LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Nov. 2.-Sunday
was beautiful day and great many
attended church at New Hope and lis
tened to very forcible sermon by the
preacher in charge, Rev. j. A. Cook.
We are in hopes we will get him again
next year. The conference year is
about to close and we are in hopes
that every one will come up and paw
their assessments for that has a great
deal to do sometimes in getting a
preacher returned.
We have had the first killing frost
of the season and it has killed all veg
citation in these parts. Potato digging
has taken place and it seems the crop
is a very good one, for one fellow said
he was going to send some to Europe
This is joke you see, but is it not
nice to have and make, plenty and
some to spare. We live in a country
where we can make everything we
want to eat, even to rice. So begin
sowing and fixing for next year some
thing that can be eaten and do not
think so much about the cotton. If
cotton was even to go to Id or 15
cents, don't change your notion.
Farmers are all glad to know that
cotton has advanced some in price.

The low price of cotton may cause
