DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES

Following long custom in The Fal-
con Office there will be no paper issued
next week. 1t has long been the custom
here to omit one issue about the Christ
mas season and we are making it the
last week of the year this time. This
is done to give the Office force an op.
portunity to enjoy the holiday season,
the only one they have thruout the
year. For fifty one weeks the paper
has made its weekly visits without a
missing week and we feel that the
weeks rest is deserved. We may not
have done every thing you thought we
should have done as a public organ,
and we may have done things you did
not endorse, this difference Of opinion
is but human nature, we have done
what we felt right and best and ii we
have erred we have an indulgent public
who have themselves erred and can and
will sympathise with US in such posi-
tons. We have shortcomings as well
as others have. and we are bearing the
burdens of others as others help US to
bear ours. We are hoping for every
reader of The Falcon a most joyous
Christmas and happy New Year. 1t
viii be January z, 1916, when the next
weekly visit this paper will make you
and it is hoped that the transition from
this to another year may be fruitful Of
forgivness to each other and the re-
generation of the spirit of good viii
and friendship and brotherly love among
us. That next year may be the best,
the brightest, the happiest and most
prosperous this section and this people
have seen is our most cordial wish.

One Of the finest specimens of esteem
and consideration we have seen was
noted Tuesday when a letter was re-
ceived by the Commercial Appeal con-
tanning 81 for Eugene Watson, a former
Memphian who is in the last stages of
tuberculosis in Colorado. The letter
came from his old negro mammie, and
had the following sentence: This is
from his old colored nurse and servant
of the family for many year-Lizzie
Lewis, She is now old and in feeble
health, but she cannot see her boy
suffer without trying in her small way
TO help. May God bless him." There
is 40 human sentiment more sublime
than the simple words of this old time
negro, carry and they will warm the
heart of this suffering man in strange
land.

THE EFFECT OF THE WAR ON THE
PRICE OF COTTON.

There is now much speculation as t.
what trade conditions would be in this
country should the European war come
to an early close, Some think times
would be much better, while others
look for a great depression, as all war
orders would cease and the whole chan
mel of trade would have to undergo q
change. They argue with good reason,
that the depleted condition of the war
ring nations, together with the excessive
war taxes which will burden them for a
generation, precludes any great pur-
chasing power or sign of good times"
Among the farmers are many who
think if the war were to stop cotton
would go way up. We do not agree
with them. AS we see it, there is moth
ing to warrant spreading.out policy.
It is a time for prudence and conserva-
tism. No man can say what a year
will bring forth. Our advice to all
cotton farmers is to 90 slow-do not
undertake any heavy risk next year,
do not go heavily in debt, prepare to
grow your home supplies and then a
little cotton. We prefer to grow ten
bales Of cotton at profit, rather than
one hundred bales at loss. If the war
closes and cotton goes up-all well and
good-we can then afford to grow it for
the consumers at a certainty of good
prices. Eek.

The arrest of negro in the court
house Wednesday selling liquor suggests
the need in this city of vagrant law.
This negro and numerous others are
loafers about town and are never known
to do an honest days work or to earn
an honest penny. They live and wear
pretty good clothes, and this is evidence
that they get funds in some illegitimate
way. The number of such negroes is
not large and they should be given SC
many hours to go to work or get out OF
town. They are positive menace to
any community.

County Court Meets Janu.
airy 4.

The county court will meet at the
court house in this city on January 4 in
regular quarterly session and has some
important matters to look after.
Among these is the election of county
health officer to succeed DIR. A. O..
Boals who has served in that office for
several years. According to rumor he
will be opposed in his candidacy for re-
election by DR. ]. A. Albright of this
city and probably by one or two others,
tho we have no confirmation of these
rumors. DR.. Boals is candidate and
has so stated to The Falcon. The selec-
ton of the road committee who look
after the public roads for next year
will take place and one of the most i'm
portant duties the court ever has. The
workhouse board will be elected, and
payment made for road work for the
present year. So far ss The Falcon
has been able to learn there il nothing
cut of the ordinary for January meetings
scheduled for the one Of January 4.
Miss Sarah L. Kinssy has announced
that she will be here and will ask the
court for an appropriation for the pur-
pose of establishing canning clubs in
this county and employing lady agent
to look after the club work. The court
last year Sas in session for two days at
its January term. but no forecast can be
made yet as to such probability this
year.

When Mrs. Mathis addressed the
people of this county during the better
farming campaign recently she told Of
the organization of canning club work
al Gadsden, Alabama, and of the won.
derful results. We wish we had her
story word for word to give our readers.
But she borrowed $4OO from Gadsden
banks and she and other ladies endorsed
the note. This money was furnished to
club girls in poor families to buy seed,
fertilizer, cans and Gamers, and was
to be paid back from the sale of canned
fruit and vegetables. When the season
closed the surplus canned goods was
brought in and sold and the club MEM
bers received, after paying their debt,
more than four thousand dollars, $50 to
$500 going to these girls, many of
whom never had one dollar to call her
own before. Was not that a good in
vestment for that city and county, if
the work had been dropped right then
even? But that was only starter and
the clubs have grown larger and more
profitable there and are enabling many
girls to earn their own money in an
honorble and independent way. How
many girls are there in Fayette county
who would like to join the canning club
and have an opportunity to earn money
in the same way? Members of the
county court would do well to think of
this before the January meeting on the
fourth when they will be asked for an
appropriation to help pay a canning
club agent.

