JONESVILLE

Jonesville, Feb. 1.-The wind blew
stiff and cold gale from the north
Sunday up to bed time, but Monday
morning it was blowing soft and hot
from the southwest, which soon
brought the usual downpour of rain.
There is report about Jonesville
that the Southern Railway is going
to run their train through from
Lockhart to Jonesvile.
The streets and roads are getting
much better, Monday morning one
automobile came in from the country
last week, the only one l have seen
moving for several days. The motor
cycles and horsepower vehicles have
hard time to get about.
Our cotton weighed up about 100
bales last week, the price being for
the best cents.
Some of the curious say today is
ground hog day, but l never could
see any thing in it. I don't suppose
there is ground hog in the country
about the weather.
Mrs. j. II. Templeton and her
father, Mr.. j. H. Nelson of Fountain

Miss Pearl Foster of Newman, Ga,

here, left this morning for Durham,
n. c., to visit sister and brothS.
in that town.
Mrs. Sallie Lindsey left this morn
ing for Marion, N. c., to visit her
daughter, Mrs. Hugh Little.
Our people are discussing the good
roads problem just now, which is no
wonder for the roads are in bad con-
dition, but they will always be bad
in the winter time when we have so
much rain as we have had this win
ter. The roads were almost as good
as plank roads last summer and fall,
no trouble to get about then, and they
will be in good condition again in the
spring when the rains hold up and
the winds blow. No amount of mon
ey can keep all our roads in gooo
condition such winters as we have
had.
Mr.. Louis Hames of Lockhart was
in our town yesterday.

OAKLAND

Oakland, Feb. Every little is to
be said in connection with the present
condition of affairs that now con
fronts the farmers in making prep
rations for planting the new 1915
crop, which is unquestionably must
begin at an early date. Every year
in February the farmers are begin
Mig to place their orders for guano
and some even get it hauled home
in this month, so that when the pret-
ty spring days come they can start
putting it in the ground, but now this
fertilizer proposition is receiving
very little attention and occupies but
very small space in the minds of
some farmers. Now is the time to,
every farmer to set apart a large
acreage to be planted in corn and
if this is attended to now l am sure
the all-talked-of cotton will not hold
such a permanent part considering
the amount of land that already is
growing some grain crop. The ad-
vancing prices on most all eatables
and especially flour, is enough to
make farmer or any professional
man stop and think for while just
what the future is sure to bring, if
there isn't more food stuff raised on
the farm. Just as long as our food
supply continues to be shipped to the
warning nations who are giving very
little attention to agriculture, just
so long will prices advance here So
every farmer should take this into
consideration when he begins plant
ing another crop and see that every
hat hN Ie-
and it will not be a bad idea to have
surplus to be placed on the market
| do not believe the people, as
whole, would get mad with the com
missioners if they would put forth
an effort to have the culverts re,
paired that crosses the public roads
Some of them are in very bad con-
dition, which is very dangerous for
the travelling public to drive over.
If | give the neighborhood Justice
I am sure I can't boost it up as far
as health is concerned, for at this
writing, we have several cases OF
sickness around Oakland, though not
serious. Perhaps it is due to the
continuance of the untavorable
weather.
For the benefit of the library, =
box supper will be given at Oakland
school on Friday, February 18th.
Instead of the customary program
ten of the pupils have challenged ten
other scholars, (non-attendants OF
Oakland) to an old fashioned spelling
match, the words to be chosen from
Progressive Speller for first choice
and Paynes common words COM
monty misspelled for second choice
Also to ciphering match in rapid cal
culations in rules, addition, subtrac-
ton, multiplication and division
Those wishing to accept the challenge
will please notify the teacher, Mrs.
l.. O. Belue, as the first ten appli-
cations will be accepted. Girls will
bring boxes and the boys are urgeo
to bring their pocket books, not
empty though.
The next Baptist Sunday School
convention will be held with Duck
Pond church on May Both, that being
the fifth Sunday.

MERELY COMMENT

1.-THE council has been running
wild of late. Daily News.
Gee whiz, council must have done
something without getting Vic Law
sons permission or orders.
Chicago is coming to pretty pass
when oficeholders forget to be boss
ed by the News.
The two things that gat Vic's
nanny were the Kennedy resolutions
to forfeit the Automatic and to bar
strikebreaking thugs from Chicago.
George Reynolds ought to take
Craig of the contractors into the
back room of the bank and spank
him where he sits down.
That threat of what the bankers
were going to do to tie up building
operations was very undiplomatic, to
say nothing of being damphoolish.
Craig was showing somebody's
hand when everybody was looking.

A handy gun, placed in his pocket

SPOILS PLANS OF
MANAGER WORKS
GOVERNOR HAMMOND'S DECLI-
NATION OF NATIONAL HON.
ORS SPILLS THE BEANS"
HAS NO use FOR SPOTLIGHT
STATE EXECUTIVE A CONTIN-
UAL~ DISAPPOINTMENT TO 49,
PARTY PUBLICITY MEN

St. Paul, Sept. 20.-"Spilling the
beans" in political life is an unpar-
donable offense, and this is just what
Governor Winfield Scott Hammond
has gone and done. After much burn
ing of the midnight oil and cudgeling
of brains on the part of his managers
figuring out line of official dope that
would keep the political scribes busy,
his excellency now knocks it ali
into a cooked hat by declaring
that the best he can see in the way of
a future is to file for his present job.
And he is not overly confident about
that, but he hopes there will be no
trouble. In a previous letter I noted
the kind mention of the governors
name as running mate for President
Wilson and on prior occasions his
known desire to return to national
life in the person of a United States
senator. He was even quoted as say
ing that if the opportunity offered
itself he would get into the senatorial
game. This senatorial talk ran the
rounds and was productive of much
good stuff in press way. Now the
governor filings it all in the air ano
the gossips, hunting for goat, have
pitched on Insurance Commissioner
S. D. Works, the guiding genius of the
St. James man in the campaign that
put him over. Theye are insinuatine
too, that Mr.. Works wants the gov
ernor out of the way so that he may
be free to go after the big prize. If
there is one thing that Governor Ham
mond lacks it is good managerial ma
terial. The late Governor Johnson
was ideal in this respect, and so was
former Governor Eberhart, and com
pared with the two his excellency is
so much of a disappointment that the
Democratic managerial force is often
at its wits end to find use for the
spotlight. Daily four prominent city
papers dance attendance upon his
slightest word, but that word is sell
dom forthcoming. Mr.. Works will
not admit that the national game is
beyond his excellency's grasp or that
his excellency would not like to take
fling at it. 1t looks good to him.
State fair week was expected to
bring out into the open several candi-
dates who have their eye on Senator
Clapp's Washington job, but for some
unknown reason they did not leave
their hiding places. One of these
was Frank B. Kellogg, the well known
st. Paul attorney, and another was
Judge Oscar Hallam of the Supreme
court. The latter, if he intends to
get into the game will have to toss
aside the woolsack that is now bring
ing him $1,000 every year, but so fan
he has not seen fit to be so prodigal.
