LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, May THE
weather has made change again and
it is some warmer after a few cold
days and we are in hopes now that it
will remain warm. The rain in this
section has stopped the planting of
cotton seeds for day or two.
The Liberty Loan meeting held at
JoneSville was a success-a grand pa
rade was made through the streets
after which the people all gathered
at the Gradedsc hool auditorium to
hear the speaking. Col. T. G. Duncan
of Union was chairman and he intro
duced H. X. Osborne, Major Trumbull
and DR.. Ayers. These gentlemen all
made fine addresses on this occasion:
DR.. Ayers pictured the scene in Ger
plain that his speech seemed to in
spire the people and they bought free
ly of Liberty Bonds.

The people in this section wer,
very much excited over seeing tn,
light in the skies last week. Som,
thought it was an airship, but it has
been decided that it was one of the
signs and wonders of Heaven that the
Bible tells us about. This is another
warning, yes, the Good Book tells us
that there will be earthquakes in di
vers places, signs and wonders in the
Heavens before the coming of tn,
Savious.
| am glad to say that the people
everywhere are responding to all sug.
gestions made by the food administra.
ton and are economizing in their liv.
ing which is not only an advantage
to them but helps the government
believe if the people will do their part
that God will do His in giving the
people another prosperous year.
There was prayer service al
the Gault school Sunday night when
prayer was offered for our soldiers
and sailors and this prayer r1eeoin,,
will continue every Sunday night and
everybody is invited.
Well, we are now eating vegetables
from our own gardens. l had new
