The last quarterly meeting of the
Brownsville circuit was held at the
Methodist church here Wednesday af-
ternoon. The meeting was presided
over by Presiding Elder Johnston. The
reports from the various churches
were good and financial obligations
will be met in full. The membership
showed its appreciation of the pastor,
Rev. B. J. Russell, by presenting him
with a 1925 rubber-tired big aasthi-
circuit and his peoIpls nave al, ,ed fss
his return. This is proof Of bis splen-
did work and popularity throughout
the bounds Of the circuit.
Farris Rivers, a negro whose home
is in the eighth district of this county,
came into the office Of J.. o. Bonner, Sec
rotary of the local board Monday and
stated that he understood that sever
al negroes with wives and children had
been drafted for war service and would
leave that day for camp. He further
stated that he had no one depending
upon him for support and said that he
would like to go in the place of one Of
those mentioned. Arrangements we're
made Immediately and Rivers took the
place of Lawrence Flagg and left
with the bunch for Camp Meade. Such
patriotism as this is deserving of mo-
tice and commentator. There are
few of Rivers kind in Haywood coun-
ty.
Esq. S. E. MCGEE of Hillville was in
town Wednesday for a supply ofpledge
cards for United States food admins
t%ration. In speaking of the good ac-
complished by the campaign made
throughout the county last spring for
the Investigation Of crops and the
planting of larger food crops, he mem
toned an old negro of his ~neighbor-
hood who said recently: "Boss, / had
dat good piece O bottom land O mine
: plowed good en- ready fer cotton,
when | heered dem white folks stalkin'
bout plantin' less cotton an mo, corn,
ZEN | jes' said. We'll, dey sho' mus
know what dey talkin' bout, an Tse
gwine to do jes' what dey say So now
rs got a fine crop O. corn, while dem
what planted all cotton amt got
nuthini' There were many people
both black and white who p%rofted by
that advice just as. the old negro did.
But there were some too wise TO leaI,.
from others-maybe, they will learn
from experience.
