Miss Mae Albritton. of Jackson,

We still have prayer meeting ON
Tuesday night. and Sunday school
every Sunday afternoon at Mt.

cold and disagreeable weather,

hope the weather will be better and
every one that can will come and
help Us In this good work.
Mr.. Fred Hart, Of Lexie. Miss /.

We think the good people Of
Nuftield have decided to keep very
warm and comfortable this winter,
judging from the amount of wood
the farmers of this community
have hauled and are still hauling
for them. / suspect there has been
twice the amount hauled up to the
present that has ever been hauled
there in one winter.
Say, it is an III wind that blows
nobody any good So let us believe
and trust that everything that is,
is for the best and that all the cold.
disagreeable weather that has been
this winter will be sufficient to kill
all the boil weevils and hook worm
germs in the South and that this
beautiful southland of ours will be-
more prosperous and we will all be
happier during the year 1912 than
we have ever been before.
