NULETIDE AGAIN.
Toward Men.

The Yuletidc season is with US
again.
1t is with us, but not Of US, for
much Of the earth knows little Of She
joy of today.
Upon many millions Of people the
sun shines as brightly as in days of
old, but its luster is dimmed by the
shielded blood of suffering humaity.
The benign smile Of the Divine One
is as tender and as loving as when the
world was young, but the twentieth
century finds too many of the human
race bent upon pleasure, and profit,
and revenge, and forgetful of the
beauties Of life as seen through eyes
that are better and holier than ours.
1t is with this knowledge that the
people Of our community approach the
Yuletide time, when all should be sun
shine and gladness, and joy. But if
we may not sway the rest of the world,
if our voices are not heard beyond the
confines Of our own fire sides, we yet
may look upward with a feeling of
gladness and thankfulness that the
horrors that are engulfng the rest of
the world have passed us by.
We may be thankful that we have
even an hour of peace and prosperity
for our country, though no one knows
when the whitening hand of the blight
of the century may be spread over
our own fair land.
Let US be joyful today, but let us
mingle that joy with compassion for
the stricken ones of other lanas, to
whom the Yuletide season is but an
agonizing delusion.

He thought that even though man

He thought the Sabbath was made

Reports coming in from farmers in

small grain has been done, Mr.. Frs
land states. Threshing will begin
just as soon as the shocked grain has
had time to dry out and hundreds of
acres of cotton will have had time to
be gone over with a hoe. A great deal
Of corn in the low lands has also be-
come weedy during the rainy period
Much Of this will require paid labor
as the corn has become too large to be
cultivated.
The secretary attempted to tele-
phone to a number of leading farmers
this morning but he found rural tele-
phone wires down. Information he has
received in the past few days indicates
that little damage has yet been done
to shocked grain except on wet land
The loss is reported to be practically
negligible if clear weather comes
soon.
