LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, May 2s.-The
weather has made some changes; it
is getting warmer.
The crop prospect is the sorriest l
think that l have ever seen at this
time, cotton especially. Bad stands is
the talk everywhere, and l hear there
will be cotton planted over today.
There was severe hail storm in
many sections last week, doing
great deal of damage to cotton. Some
have to plant over on account of the
hail; many have to plant over be-
cause they did not get stand at first.
Well, it seems this has been a very
strange year in many ways. None
of us know what the outcome is going
to be. We don't know the future;
we can only judge it by the past
prophesies and the Bible, it seems to
me, is being fulfilled.
1 was at Union few days last
week and attended the District Sun
day School conference held at that
place. There was good delegation
from the different charges in the dis
trict. This convention was largely at
tended by the preachers, not so many
laymen or relegates as there should
have been. Many good speeches on
different subjects were made. l think
there should be more in attendance
upon these conventions. There should
be more delegates from the different
schools present. We people ought to
sacrifice more time and make these
conventions still better by going. You
will learn more and be ready when
you come back to take or have more
interest in your own Sunday school.
While attending the convention l
was assigned to the home of Mrs.
M. G. Lake, where we enjoyed the
kindest hospitality by the family.
The Coast Artillery boys at Jones'
vile did we'll on their examinations.
Nine out of ten stood their test on the
gunners' examination.
Mr.. Roy Fowler, who is now at Un-
ion was visitor in this section Sun
day.
Miss Louise Plexico of Lockhart is
visiting her brother and sister and
grandfather, Mr.. j. w. Pickens, of
this community.
Jerry Beatty, a colored man living
1t is thought they ate some green
leaves that poisoned them, as there
near here, lost three cows last week.
have been several cows to die very
quickly after taking sick Some think
they have gotten hold of other poison
that was put out for crows.
Too much of one kind of green
feed is not good for stock. A COW

might poison them or a horse, they
tell me, can eat too much green feed
when not used to it; it is also dan
gerous to them.
l see Lockhart Junction got credit
for two write-ups in last weeks paper,
but L guess as you read down the
Ines you saw it was from Lockhart
mills instead of the Junction.
Miss Amanda Little has gone to
Greenville to visit her daughter, Mrs.
w. Newell Smith.
Mr.. Hey Denver, I am coming down
to see some of your fair ladies of
Santuc before a great while. You
had better have an engagement with
your best girl; if you don't l might
beat you out and have you dancing
or realing on both of your feet to get
me away.
Many people were sorry to know
that little Maud Gault died in Union
last week so quickly after being con-
fined to her bed.
Every one knew her only to love
her. She had kind, loving DISPOSE
tion. Knowing her as l did, she had
been sick many times almost unto
death, but she bore it patiently. She
would get better and go around some,
and then sick again as her sickness
seemed to be chronic. 1t followed her,
for the same sickness killed her. L
will say to her grandmother, father,
sisters and aunt: If Maud could speak
to you her words would be, "Do not
grieve for me, for l am where there
is no more sickness, no more sorrow,
pain or DEATH" We need not sorrow
as those who have no hope for Maud
is at rest. Moxy.