A Boys Essay on the Editor

LAKE COUNTY NEWS: / don't
know how newspapers come to be in
the world and | don't think God knows,
for He amt had nothing to say about
them in the Bible. think the editor
is the missing link we read about and
stayed in the bushes until the flood, and
then ceme out and wrote the thing up
and has been here ever since. ] don't
think he ever died. / never saw dead
one or ever heard of one being licked
Our paper is mighty good one, but
the editor goes without underclothes
all winter and don't wear any socks and
pa amt paid his subscription since the
paper started. | asked pa if that was
why the editor had to suck the juice
out of snowballs in the winter time and
go to bed in the summer time when be
had his shirt washed.
Then pa got mad and took me out to
the woodshed and licked me awfully
hard. If the. editor makes mistakes
folks say he ought to be hanged, but If
the doctor makes a mistake he buries
them and people don't say anything be-
cause he can read and write Latin.
When the editor makes mistakes there
is lawsuits and swearing and a big fuss,
but if the doctor makes one there is a
funeral, cut flowers and perfect silence.
A doctor can use word a yard long
without him or any one knowing what
it means, but if the editor uses one he
has to spell it. If the doctor goes to
see another mans wife he charges the
man for visit, but il the editor should
go he gets load of buckshot.

Banks in different parts Of the Mem
phis territory are organizing to give help
to farmers in buying thorobred cattle,
hogs etc. and to aid club boys and girls
to buy pigs, poultry and canning out
fits, etc. Would not such an organiza-
ton of the eight banks of Fayette
county rebound to their own profit as
we'll as profit to the county and indi-
viduals so favored? We believe it
would. The greatest obstacle in the
south to furthering rapidly the diversi-
fed farming is the lack of a market for
other crops than cotton. There few
grain elevators or buyers of grain, hay,
hogs, vegetables or any other crop but
cotton in the south and it is not I'M
common for farmers in most southern
towns to bring in dressed hog, a load
of hay. corn or oats, coop of chickens
or other produce he has raised, and
have to sell it for less than cost of pro-
duction or carry it back home, altho
the world outside wants 1t and is willing
to pay fair price for it. 1t is the

remedy this condition by the organiza-
ton of firms for handling these articles.

The need of a better marketing sys-
tenn was plain here last week when
dressed hogs brought to this city by
farmers were sold in some cases as low
as seven cents per pound rather than
that they be carried back home. Dur
ing the cold days of last week many
hogs in this vicinity were slaughtered
and SO many we're offered for sale that
the local demand was more than met,
there being no buyers for shipping the
price slumped 80 per cent, altho the
general hog markets were strong and
demand good. If towns are to prosper
they must furnish a market for what
the farmers in the trade territory have
to sell, Somerville needs a produce

HOW THEY LOVE IT!
Success of Baseball Movies Show Pub
lies Interest in the Game.

One of the strongest evidences of
hold on the American public is the
fact that the moving picture theaters
have found baseball pictures to be
favorites with their audiences. In
fact. the movies" are going a step
they do with most of them, and are
adding interest by having lectures de-
livered while the pictures are being
shown.
The idea originated when the fac
ulty of ST. Louis university requested
Ted Sullivan to give a baseball lee
Der of a winter entertainment course.
Mr.. Sullivan consented, and also ar
ranged a series of moving picture
slides to accompany his talk
The lecture made such a hit, and
there was so much interest shown
that the movie men saw a new OPP
portunity to give the public just what
it wants and arrangements We're made
with Mr.. Sullivan to take a film pro-
duction on the road. The films chos-
en- for this We're those taken during
the worlds tour of the Giants and
White SoX.
With his vast knowledge of baseball
lore and his great enthusiasm for the
great American game, Mr.. Sullivan
has continued to make a hit wherever
he has appeared, and there is no
doubt but that he will draw heavily
from the Topeka baseball fans when
he appears at the Hip on March Is,

Big STOCK MEETINGS.
Southwestern Cattle Raisers Hold Two
Important Conventions This Week.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 1.-Two
meetings of importance to the I'VE
stock industry of the entire southwest
including Kansas in particular, Will be
in session for a week. The first is the
convention of the Panhandle and
Southwestern Stockmen's association
at Ell Paso which will be in session
today and tomorrow. The second is
the meeting of the Texas Cattle
Raisers' association at San Antonio
March 8. 10. IL.
About twenty delegates have gone
from here to Ell Paso and four or five
more will leave in time for the San
Antonio meet. At both conventions
deals of immense size for the feeding
and grazing of stock in the southern
Kansas pasture districts will be con-
Guided.
In view of the foot and mouth sit
uation both conventions will probably
take some sort of action. There are
hints in the wind that point toward
national quarantine prohibiting the
movement of any stock. Another is
for a complete quarantine for 80 days.
Secretary Houston, it is understood,
will be at the San Antonio meet and it
is thought will answer there attacks
which have been made on the depart
ment of agriculture allowing the pub
location of live stock estimates in jan
