FORD'S FERRY

The corn crop of this neighborhood
is growing splendidly at the present
time. This condition is not only pre-.
vailing in this vicinity but it is also ex.
listing in many different parts If the
United States. There are quite num-
Der of people who are predicting that
the present year will witness record
crop of corn and we sincerely hope
that such will be the case for it would
be tremendous benefit to the ALI
ed cause and would contribute in a
very considerable measure toward the
defeat of the foe.
We notice that tn. American War
Department is planning to put 600. E
600 men on the fighting line if trans
pOrtation facilities will enable them to
do so. Unless a more effective method
is found to curb the U-boat menace
however, our government will expert.
ence considerable difficulty in trans
porting this great host across the
broad waters of the Atlantic.
The recent protracted meeting at
Hebron was well attended by many
people throughout this neighborhood
and they certainly did appreciate the
sermons which were delivered by Rev.
Crow. 1t was the greatest religions
revival which Hebron has experiences
for years. A member of people IRE
converted to Christianity and many of
those who were already Christians
were appreciably benefited by the
meeting. Rev. Crow is very force
full and energetic preacher and his idees
are expressive and interesting. He is
deep student of theology and has
read great many religious works dur.
ing his life time. The people who
heard him during the recent meeting
will be glad of the oppoi .unity to
hear him again.
The people Of this neighborhood are
manifesting considerable amount Of
interest over the primary election. BY
the time these. words are printed al.
most everybody will be fully acquaint-
ed with the result. We sipcerely hf
leve that many Of those who are nom.
mated are possessed Of the qualifica-
lions which will enable them to guar
antee faithful and efficient service IL
they are fortunate enough to secure
the Offices to which they aspire. A
county officer should be imbued with
the qualities of intelligence, upright.
ness, integrity and plenty Of courage
IN the performance of his duty.
