 The cotton in this county is being held for higher prices Since the first few bales were brought in last weeK. praeti- cally. none of the staple has been see" here The worms have gotten beyond the control of the farmers in many instances and the general impression appears to be that the price must go higher

YOUNG LADY DIES
 SITTING IN CHAIR
Girard Schools Open September IL. City Commission Issues Liquor
 License

Girard, September 6.-(Special)-Mis Marie Wolfolk of Fort Mitchell, one of the best known and most highly esteemed visit to Crawford, where she was to teach the coming session. It seems that Miss Wolfolk had been sick, but had so far recovered as to be able to go to the Crawford community, where she has been teaching for some years past, to recuperate. and while at the home of a friend enjoying the association of some young folks who had called she suddenly died sitting in her chair
 First Lieutenant J. w Key, Second Lieutenant R. R. Cain and Sergeant B. B. Baker left for Mobile yesterday, where they will be in training some ten days or two weeks. These are officers of the Twin City Guard, a new company made up of Phoenix and Girard boys They expect to be able to put the new company in fine shape when they return.
 Teachers for the ensuing year in the public schools are beginning to arrive for the opening, September H. Principal R. A. Gamble of the high school has heen on the ground several days. Miss Lillian Upshaw of Atlanta. who will teach in north Girard school, is also here: Miss Oliver of Talladega, Miss Thomas of Car bon Hill Miss Spiegner of Birmingham and Miss Carson of Albertville are ex- pected tomorrow. Miss Haynes of Lewis burg, Tenn, will be here before the close of the week.
 Licenses were granted by the Girard ex- 1t itc fy1r |, e& ernoon to five persons or firms to re- tail liquors, three companies to sell at wholesale. and one company to distill The meeting was pursuant to adjourn ment Saturday, and was for the pur- pose of deciding upon licenses and for prescribing territory in which liquor may not be sold. w. M. Moses, J. B. Clay and Deronda Levy are the commission CTS and Judge R. P. Sommerkamp is sec retary of the commission.
 The decision of the commission as to territory in which liquor may not be sold makes 1t possible for one to cross the river at either of the bridges and not pass by a saloon. This arrangement makes it possible for the ladies and chill dren of the three cities to pass without coming in direct contact with the sa- loon influence, and the commission Is to be praised for this splendid arrangement.
 On the south side of the street at both the upper and lower bridges. there will be no saloon at all, and on the north side none will be reached until after the first street running north and south has been crossed.
 Those granted license for retail bus iness are J. l.. Butler, J. H. Halliday. c. C. Phelts, D. l.. Richards and Porter & Jones. Wholesale houses granted li- cense are Reid-Gordon company. Kauff- man Bros company and Joseph Thomp son Liquor company. The Russell County Distilling company was also granted a license to do general distilling bus mess.
 There can be no more retail dealers, as there are only 5000 people, but other applications for wholesale dealers are under consideration, and 1t is probable that several who applied for retail li- cense and failed may get wholesale li- cense, as this line is not limited by the population of the city.

WHY NOT CoLFAx

Strange, while Okoboji and Mime
tonl<a and even many out of the way
places are putting in a claim for the
summer capital that Colfax is silent.
1t has justified claims and great ad-
vantages to urge. To be sure the presi-
dent is not the whole thing in summer
capital choosing. 1t is not a presiden-
tiol appointment but a congressional
affair. but if Taft is to be renominate !
and reelected next year Colfax is the
place for the summer capital.

health resort. The men who are spend

fax and Its efforts are one of Iowa's
semi-public enterprises which should
receive honorable mention by Iowa

SPEAKING Of MEMORIAL DAY.

After the day Is over is the time for
retrespection. Most things we do are
best analysed after the fact. Our hind
sight is better than our foresight.
Day before yesterday some OF us
played golf, some played ball. some
attended races, some picknicked, some
autoed on long trips, some danced,
some drove and some attended and
took part in memorial exercises. Most
Of US dropped a blossom on a grave or
thought Of green mounds in a distant
cemetery.
It IL a memorial day, one day in
che long year given over to renem-
brance Of the dead. Tho 1t began as
q tribute to soldiers, 1t has Of its own
fitness and applicability broadened to
cover all the dead and its tender Sig
nificance blooms over every grave
In Its truest sense and best beauty
Memorial Day Is not a feast but a fast
day, not a celebration but as it's title
indicates, a memorial. Not time for
outcry and acclaim but for quietude
and recollection. Those who are dead
live again In memory. They keep us
company. The houses wherein they
have lived and died are haunted houses !:
thru the open doors their phantoms
glide with feet that make no sound
upon the floors"
Are our general manners and Gus
toms Of the day in keeping with its
spirit? Are we holding a memorial
or celebrating q boisterous holiday
think of it's meaning and let thought
suggest change
