1915 Potato Shipment Sur
passes Expectations.

At a meeting of the Franklin
ton Truck Growers Association
Saturday there were 125 present,
showing the growing interest in
this work. D. E. Branch, as
President of the Association,
made contract with Starns and
Broderick, representing a Chica-
go firm, for the sale of 25 loads
of potatoes at $1.00 per bushel
F. 0. B. Franklinton, and the po-
tatoes are being shipped out as
rapidly as the cany be loaded
this week.
Notwithstanding the unusually
bad season, the crop having been
practically made without rain,
the yield at last proved sufficient
to cover all expense and was
harvested at a small profit.
With our usual season the farm
ers would have gained more than
100 per cent on the crop, so as
such a season as this just passed
comes to us only about one year
out of ten, the truckers are en-.
couraged and are saving all
small potatoes to plant a larger
average than ever in August for
the fall trade.
Mr.. jackson of Chicago, a
member of the firm Of Welter &
Co., stopped over here Tuesday

In Memory of CharIeen
Knight, Beloved Daugh
ter of Our Worthy Matron
Zona Chapter No. 90, Or
der Eastern Star.

Whereas it has pleased Almighty
God to take the little flower of
love. a youthful bud Of joy from
the fireside, the sunshine Of home
from father and mother, yet we
must bow in submission to Gods
plan and lean upon the faith that
he has planted in the human soul.
If His will leaves US in sorrow at
the loss of loved ones we should
be comfOrted with the thought
that the influence of her life has
left a beautiful impress upon our
own. Father and mother could
walk with her only to the thres-
hold Of eternity and there she
took up the journey not alone
but with God.
With saddened hearts they re.
turned to their des0late home
and in profound silence gathered
up the little sunheams that Char
lean had scattered and WOve
them into Wreaths Of thin colder
memories.
Her little life was as sweet as tn,
flowers along life's pathway anc
as they spriug up and bloom
again each year, even so shall
little Charleen in the bright morn
ing Of the worlds resurrection
bloom in immortal beauty il
Heaven, with her little arms un
folded watching and becoming
father and mother with swee
eloquence to turn their thoughts
and hands to the service of Coz
aud come. Until then. dea
