Jonesrilie. Oct. 26.-Several bales
of cotton came in this morning and
were sold at 3-4 cents. Rev. J. A.
Cook told his congregation at Bogans-
vile two weeks ago that he would
take bale of cotton on his salary
from that church at 10 cents and his
congregation got busy and got up the
bale and now the preacher has a bale
for sale and he wants 10 cents for it,
but | guess he will have to warehouse
it. Rev. l.. M. Rice was here this
morning and said that he would take
bale from his congregation here on
his salary at 10 cents. So the preach
ers are. willing to share the hard
times with their members.
The little four-year-old girls. Eta
Evans, of Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Myers,
died at their home here Saturday
night. The sweet little girl suffered
for four weeks with that dreaded dis.
ease dyphtheria and finally the little
light gradually went out on earth to
shine brighter in the kingdom of
Heaven. Little Eta was a sweet lit
tie soul, and was a member of the
Methodist Sunday school and attend
ed regularly before her sickness. The
funeral services were conducted at
the home Sunday evening and the lit
tie white casket containing the re-
mains were borne to the cemetery at
Gilead and there laid to rest benath
a bank of beautiful flowers.
do not blame Gov. Blease for call
ing the extra session of the legisla-
ture but to my mind it was about
S5O,OOO dollars wasted, for | do not
believe their legislation was worth or
will be worth row of pins to our
people. Resolution and legislation do
not make times easy nor ever will.
Time, patience and perseverance, it is
said will accomplish all things and
will at last reveal the secret to sue
cess.
Rev. Lewis NJ. Rice preached a
strong sermon at the Baptist church
yesterday morning and at the close of
the service received four members
into the full fellowship of the church.
Rev. j "A. Cook filled his pulpit last
night and he spoke in no uncertain
sound about people sowing to the
flesh and vice versa to the spirit. Sew
en- members were received into the
church at the close of the service.
The weather has not been very ia
vorable for work on the new Presby-
terian church, but the walls are going
up and the top is being put on. The
NDih VI NciiiSliIiilS OuI SlueWdlkS is
still going on.
Mrs. Lizzie Crawford and grandson
of Union visited many friends in
Jonesville last week. Mrs. Crawford
once lived in Jonesville and she has "a
host of friends in the town and COM
munity.
Miss Zaidee Hicks Of Greenville is
the guest of her sister, Miss Frances
Hicks at Miss Anna Hames'.
The low price of cotton caused by
the great European war is going to
teach the Southern farmers a lesso.!,
one that they should have learned
long ago. 1t is going to cause a revo-
luton in farminp. / hear farmers de-
clare they will not use so much guano
any more; one farmer that uses a
great deal of the stuff says he will
not use a pound of it next year. This
will cut the yield to some extent even
If the acreage is not cut.
Mr.. and Mrs. James McWhirter of
