ABOUT COTTON NEXT YEAR

1t will be difficult for the successful
cotton grower to think in terms of
diversified farming this year. Some
men are forcing themselves that way,
however.
A prominent farm writer calls at
tention to the fact that in eleven cot
ton-growing, or one-crop, states the
total bank deposits last year were
les than two billion dollars. In nine
diversified farming states, with pop
ulation equal to that of the eleven
southern states, the total bank de-
posits were nearly five billion dollars.
But then, these figures will not
mean much to the man who was able
to get twenty cents for his cotton.
Many Tennessee farmers did this and
the yield of their acres was high, too!
Success for them will test their
farming mettle. Are they going to
forget the value of live stock to their
farms? Will they plant some of the
land that ought to be in legumes to
cotton with the hope that they will
have big yield next year, and that
the price will be what it has been
this year?
Diversified farming is the only
farming that will ever bring perma-
nent prosperity to Tennessee.
Diversified farming viii pay. 1t re-
quires more intelligent man to pro-
duce several kinds of crops, but that
is the kind of farmer who will take
in the money.

DIRECTORS
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Whereas, God, in His allwise and
infinite wisdom, has seen fit to remove
from our midst our dear sister and CO.
worker, Miss Mary Elizabeth McMul-
len, whose death occurred on Novem-
Der %, 1916, therefore be it resolved;
First. That we, as Sunday
school, feel keenly the great and ire
parable loss in the going away OF this
dear girl and sincerely sympathize
with the father and brothers, whose
loss is much greater, and commend
them to God and the word OF His
grace.
Second. That we record our CRATE
full appreciation of her life, bearing,
as it has, in our midst the fruits Of
the Spirit, namely, love, JOY, peace,
gentleness, goodness and faith. For
to know Miss Bettye las she was al
ways called was to love her.
Third. That we bow in humble
submission to the will of our Heaven
" Father and renew our efforts to
further His great cause through our
Sunday school,
Fourth. That copy Of these reso-
buttons be spread upon the minutes Of
our Sunday school, copy be sent to
the bereaved family, and copy be
sent to the county papers for publ
cation.

licity Of design before the cards leave
the engravers.
Miss Mclaughlin has been asked to
give an exclusive contract to P. f.
Volland for all work, but win not con-
sent to confne her ideas strictly to
one house.
Miss Mclaughlin was student at
the Cincinnati Art Academy and was
engaged in work in that city for sew
eral years. For the past three years
she has been in Chicago, where she
has little time for recreation, intro
spection or retrospection. Frequently
she is called one evening on the tele-
phone with a request to have as many
the following morning. So these lines
of sentiment are given almost any
where, from a street car to an elevat,
as 20 texts ready for the publishers by
or, as time and circumstance will
permit.
Miss Mclaughlin will return to
Chicago this week.

ELITE TO OPEN JANUARY Is

Mr.. Ernest Smith, Jr., is having the
Dixie theater building overhauled
preparatory to opening a new movie
show there on Januray Is, under the
name of The Elite. The report seems
to have gained some currency that
the Elite would be operated for the
benefit of colored patrons, but Mr.
Smith says this is altogether mis-
take and that it will be operated
strictly for the benefit of white people,
and ladies and children especially;
that the ladies will be extended every
courtesy and given every protection

served that the grass had been trod-

in a hundred shells, with no result
other than to churn up the mud. The
enemy, apparently thinking a raid was
imminent, opened up with machine
guns at a point where the lines are
closest. A stream of bullets whistled
over the American first line.
About the same time French troops
on the American flank observed four
Germans who were cutting the
barbed-wire defenses. A French pa
troll succeeded in heading off the Ger.
mans, capturing them all.
