]. A. How and family are visiting in
Twin Mound neighuorhood this week.
hope IL is not wrong to wish, for il
u universal. Want IL to turn warm,
melt the snow, dry up the roads, let
the threshers start. get our katiir and
sorghum seed ready for market, so we
can pay up to our wishing creditors,
who have so patiently waited on us
God bless our merchants for the mercy
they have shown us. One OF the causes
of our distressing condition is, as soon
as we sold our broom corn, we hurried
to the first man we met and paid as
far as our dollars and cents would go,
expecting to thresh and finish paying
! ont OF kaffir. The storm came on and
we had to burn our kafiir or freeze and
you may guess what man with a wife
and little children would do in case
Of that kind.
Some Of our neighbors were so intent
on eating their 1911 Christmas dinner
in their new house they put of heading
kafiir and it is ungathered yet in many

pect teacher to teach six months

As cool water is to thirsty soul SC

men do not love all mankind but there

his physician in the home darkened by
illness when the skeleton Of Death be
gins to darken our chamber and point,
his icy finger at us. Then, oh then
for our physician to come to our rescu,
and stay the monster. What can b,
more pleasing and pleasant to behold
than our doctor.
A great gloom passed over our vicih

he was soon to make Speermore hi

prayed that the hand of Fate might b,
stayed and Divine Providence would

POSTAL SAVINGS BONDS.
A Market to Be Made for the Govern
ment 2I2 Per Cents.


Announcement is made by the post
Office department that on January /.
l9f2. postal savings bank depositors
may exchange their savings Tor United
States bonds. The Instructions go
into more or less detail as to how they
may turn their deposits into United
States bonds paying 2la per cent. in
terest a year or half of l per cent
| more than the ordinary postal deposit
| interest Every deposition in the pos
tai savings bank in any postofiee
where depositaries have been opened
may exchange the whole or a part of
his deposits for bonds. which will be
registered or of the coupon variety as
the depositor wishes. and which viii be
issued in denominations of $50. S1n0
and $500. The ~ per cent. interest
is payable one-h half every six months.
1t is further prescribed that applica-
| tons for such conversion of deposits
into bonds must be received on or be
fore December Il. 1911, at the de-
positary where the certificates were is
sued. Postal savings deposits con-
INerted into bonds are not counted as Il
part of the maximum of $500 allowed
one debositor; and there is no limit to
the amount of available postal savings
bonds that may oe acquired by a de-
positor The bonds will be issued
only to postal savings depositors. but
they may be sold or assigned to any
one.
This is only q final carrying out-or
the beginning of it--of the program of
bond tlotati0n exploited to some extent
during the consideration of the bill by
the G1st Congress in it's long session
| of I909-l0 a market is no~ being
made for the government 2l2's.
The outcome win be Of more than
ordinary interest in government fl
nancing. How many thrifty people
who save their surplus cash and in
vest it will look longingly on United
States 21a per cent. bond placed be-
side a savings bank account yielding
l3i&. 4 or AZ per cent annual interest?
The scheme opens the way, to be sure.
| for practically raising the maximum
| of $500 ON postoffice bank deposits.
But how many Of the present small
army of such depositors will under
stand that? And hcw many will see
anything in it,? The general public
yearning to get hold of government
2h's will now have an opportunity to
| buy them of postal savings bank hold
ers. But will they be found to do
