Dor, J. E. Warwick. Mr.. Mercer dying
at Fayetteville hospital Sunday,
and was buried Monday.
Both men had been in Elizabeth
town during the afternoon, and be-
cause of some words and previous bad
feeling toward each other, friends Of
Mr.. Warwick told him to keep out of
Mr.. MERGERS way, which he claimed
he attempted to do, but met Mr.. Mer-
GER on the road, and the indications
to him were that Mr.. Mercer was go
ing to shoot him, and he prepared to
shoot in self-defense. Which shot
first, Mr.. Warwick is reported to have
said he did not know. He received a
severe flesh wound himself. He at

We. frequently hear it stated that
| the farmers as a class did not buy
Liberty Loan bonds. The farmers are
doing their bit as usual. We believe
them just as patriotic as any class
of men you find. Not only are they
giving up their sons to fight but they
are raising and conserving their food
that this awful war for God and hui
mainly may be won.
Misses Nellie and Emily Kinlaw en-
tertained Friday evening of last week
in honor of their guest Miss Mary
M. White Those so fortunate as to
attend say it was one of the most
, pleasant receptions Of the year. The
Misses Kinlaw fully sustained then
reputation as ideal hostesses. There
were about twenty young people who
enjoyed to the fullest this most pleas
ant occasion. After indulging in many
and various games, the guests were
, invited to the dining-room, where {
t delicious salad course was served.

22-Farmers are all through gath
ering their crops and are preparing
for another one.
There was preaching here Saturday
night and Sunday by Rev. F. NJ. Wa
tiers. Everybody seemed to like him fine.
Some say he did the best preaching
they had heard in long time.
Farmers all seem to be we'll pleased
with the price they are getting for
their cotton. Some will say that ev-
erybody ought to be, but it isn't a
very good price considering what we
have to buy. When pound of cot
ton will buy a pound of meat then it
will kinder do; and it is not doing it
yet. Farmers that make plenty OF
peas this time will hit it right, fo1
we heard the other day that they
