KELTON

Kelton, Oct. 30.-We are having
fine weather and think the farmers
are making good use of it. We have
not had killing frost yet and the
top cotton crop will add little more
for the farmers.
/ attended the State Fair last week
and the exhibits were good In some
lines 1 have seen better. The girls
canning clubs exhibits were not as
large as last year. The farming i'm
plements and the machinery were ex-
cellent.
stopped with man who married
Ia North Carolina lady and her mother
was at her home. She remembered
and talked freely of the times before
the Civil war. She said that she had
one uncle who owned many slaves and
had over 50-mule farm. He had
several sons and daughters. Educated
them and they all had to work. Never
owned a buggy, but all the girls had
their riding horses and when they
all wanted to go to big gathering
girls and boys all went in a wagon.
He had six negro women that did
nothing but weave and when the girls
got through school they would weave
or do some other kind of work. And
that her uncle never bought a suit
of clothes until after his wife died.
He got suit to get married in when
he married the second time. There
was no real fine dressing in his home.
How different it is with us all now.
One and two suits year and the la
dies have from two to six hats a
year and the poor have to have two
year and many of them on a credit
and their little ones from the time
they can walk and sometimes before
must have shoes and stockings and
holders in the summer time and all
on time. We wonder we cry hard
times. If we had more brains and
would use them right we would hear
less abusing of merchants and others.
The most of the hard times are trace
able to our own doors.
| The fourth quarterly meeting of
the Kelton circuit convened at Foster
Chapel the 28th inst. The financial
report was not very good. I was
hunting money for the preacher and
went to one members home and his
wife told me she did not think thew
would make over a bale of cotton and
they lost nearly all their corn by the
freshet, so / never mentioned money!
and l never will in such a case and
II the preachers want one to collect
from such members they will have to
get someone else and the man was

walking one and one-half miles to
work in cotton mill to get money

little children, while she was picking
the cotton. And the other SUNDAY

what she had subscribed. Prosperity

1t seems that there has been an
other fake to rob the farmers out of
their Just rights, Sc says the Char.

TR|XY IS NEWEST PET
OF KEEPERS At ZOO
Arkansas Black Wolf Recognizes
Former Master, Who Visits
Her After Five Months.

Keepers at the National Geological
Park have new pet. an Arkansas
black wolf, that is as docile and play
ful as any domestic pup.
The animal Is a great favorite with
visitors because OF its friendliness
and has won unusual interest from
the biologists because of an unmis-
taxable displaying of lasting affec-
tion and memory for a former master.
The animal was captured when two
weeks old by Ralph-C. Huey, super
visor of the Arkansas National Forest.
He took II to his home, where ii was
named Trixy. At first shy, the little
animal was trained as domestic pet
and raised In the family. She was
taught canine tricks and canine dis
cipline.
Last September. however. when
Trixy was nearing maturity. Mr.. Huoy
decided not to keep her as a pet
about the house any longer, for fear of
an outcropping of family traits and
he sent her to the National Zoo.
week ago Mr.. Huey came to Wash
ington to attend the conference of
pational forest supervisors Sunday
he determined to go TO the Zoo to see
Trixy.
He was greeted noisily. Trixy spied
him from afar, and let out Nelps that
started the whole pack. AS Mr.. Huey
went into the cage TriXy leaped upon
him with loud yelps OF JOY, the scene
attracting many sunday visitors.
Trixy was disconsolate when Ne left
Visitors to the park were curious
and Mr.. Huey told them. that though
Gagged. Trixy was as tame as could
be. and that he had not seen the ami
