LOST MOUNTAIN

Have you seen that 27 cent
Smile? We saw some farmers at
market who had received 27 cents
per ID. for their cotton and such a
smile it put on their face we have
never seen before We remember
the 40 cent smile," it looked good.
The "15 cent smile" was quite an
Improvement. The "20 cent smile"
we thought couldn't be beat, but this
"27 cent smile" has got everything
else skinned" a mile. "a thing of
beauty and Joy forever"
Nothing like it, everybody is wear
ing it.
Had you got a snapshot of far
mer in 1914 when he sold his cotton
for cents and one of the same far
mer in 1917 when he sold for 27
cents and compare the two you would
never recognize it as the same man,
no, never; now we are imagining how
the $50 cent smile" would look.
Could it be described? Is the farmer
coming to his own?
We regret to lose our good friend
Roy Thackston who has sold out his
worldly possessing" and gone to At
