Weekly Weather and Crop Summary.

For the week ending at IL Noon,
Wednesday, September /, 1915.
The weather during the past week
has been too cool, cloudy and wet for
the proper development of cotton,
which shows general deterioration, al
though in some localities the crop is
reported as growing and fruiting we'll
The area of rust has increased consid-
erably, and bolls are opening prema-
turely in many sections. Picking has
become more general. The tobacco
crop Is short; picking and curing con-
tinue. Late corn. field truck, sor-
ghum cane and forage crops have ma
terially improved; forage peas are es-
pecially fine under generous rains. Fall
truck preparations continue.

If you want the street on which you
live paved vote for the bond issue and
then petition council to pave it, But
remember that even though you vote
for the bond issue council cannot or
der your street paved unless q major
ity of the property owners petition
that 1t be paved. Voting for the bond
issue does not obligate you to have
you street paved-the bond issue
merely enables council to pave streets
where property owners want paving
and are willing to pay a special tax to
pay for 1t. Because you do not want
your street paved and are unwilling to
pay a special tax for that purpose is
no reason for standing in the way of
other streets being paved If you
vote against the bond issue you pre-
vent those who want paved streets and
are willing to pay for them, from OBJ
tanning them. A vote against the
bond issue does not help YOU but does
injure the city and blocks progress ON
the part Of those who are ready to
pay for permanent street improve
ments.

The assembled party really was one
OF the most pleasant and enjoyable
that it was my good fortune to attend.
The sons and their respective wives
made themselves busy in preparing
one OF the most appetizing repasts
one could have wished for, consisting
OF a great abundance Of the Chicken
stew" which is SO favorably known as
Mckagen chicken stew" and which
has become SO famous in this section.
and the side dishes in abundance
were very heartily enjoyed by the en-
tire party.
The children after the first sitting
then came in for their portion of the
kind attention of the hostess, and you
could frequently hear the expressions
from the little ones, that it seemed to
be really Christmas time, all except
the toys which Germany, now at war,
forbids us to use. After the repast
was over the little ones engaged in
song and dance and the elder ones
talked over many "reminiscences of
the long past.
1t is so pleasant to linger upon by
gone days and many an incident was
related. which brought wildly tC
mind the early days OF the mother
who then celebrated her 10th birth
| day, with all her children and grand
children around her, happily married
and all doing we'll in life.

"These are facts which cannot b.
disputed.
IF the South will take advantage
this opportunity, by Withholding he
cotton from the market in Septembe

1t goes below that price and obliga

it goes back to u cents. We can pa
our Indebtedness with 10 cents an
carry over whatever surplus there j.
for the big prices sure to come with

average price of the present crop ca
be made to indemnify us in SOM

Il find it very difficult to make peo-
pie away from here believe that l.

engaged in its actual production know
