tho Germans since their retreat from
the Marne, and repeated attempts to
dislodge them have been furitless.

Moss Townships Record.

Mr.. Luther Brunson, the registrar
of vital statistics for Moss Town
ship, gave The Advertisers repre-
sentative aome interesting facts con-
cerning conditions from the stand
point of health in Moss township.
Since Mr.. Brunson began reporting
births and deaths about the lst OF
March as provided by recent act
of the Legislature, he has reported
Is births and only three deaths in
the township. One death was that
of very aged person (s5 years).
Another death was negro who
committed suicide and the third was
an infant that only lived several
hours after birth. that rate, or
rather that proportion of births over
death continues for some years Nose
township will not need immigrants
of any kind. In fact it will be about
"a densely populated as China.
These figures show that Moss town
ship is an inviting location for
homeseekers-inviting to all except
doctors and undertakers.

Interesting Letter From Texas.

Editor The Advertiser: l see by
your last weeks issue that you have
had good rain. We could have di
vided with you in April and then
had some to spare, as we were not
able to work but few days after
the first. There was very little cot
ton planted and the most of that
had TO be planted over, so the most
of our cotton was planted after the
first tof May. Everybody is done
planting, corn having been plowed
twice. They are plowing their oldest
cotton and it is growing very fast.
Corn will average about waist high
and is laid by with the plows. There
Is about one-third more corn plant
ed this year than there was last.
Nearly everybody has some wheat
or oats planted and most of it looks
we'll. Some places both the wheat
and oats have the rust pretty bad on
account of so much rain. Some have
started to cnl the oats that was
planted last fall. The spring oats
will do to cut by the last of next
week or the first of the week after.
1t looks like the farmers are going
to begin to live at home again. If
nothing happens they will make
plenty of corn, oats and forage to
run them next year. They have beeh
paying out every year for the last
two or three years here at Brandon
from fifty to seventy-fve thousand
dollars for seed. That is the reason
the low price of cotton hurt them
so badly last year. 1t will be les
son to them and they may not de-
pend on cotton entirely hereafter.
A good shower of rain would be a
great advantage to the growing
crops, and everybody is ready for
it.
Well if nothing, happens to pre-
vent / expect to start for Richmond
