Mrs. George E. Wood few days
ago sold sc bales of cotton at 26%c
pound and Mr.. J. d. Jeffries sold
about % bales at 25kc a pound
There is not much old cotton in the
country now. The new crop will be
rather late coming in.
AS to the great war: I am almost
dumbfounded and don't know what to
say for one nation with a territory
not larger than the State of Texas to
hold IL nations at bay and destroy so
much of their navy puts me to silence
as to what will happen. No nation
ought to be allowed a place on Gods
world that is not governed by democ-
racy for one man to sit back in his
arm chair and direct a government
like William, the kaiser, is doing is
ridiculous and he should be blotted
out and wiped from the face of the
earth and assigned 1, place with Dives.
where there is no water to cool his
tongue. Think if so many pretty in
nocent French and Belgian girls have
been the victims of his army of raw
lshers is enough to make the civilized
world blush in shame. An army of
raplStS to succeed like the Germans
astonishes me beyond measure.

IN the country last week and Sunday

ers at Jonesville, which will insure,
good corn crops with the early plant

It's a good time to plant the turnip

Mr.. Joe Free, one of our Jonesville
boys, left home about four years ago
and has been up in Kentucky and New
York. He came in Saturday and is

peting with the most cultured voices.
am sorry to see my friend and
brother and comrade, G. T. Gault, has
seen proper to knock and kick the
great government in which we live.
