NEWS OF
LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart junction, May 23.-The
weather is now fine, some are thin
ming out cotton while others are fin
ishing planting. I believe there will
be very good stands for the late
planting will soon come up-the
ground is warm and everything is
favorable for good stand. l think
from what l see and hear the farm
ers have planted plenty of corn and
feed stuff to make enough to do them
if everything is favorable and that is
the idea. Another good crop year and
good prices prevail and the farmers
as well as other businesses will be
over the top. God knows our needs
and will supply our wants if we will
only do our part and the most people
are trying tc do their part. 1 never
'ncw /. time when there were any
more burdens to bear than now and
oil ,! us are uLrLen p.Ir"r$. are we
not? But some have harder burden
!5ab others and w ought to help lift
it. If the war don't make US forget
prejudice and hatred and ali such vile
things, / do not know what will /
believe this war is warning to the
people and may be only the beginning
of sorrows and troubles. l am so
glad to see the patriotism in this
country as well as other places
among the women of our land they
are doing a great work, being loyal to
their country, their State and their
nation. One writer said "the hand
that rocks the cradle, rules the
world"
No matter how small the gift may
be it is all right in the sight of God
and we ought to do more, remember
the widows mite and give, give, give
until your heart says stop to the great
Red Cross, which is helping to save
your boy and mine.

Cross and one young lady said she had

what the young women are doing.
| attended the children's service at
Bethlehem last Sunday night and their
exercises were fine and AS l sat and
looked on and listened at the recita-
tions by the little boys and girls,
thought came to me-there is our fu-
ture generation. Some good seed
were sown and these children and pa
rents and the trainers of the children.
