FELLOWSHIP

Fellowship, Oct 18.-We are glad
to report Mrs. R. w. Ferguson is
still improving.
S. J. McCuI1y has just flushed
planting rape for pasture for hogs in
the winter and spring.
The members of the farmers union
are preparing to build a potato cur
ing house. Work will begin in a few
days and will be rushed to compile
tion. This house will serve to cure
onions and corn. We believe every
neighborhood ought to have a cur
ing house so they could hold their
potatoes and onions until the market
justified selling them.
The pound party given in honor of
Miss Geneva McCully last Saturday
night proved quite success. About
thirty young people were in attend
ance and spent the evening very
pleasantly.
We are having some rainy weather
and Pm afraid it has caught quite a
lot of hay in the cocks in the field as
everybody was busy cutting hay last
week.
We understand Mr.. S. w. Curry
has resigned his position with the
hard rock people at Morriston, and
will devote his time to his farm ex-
clusively.
The farmers are certainly coming
into their own. | used to go to town
and if l had anything to sell the mer-
chant would say, III give you 50
much for your farm products. But
now they ask you how much will you
take for your produce. I've heard all
my life history repeats itself.

INSTRUCTION
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL

A Star reporter had a real treat
this morning when he took a few
minutes off to watch the students at
the high school drill.
Last year, they left it to the stud
ents as to whether they should drill
or not; consequently the force was
cut down to a scanty but efficient
squad. This year military evolutions
is study for all, boys and girls, and
under the efficient instruction of Mr..
Henderson both girls and boys are
not only in the course but enjoying it.
The exercise is given at the ten
O'Clock recess. The boys on the par
ade ground north of the school, and
the girls on the streets on the other
three sides, line up. march and go
thru their evolutions.
School hasn't been going on long,
so some of the scholars are awkward
yet. The boys "milled" a little at
times, but did fairly we'll, and when
they gathered together in squads to
march back to the schoolhouse, they
made quite an impressive little col
umn.
The reporter didn't see the girls
altogether. They were scattered
around in punches, looking more like
patches of flowers than squads of en-
bryo Amazons. They were eyes to
the front except when they wanted to
look in another direction, and kept
silence in the ranks unless they
wanted to talk. but they looked
mighty good, and worth fighting for,
whether they will ever be able to
fight or not.

SHE MADE PORT SAFELY

Washington, Oct. 18.-An Ameri
can destroyer patrolling the war zone
was torpedoed by an enemy subma-
rine yesterday. Gunner's Mate Os-
mond Kelly Ingram, of Pratt City,
Ala, was killed and five wounded: The
destroyer managed to make port des-
pite the severe damage. Vice Ad-
miral Sims cabled brief report of
the incident to the navy department,
but gave few details. 1t is assumed
that there was no fight and that the
U-boat made good her escape after
launching the torpedo. In accordance
with the policy. of secrecy surround
ing American naval operations the
department did not divulge the name
of the destroyer or exact place of the
attack. 1t is the first American war
ship which has been hit by the en-
emy since the war began. Naval Of
ficials here are of the opinion that
the destroyer was taken unawares
and had no chance to whirl her guns
into position.
