LOCKHART JUNCTION

DockhTt Junction, March 13.-
There has been few pretty days the
past week but today it is raining
again.
We see the farmers are buying and
hauling in their guano. I hope there
won't be large crop of cotton plant
ed. l throw this out. Don't buy too
much fertilizer and don't plant too
much cotton. This writer has not
bought but just about half of what
he did last year and part of that will
go on corn as I plant.
Our ambition during our short stay
here in this world should be to accom-
plish much and to build up and wish
for great success in our own country.
and leave behind us an inheritance
that the next generation will feel
proud of. Are we not partial to the
place and country that gave us birth
| can in imagination look back to the
old home where I was born, and that
seems to me the dearest spot on earth.
Although I am just a few hun
dred yards from that spot, the old
home is there. looks just the same as
it did when I was a boy, and this
building has stood near to two CEN
turics. 1t is about the oldest building
in this section.
I received today from friend of
mine nCherokee county an invitation
to come to Sunnyside school house
next Friday evening. 10th, at 7:2o
o'clock. to attend the plav entitled
"The Brooksdale Farm" This is by
local talent. There are four acts and
every act is full of wit, humor and
tragedy. Let us go. Sunnyside school
is in fine section of country. Many
good people in that section will be
glad to see you and take care of you
while in their section.
met Mr.. c. f. Bailey at the juno
! tion few days ago. He was lust
back from a trip to see his daughter
and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. J. B.
| Young. They live in Laurens county.
Mr.. Bailey says he surely did en-
| 10Y his trip over there. He saws it
doesn't look like hard times over there
as ho rot so MANY good things to eat
he had got fat. He tells me his SON
in-law and daughter canned 400 cans
Of fHlit. sold all but what he saved
/
homemade molasScS at GO cents p
Gallon. sold two hogs at good rricc
and ho sold 400 cans OF ,lackbnrries
Mt S1.1o a dozen and manv dozen of
""~S also. He saws his son-in-law. Mr.
Young. runs his farm end sells to the
mill people. That is what I call form
ing on the right plan. have evervthino
to sell and nothing to buy, and it will
pay to farm. but I will say there is
so few of lis that have anything to
sell. 1t liiks like where some have
plenty others have less. We read of
the starving children.
| met Mr.. S. S. Cudd yesterday and
he predicted that there would be
greater famine to come. He is a BIZ
BILE reader and can tell and explain
what he reads. He told me of Daniels
visions, what he say. He said Daniel
saw the submarine that they are now
using and also saw the chariots and
saw the great explosions of balls of
fire and saw the great machines run
ming on the earth without horses and
the airships and they had four wings
and they came to the ground and run
on wheels. Many things Mr.. Cudd told
me but | did not have time to take
the dots. 7 will say that Mr.. Cudd
and Mr.. J. s. Thrasher are two men
that can tell you more about the Bible
in little time than any two men I |
have met vet. 1t does seem to me
that the Bible propheses are being full
filled.
Mr.. j. Louis Hames of Locl;hart has
returned from Washington and Balti- |
more. Mr.. Hames says he enjoyed his
trip. only it was very worlisome in |
Washington seeing people massed to-
gether was a sight to him. He said he !
had to go to Baltimore to stay all
night. 1t cost to stay in Washington
$500 a night. He said he was told
that some people paid $3.50 to sit in a
window to see the procession. He said
it took 61a hours to pass. He said it
looked like there was enough men
there to whip the world, let alone
Germany. Mr.. Hames was examined
at John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore.
He said they told him the same thing
the doctors told him at the Columbia
hospital; that he would have to under
