ting busy with rush. Some have al
ready made their early paintings.
During the past month Mann Wills

of registered Jersey calves. Mr.. Wills
is believer in keeping none but the
best and this accounts for his great
success with Jerseys.
According to recent government
report there were ginned in Haywood
county this season, Prior to January
16, 10,648 bales Of cotton against 3d.

Keep down the. cotton acreage and
plant more food producing crops must
Be our slogan this year. just as long
as this war lasts, food and more food
must be the battle cry of those who
stay at home. The man who allows
his selishness to draw him from the
food producing ranks in order that he
may make killing" on high priced
cotton, is not lending his support to
the government and should be classed
just where he belongs by his neigh
bors.
OF course we are all going to keep

the past. The only difference should

diture of money. Merchants who adj
virtise in this paper keep the best

vertising pays and every live merchant
knows it. Advertising is one of the
best and surest signs of their progress
siveness. Look over their ads before
coming to town. 1t will pay you in
dollars and cents to do so.

be pleasant news to lovers of the NOV
les. Brownsville will support shows
of this character, but the cheap and
immoral need not apply. Our people
want the best or none.

less rigid now than during the first

Sewer, president of the local board, is
in charge, assisted by Drs. Scott and
Meux.
We understand that there are some
negro men hanging around the negro
pool room here and on the street cor
ners who have no visible means of sup
port. If this is true, our officers can
render no more patriotic service to
their government than by seeing to it
that this bunch are run out of town or
put to work, and we believe we have
