DUE WEST.

Indications are now, after so long
a delay that we will get to plant a
crop, but don't believe in this lati-
tude that we could possibly make
even half crop. At this writing
in our section so much land that
hasn't had a pillow in it yet, some
are done planting cotton, some have
not planted any and some are plant
ing over and what has been planted
some time is grassy and needing
work very badly.

Monday felt like the planting
season was not past.
The planting has been held back
SO late On account of rain that we
hear many telling of their expert
etlces with late paintings last year.
Esrner Billiard planted some cotton
May 70 and it did not get stand
untd June, and made bale to the
acre. Charlie Wright planted some
IN June, chopped it out in July and
made 1000 pounds seed cotton to
the acre.
I. B. Guffin replanted piece of
cotton in July and made a very
good crop.
A volunteer stalk OF cotton came
up in the woods on H. L. Scott ;
place. 1t had $40 bolls on it and
10 of them opened without any
work at all, SO farmers here need
not get discouraged. Lost Noun
tain dirt is so strong it will make
a crop on very short notice.
The total rainfall here from the
first of January up to date is 27.68
inches.
Miss Kennie Ward closed her
school here April %. Perhaps there

Morris has been very persistent in
trying to break up these violators
of the law and his efforts certainly
meet with the hearty approval OF
the good people of the county. He
makes no compromise with the
whisky sellers and is trying to en-
force the prohibition law. Only
vigliant watching on the part OF
our officials will ever break up this
traffic.
Cobb County has just lately dis
posed of one batch of candidates,
but there is another lot to be waited

life. Being so young and of such
bouyant spirit, life was sweet,
and she said If twas the Lord S

going away, None knew her but
to love, none knew her but to
praise" She had only been married
a little over two years and such a
happy couple this was and it is so
sad for this young husband, but God
knows best. May kind and merci-
full God be mother to the dear lit
tie one, and give the father grace
and wisdom to lead them in the path
and admonition of the Lord.
'By and by our ship shall anchor
If the tide runs fair,
Some day in the port of Heaven,
Where our lost and loved ones are.
By and by, oh, say it softly,
Thinking not of earthly care,
But the by and by of Heaven
Waiting for us over there"

In a letter from Col. A. w. Swanltz to Dr. F. M. Boyle, dat ed at Washington, D. C..

To sum up re- sults, l am quite safe in assuring you that nothing will be done for Alaska in the way of transporta- tion. MT. Fisher would love to buy the Alaska Northern for a song, and have inc government build it on to the Matanuska coal fields, but he stands no more show to get congress to furnish funds for that than the proverbial snowfall has in Hadcs.
