Quite a few of our people are at

Talbert Turner attended the Baptist
Association at Charleston Wednes-
day.
Mr.. D. l.. Holcomb and Mr.. W. c.
Curle expect to start cream shipping
about the 18th. inst. For the past
two weeks they have been making
Feed records and tests of their cows
under supervision of the A. & NJ.
College and report satisfactory re-
suits and are convinced that a great
deal of profit can be derived from
this product. Mr.. Holcomb says it
does make a difference in the way a
cow is treated. Others intend to go
into the business as soon as they have
their herds assembled from the
ranges. Holcomb is an ideal ship
ping point, the rate on a ten gallon
can of cream and the return of same
empty from HOlcomb to jackson is
about II cents. and Beat 3 is an
ideal dairy center.
We note with pleasure that the
Board of Supervisors have retained
Miss Anna Belle Hughes as Home
Economic Agent for another year.
Miss Hughes is doing a great work
among the people and she should
have their whole support and coop
Grafton. Several Of our good bache-
Tor friends hereabout are also very
enthusiastic that Miss Hughes is to
remain with us. She is indeed teach
ing US all how we can really live at
home.
Don't forget that 1917 will soon be
here and let US all be w and doing
to make it a good year instead of the
weevil and high water"
