian church on Eighteenth street and Avenue I, was nome missions" This work was discussed at length and many suggestions for more efficient work were brought out. At Il o'clock the Rev w. E. Witherspoon of Huntsville preached a strong sermon on "Watchman, What of the Nighe?" The sermon was able and forceful and full of gospel truths. At this session four young men were admitted to the ministry They were examined by the Rev w M. Crawford of Montgom- cry and madc a fine showing. They were E. L. Finch of Montgomery, W. T. Poe of Oak Grove, D. s. Gaston of Gastonberg and Ozy Shelly of Jemison.
 At the afternoon session routine work was taken I'D and many interesting topics discussed.
 Tonight the Rev. W. M. Crawford preached oI 'Tithes." Dr. Crawford spoke of the proper use of money and urged the giving of part of that which God gives tc his people for the benefit of the church. His sermon was an eloquent and powerful appeal to all Christian peo- pie. Thursday morning at Il o'clock the Rev. D. G. 0rman of Jemison will preach. At the 7:30 evening service the Rev. l. D. Steele of Birmingham will occupy the pulpit.
 The meetings are being well attended and many delegates are in attendance. The Rev l.. A. Reagor, pastor of the church, is working hard for the enter tainment Of the visitors. He extends a cordial invita- tion to all the people of Ensley regardless of faith or sect to at tend these meetings.
