A WORD FROM STAR;

Star, Miss, June 10. Editor
News: Enclosed is a cotton bloom
pulled to-day out of the field.
Cotton, and all other crops
are looking fine, and with the
late news from the boys on the
battle front in France makes us
all feel better.
There was shipped from Star
last week 3 or 4 cars of Irish
potatoes. The first one only sold
for S1.OO per hundred pounds.
Later other cars sold for $1.35
per hundred pounds through the
energetic and untiring efforts OF
our hustling emergency agent
Mr.. S. v. Burks.
He is a live wire" and certain

round Star a neat sum Of money
enough to pay his salary for sew

We thank the board for secu-

one who will take care of the far
mers interest in the marketing
of his produce.
Burkes is O. K! boys-lets
stand by him.
Mr.. Editor, there Ills one good
thing the war has brought about

for that too after we have whip

of anything else that will better

IN MEMORY OF GROVER X
TANNER.

Death is always a shock: even,
when it gently removes those
whom we love, but ali! how much
more painful and tragic seems
the blow when the message comes
from over the briny deep that
son, brother, loved one had been
killed in action. This message
was wildly borne in upon US
when the death of our beloved
Grover TX. Tanner reached us
Saturday evening April 20, 1915.
Grover K. Tanner was born
February %, 1893. In early life
he gave his heart to God, and
lived a consecrated life until death
Buddy" as he was called, was
loved by all who knew him. He
was a true christian and a patriot.
While in the full bloom of his
young manhood filled with a
sense of duty with heart and
hands busted in Doing this
Bit" God in His infinite
Wisdom saw fit to bear
him above. Truly, the ways
of Providence are mysterious! We
know not from what impending
adversely this dear boy may have
been removed by the foresight Of
the wise and tender Shepherd.
whose kind precaution houses his
sheep before the tempest pours
it's rage, but Sometime we'll
understand And resting our
faith on these words, God doeth
all things WE'LL" we can launch
them out upon the dark and tur-
bid waters of the river of death
with faith in the God of Abraham
Isaac and Jacob to bring again
from the dead those so dear to
our hearts.
Sorrow! yes, loved ones, we
will, we must sorrow but not as
those who have no hope. Our
darling boy is not lost, but gone
on before and we can rest assured
that our loss is Heavens gain.
Trust Jesus. Earth hath no sor-
row that Heaven can not heal.
Yes,
"His voice is hushed, he sleeps in
peace, but still
u;a ovos~1f Evoa
And points our footsteps to the path
With light it gives.
His was soul that stood alone un-
moved
By errors might,
When yielding towards fed or turned
aside
To shun the fight.
With trenchant lance he fought and
wavered not,
Where vice was strong,
And full-armed with courage main
tanned the right
Against all wrong.
God sent him to the world to fill a
place
In His wise plan,
A Guide to virtuous deeds, faithful
friend
A brave man."
To those who mourn we should
say:
"But not today. Then be content, poor
hearti
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white
unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves
apart;
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold,
And, if through patient toll, we reach
the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed,
may rest,
When we shall clearly know and under
stand,
| think that we shall say that "GQd
knew best"
ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

IN MEMORY OF JAMES F.
BAKER.

On the morning of May 10,
1918, Mr.. James F. Baker of
Pisgah passed away, surrounded
by his family and neighbors.
The presence of death always
causes us to pause and think, as
nothing esle will ever do, and
upon hearing of the death of this
neighbor and friend, the writer
began thinking of him as he had
known him in life.
His service in public Office. a
number of years as..constable, one
term as county commissioner,
and six years on the county
shool board, was all that could be
asked for, or found in a good
officer and gentleman.
The one great outstanding test
of our fellow man is the manner
in which he conducted himself in
his immediate home and neighbor-
hood, and have often wondered
if there ever was a cleaner living
squarer man than James F.
Baker. A gentleman, a home
loving home maker, the father of
an adoring family, he was the
highest type of parent.
To say that he was a good man
is not enough, he was a christian
gentleman and can not be for
gotten. He has passed into that
bourne which no traveller returns
but like the fragrance of sweet
flowers the memory of his love
and kindness fingers with us.
His life from the cradle to the
grave was spent in the same COM
munity made better by his in
flunce. AS a neighbor, where
was there ever a better one?
If we, of Pisgah. were called
upon to tabulate the things that
he has done for us, we would
have a written record of neigh
borly deeds that would be I'M
believable.
It is a wonderful thing to have
in the community, a man in
whom every man, woman, and
child, white and black, places
absolute confidence, someone to
whom you can turn in Itime of
sickness, i'll luck or for sound
heart given advice. Such a man
was James Floyd Baker, and our
neighborhood will never have an
other. His place can never be
filled.
And know a great many of
us would be glad to know that
when we pass over the Great
Divide, we leave behind only the
deeds and examples of man
that was a man, a parent sin
cerely adored by his family, and
a neighbor sincerely loved by his
fellowman.
He leaves a wife, six daugh-
tiers, seventeen grandchildren,
and a host of relatives and
friends to mourn his death. Your
earthly career has been closed
dear loved one, you are at rest;
and it must be wonderful to
know that by living as you did,
you set an example that will
ever do us good. An example that
will speak for you. and help us un-
til we are ready to lay down the
burden and;follow to the great ad-
venture. You fought a good fight.
you kept the faith. Rest in peace
as the Great rather has promised
we shall rest.
Thou art gone our precious loved one;
Never more we'll see thy face,
Till we meet thee Ger the river
In that happy dwelling place.
Thou art gone but not forgotten;
Never will you cease to be
In our memories so often
Till we meet you o. er the sea.

man and peasant and has
sought to enflame them against
all others. The bolsheviki
leaders have sacrificed every
thing to save their own particu-
lar idea of what the Russian
revolution meant. They have
cast justice and democracy to
the winds. They have given no
consideration to nationalism
and have allowed their once
great country to become an
easy victim of their imperial
iStic and capitalistic neighbOr.
For the sake of a narrow class
ism they have destroyed their
country. They have made it
worse off than it was under the
.classism of the czar.
What Russia needs is a gov
ernment that can have the
support of all classes, be they
ignorant or educated, rich or
poor. 1t needs a government
of the people, with policies
that look to justice, progress
and equality before the law. If
Russia had such a government
lit would have the support of
all classes, all would gain and
the country would stand forth
as a giant among the nations:
Until it gets such a government
lit cannot fail to be impotent.
The bolsheviki idea is to care
for the feet only, figuratively
speaking. and their idea of car
ing for the feet seems to call
for paralyzing the Russian,
hand, head and heart. There
lis little hope from the bolshe-
Wiki leaders and the most dis
Itressing feature in the Russian
situation is that there appears
to be no other leadership than
iLenine and Trotsky.

Justification for this view is
found in the fact that after
two years of war, with great
scarcity of wheat, the average
American farmer received no
such price as So for his wheat.
A handful of men who held
their wheat many months Sc
cured that price or more but
the great bulk of the wheat
crops of 1915 and 1916 left
first hands for prices that may
be said to have averaged close
to $1.25 per bushel.
