year out, there must be lean year and
a fat one, and besides He in His Infinite
Wisdom doeth all things well. 1t is
true that our crops are sadly diminish
ed, but what assistance will it be to us
to lament over that, the matter cannot
be remedied, and most surely there will
be no suffering in this land of plenty;
there is never a year but that some
necessity of life is exceedingly high and
we are compelled to use lightly, and in
somelinstances forego altogether, the
use of this particular commodity, but
there is always substitute ready to
the hand, and we are enabled to wait
for another crop to reduce its cost.
Such is the case in the present instance,
corn crop short and meal abnormally
high in consequence, but there is the
consolation of the best wheat crop the
world has ever known and consequently
flour is cheaper, and there are very few
but prefer white bread to 'hoe cake;
purchase your winter supply of flour
now and thus guard against the pos
sibility of flour going higher. This is
but an example of the many ways in
which you may avoid your hardships,
many of which are but the fruits of
your own imagination. Quit your
lamenting, go to your work with zest,
and remember always that 1.-The Lord

Many of our people are inclined to
grumble at what they choose to call
their bad luck" at the partial failure
of our crops due to the continued
drought. Much better for them would
they make the best of bad bargain,
look upon the bright side of the picture,
and instead of wailing over what can
not be remedied, begin making their
plans for the coming crop next year and
endeavor to draw consolation from the
probability of more favorable conditions
and an abundance of everything next
year which will more than make up for
the losses of this season.
Before beginning to wall our present
conditions, we should remember that
we have been wonderfully blessed in
the matter of our productions in the
past few years, and we cannot reason
ably expect excellent crops year in and

Brilliant Prospects BIighted By Drought.

The early spring of the present year
gave brilliant promise of the best
fruit crop raised in Garrard county in
many years, but alas for the loft laid
plans of mice and men,, the drought
came and materially reduced, if not
wholly destroyed these prospects. The
fruit escaped its arch enemy the frost,
only to encounter more deadly one in
the drought. Peach trees laden with
bloom and young fruit gave promise of
bumper crop, but the dry weather
caused it to shrivel and fail to mature,
and trees were loaded down with small,
faulty insipid fruit, that gave such
fiattering promise of being of the best
quality. Apples are but little better,
and the dry weather has precluded
the possibility of making cider because
of a lack of juice in the fruit. Even
the poor mans friend, the blackberry
crop, which promised to be so large
was cut fully so per cent; grapes too
suffered and the yield while large was
inferior in quality. Not alone the
fruit but vegetation felt severely the
force of the drought, and the good
housewife will experience dearth of
canned corn, canned tomatoes and 9TH
er such things which are won't to grace
the table during the winter season.
Beans too will be scarce and high, and
the problem of securing something to
eat" which is no small matter with
the housewife, will be even more knot
ty this winter than is usually the
custom.

Sanders--Perkins.

Mr.. Pool Perkins and Miss Stella
Sanders quietly boarded the train last
Thursday morning, September 11th.
for Jacksonville Ind. and upon their
arrival at that Gretna Green were
united in marriage by Squire Hay.
They left at once for an extended
bridal tour and will visit points of in
terest in Michigan, thence to Canada,
Niagara Falls and New York before
their return to Lancaster.
The marriage of this popular young
couple is the consummation of sever
al years courtship; the marriage was
not an elopement, there being no OPP
position upon the part of anyone, they
rather choosing to follow a custom
that seems to prevail in Lancaster of
late, to be as mysterious as possible
as to just when and where the nuptial
knot will be tied. The bride is one of
Lancaster's most beautiful and ac-
complished girls. the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. F Sanders and a popular
member of the Younger set. The
groom is substantial young farmer,
the son of Mrs. Emma Daniels, and is
a highly respected and popular young
man. We do not know the plans of
the young people, or just when they
will return, and we think they are act
ing very wise in keeping the latter a
close secret, else they might be the
recipients of welcome more forcible
than elegant.
The Record joins the numerous
friends of these happy young people in
wishing long and happy life of pros
perity.

R. D. Campbell former Resident O
Lowell Died AT Hotel Glyndon
Evidently Suicide.

Mr.. R. D. Campbell, former resi-
dent Of Lowell, well known in Lancas-
ter and brother of Mrs. Milford Lee
of this place died at the Hotel Glyndon
Monday night, and the circumstances
surrounding his death indicate that he
committed suicide, as several empty
bottles that had contained chloroform
and carbolic acid were found in the
room.
Mr.. Campbell was a gentleman of
considerable literary attainment and
at one time was a brilliant and sue
cessful business man, but ill health
forced him to the use of drugs which
finally accomplished his downfall.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mrs.
Lee in the death OF her brother, to
whom she was very much devoted.

TALK PAVING
AT LUNCHEON
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL
CONSIDER UNIVERSITY PAVING
TOMORROW.
Members VIII Also Discuss Adyisabilty
OF the Establishment Of By-PrOduct
Plant in Moscow.

AT the noon luncheon of the chamber
of commerce tomorrow several impor-
tant matters will come up for discus
SION One will be the matter of ex-
tending the pavement which is expect
ed to be laid to the university next
summer to the county road west of the
campus. There has been considerable
talk of this extension and a general
discussion of the proposed plan will
be opened to the chamber tomorrow.
Another matter which will receive
attention at tomorrows luncheon will
be discussion of the advisability of
establishing by-products plant in
Moscow for the purpose of caring for
surplus fruits and vegetables from the
gardens and orchards of ylis vicinity.
The establishment of such a plant has
been strongly advocated by members
of the chamber for some time and
steps were taken last spring to inves-
tigate the advisability of such an en-
terprise The matter will be further
discussed at tomorrow's luncheon and
it is thought that some definite action
may be taken at that time.
