Replanting General

There has been much replanting IN
every state. and the cotton everywhere
has a stunted appearance and has
grown but little. In addition to cold
weather. drouth in some sections has
kept the seed from terminating. The
crop will average probably three weeks
late in age and probably more IN size
and appearance.
MANY sections report lice. There is
some complaint of weevils, but they
have not shown up as yet to any great
extent, probably owing TO the lateness
of the crop. Generally cultivation is
fully up 20 normal, and there is little
grass in the fields. There is a consid-
cradle shortage in the labor supply. but
farmers are well up with their work in
most places. owing to the generally dry
weather prevailing during most Of
the month. The labor shortage applies
10 the states east of the Mississippi
River: those west of the river probably
have sufficient labor to make the crop
Condition of the crop by states fol-
lows: Virginia. IS; North Carolina, CD;
South Carolina, 20; Georgia, SO;
Florida, rs; Alabama, 81; Mississippi,
Go; Louisiana, II; Texas, "a; Arkansas,

Revised estimates Of the area planted
and in cultivation at the end of June
last year place the acreage at 36,052,-
600, the area picked last year at 34,9S5,-
000 acres, and the yield per acre at
1866 pounds of lint.

partment of Agriculture shows that the
condition of the crop on May 20 was

early May were so low that frost
formed even in the southern part Of
the cotton belt. Much cotton was
killed outright, and the stand was dam

Mrs. Vickey Ketchem.

On Friday Jan. 18th, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Staton and took from them their beloved daugh- ter, Mickey. wife of MT. Samuel Ketchem, her husband having preceded her a few years ago.
 Mickey was raised in this sec -tion. She professed a hope in Christ a number of years ago, through the able ministry of Rev. Jesse McMillan. She joined the United Baptist Church of which she has since been a member. She was a model Christian, in dustrious, a loving and faithful companion, obedient daughter and indulgent mother.
 We join her relatives and friends in mourning her death.
 She leaves a father. mother. two brothers. one sister and two children.
 She was buried at the Bedding cemetery Sunday about l: p. m. Rev. Pinion being unable to at tend, because he was sick. and conduct the burial service, w. R. James read the 18th chapter of lst Cor. after which the body was laid to rest.

 To think she is dead. it is sad in-

Two Die Same Day.

Miss Telia Kendall, age 2, daughter of Mir. Price Kendall, died at her home near Liberty Saturday at 7:30 a. m. of pneu- monia.
 At one o'clock the same day Grandma Kendall passed away, that being her 91st birthday.
 Both remains were taken to the old Kendall graveyard in Johnson county for burial.
 Another daughter is very sick from pneumonia and Mir. and Mrs. Kendall were unable to at- tend the funeral of their daugh- ter and mather.

Mrs. Marion Cannon Died

Mrs. Marion Cannon passed away about one o'clock Satur- day night at the Warner home in this city. Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon by Rev. J. w. LeRoy, Pastor of the Methodist Church, and J. H. King of the Presbyte- rian Church; interment was in the Highland cemetery.
 About two years ago 1t became known that she was a victim of tuberculosis. Taking the advice of physicians. she went to the Sanatorium at Bonneville. where she was treated for vtral months. She then returned home thinking she could keep up the treatment and be with her own people. who have always loved and cared for her so ten derly.
 She was the youngest daughter of a large family and has never been entirely from under the care of Miss Florence Warner, who has always been as a mother to her. But with all that could be done it seems that cure was be- yond the reach of man, and Ida sVbmissively yielded up her young life. at the age of twenty four years, saying frequently that she was ready to go, express ing herself in a way that indicat- ed that she wanted to go to rest, so tired and worn out was her frail little body. Rev. w. J. Le- Roy received her into the Meth odist Church and baptized her.
 Ida was a lovable, sweet, spir- itual woman and it may well go without saying that she had many friends in Ozark who are grieved by her death, and sympa- thize with the bereaved hus sband, little three-year-old son, brothers and sisters in their sorrow and regreltable loss.

Rest Room Discussed.

1I ID A lNCL tu0t IueTC ID HUI as much interest takened in poultry eggs and butter as there would be. if the women could make more trips to town. They get discouraged sending in their produce when it. arrives in a brokened, untidy manner. As a rule its rather laughable to see a man trying to handle butter, eggs without getting it.all over every thing but it ceases to be a joke when it means that the family pocket book must suffer and city people do without these fresh country products. because it is impossible for the women to take them in themselve and de- liver them to the merchants, and customers in an acceptable manner.
 How many out of town pupils have you who drives in on Fri dsy.to bring them home? How nice if there was . rest room where mothers could make her. self more presentable. meet the children and arrange their little shopping needs. tell them to meet her in short time, leaving their parcels in the room for safe keeping until they are ready to drive back home. One more point in favor of the country women before this appeal is clos cd.
 Have any of you ever driven out @ long ways in the mountains and met the real friendly farm 'ers and their wives in their 'homes. Were you not impresse d by the hearty welcome you were given. you were at once felt their interest in you and how RSad they were to see you. and when you left after you had stayed louger than you intendad aud had besn repeatedly urged to come again. you drove off say ing the friendliest people we ever met".
 City friends. you cannot open your homes to them in this manner. It would not be convenient for you and we would not have time tc accept your hospitality but you can mako it pleasant for us and lift many hard ships from the mothers and daughters of the country by establishing . rest room in a con- veint place at Ozark.

newspapers. He!said he understood
from what Secretary Perry had writ

be done was to close the deal.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Lowell and
Mr.. Jamison called on some of the
progressive business men of the city,
but failed to get their subscriptions,
and SO abandoned work here, at
least for the time being.

demand for somebody to build ana
