LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, May 15.-Well,
we are having fine weather now such
as we need, getting warm and rain
now and then is sure the thing for
the cotton that is trying to come up,
and it is also fine for the gardens,
the vegetables are real fine and every
one is telling proud and talking of
their fine gardens.
Sometimes things look gloomy,
then again we feel like we are on the
mountain top. If we people would
stop and think for a moment we all
should be very thankful to know it is
as well with us as what it is. We
are living and worshipping under our
own vine and fig tree, while others
are living under adverse circum-
stances. 1t could be worse with us
and might be if this cruel war goes
on. We don't know what we are COM
ing to; maybe we are at the begin
ming of one of the greatest wars that
history can tell us about and while
we are enjoying this life and sur
surrounded with plenty there are
many who have not bread to eat.
