Jack Frost paid us the first visit
for the first time this fall on Tues
day morning. He did not do much

and for the farmers to hustle and
get things ready for him. And we
notice that they are busy cutting
heir corn now.
The barn belonging to the Rail
road Company where Mr.. John
Burgher lives, burned down last
Monday. 1t is supposed that some
little boys playing in it set it fir
with matches. Mr.. Burgher lost
three sacks of ship stuff and some
hay. 1t was indeed Fortunate that
the wind was blowing away from
the house or it would have been
almost impossible to have saved it.

Now is the time to lay in store
for winter. Put in your coal be-
fore the roads get bad. and hav"
your wood hauled before bad
weather sets in. Nothing makes {.
wife smile and keep in good hum"r
like good dry wood for the cook
stove. Don't wait till snow falls
and then have to get out and hunt
wood; and don't cut up Just enough
for each meal, but have a good lot
of it ready ahead. The writer has
been in scores of homes where there
was no wood cut for breakfast, ard
it was bad rainy morning. The

cut the wood before the good wife
could get the meal. And water
soaked wood is hard to burn some

Big Sandy News. CDR. Morrill,
says the slit skirt shows a cracked
brain and an empty heart. The
feminine of this section are not con-
structed after any such fashion ~
this" We are glad to say that our
women folks here have not lost any
of their queenly manners to Such
debauching fashions. The tide IS
turning. Instead of the men being
the cause of so much immortality in
the world it is the women spread
ing it by leaps and bounds. One
views with shame the dress of some
of the women folks in the city. They
are Turing and tempting the men to
make insulting remarks about them,
and lead them to their downfall.
With the peek boo waist the dia-
phanous skirt slitted immodestly.
the tilmy stockings, the bunny hug,
tango and turkey trottlng, is it no
wonder that writers tell us that
such a wave of crime and i'm
morality is sweeping over the
country now as has never been
heard of in all the history of the
world. Men have been blamed for
this in past years but now this slam
has been lifted from their shoulders
and the women themselves have
assumed it.
The Presbyterian Sunday School
will have their Rally Day this COM
ing Sunday. How about the Chris
tian church having Rally Day at
the same time. Let every body in
Stanton attend Sunday school next

to the Sunday school, to your chill
dren and to the community to be
at your post of duty. There is an
oft quoted saying that would be

was just like me, what kind of
church would my church be" APP
ply this to yourself as church
worker, as Il Sunday.schooi scholar,
as "a christian. Christianity doesn't
consist of being a member of a
church only, but it means being
worker. Are you worker or are
you shirker? Are you doing all
you can to help your church or
Sun day-schoOl, or are you willing
TO let the others do the work.
When you get to heaven If some
of you do) you will regret that you
didn't do more, didn't live more
didn't set a better ex
ample. So let us all rally to our
respective Sunday schools.
