FLORENCE DEPARTMENT
BY R. A. WHITFIELD.

The first paragraph in the
Florence department last week
sprung from some other town
and accidently got into the
wrong column.
This Florence community has
had more than it's share of spring
rain. Two heavy rains came
down, one Saturday night and
one Sunday night. Vegetation
will now spring forth rapidly in
rich soil.
The little boys will find plenty
of sport for the next month or
two, on the banks of the creek
and other streams. The rain has
filled the streams so that fishes
of various kinds have gone up to
spawn, before the waters fall to
normal.
Mrs. Lizzie Stubs Martin of
Rome, Sunfiower county, was a
most, welcome visitor at the
home of her aunt, Mrs. W. D.
Steen, during the past few days.
Mrs. Martin is the eldest daugh-
ter of Charley Stubs formerly
of near Florence, but now in the
delta country.
Rev. S. T, Courtney, pastor of
the Baptist church in Florence
was chosen by Braxton High
School to deliver the commence
ment Sermon at BraXton last
Sunday. That community certain
ly enjoyed a fine sermon.
The many friends of Rev. Sam
Ellis will be agreeably surprised
to learn he had married again.
His wife is said to be a fine
woman of culture. being the
principal of the school in his
home town, Isola.
Not a word from the anti
cotton" and the "pro-corn" COM
mittee in beat / to date. Perhaps
the chairman of the committee
is too busy on the job to write
the News what has been accom-
plished. Tell the people, Mr..
Chairman, what progress the
committee has made so far.
Good news is worth telling at
any time.
Prof. Massey, one of the editors
of the Progressive Farmer, being
asked by some one, what to APP
ply to cotton seed to prevent
root lice," replied, 1.-THE best
thing | know is to use tobacco
stems or tobacco dust literally in
the burrows. 1t will prevent the
lice and help the cotton.
Progressive Farmer-keepI
sane; don't go cotton crazy"
Foods and feeds !" must be the
slogan. Keep up your paintings
in the garden, so that you may
be assured of plenty of fresh
vegetables all season.
It would help any community
for the merchants to rot have in
stock vegetables to sell. Many
a home garden would be apt to
flourish then. Families must
have fresh vegetables during the
entire year to accompany bread,
bacon and cowpeas; and their
garden some one elSe's-
must furnish them.

that will help you at home.
Make the most and the best of
your living in a section of the
world, when seasons are long,
giving one ample time to lay up
lots of good things to eat for the
lonesome winter months. And
above all you have ample time
and opportunity to raise and save
an abundance of food, thereby
helping your country in the big
fight now prevailing. This is the
serious part of this article. Raise
lots to eat, folks, or suffer with
troubling dreams of the dear
soldier boys going hungry.
Last year our cabbage and
collards were badly mutilated by
the worms. We failed then to
spray these plants. This spring
we sprayed many different vege-
tables with arsenate of lead.
Can't find any worms nor bugs
now, and the cabbages are just
starting to head. Spraying Irish
potato vines with this liquid
checks the potato bug and puts
it out of commission. 1t certain
ly pays to spray the garden vege-
tables. Bordeaux mixture and
arsenate of lead are the leading
spray mixtures. The Bordeaux
gives health to the plant. The
Lead arsenate poisons the eat
ing worm or other insect that
bites the plant.
Last week being Child Wei
fare week, Mrs. Sue Stuart
Brame, of Jackson, Miss Meddie
Robinson, of Brandon, and Mrs.
Watts Webb came to Florence
last Thursday, to the delight of
every body, and held a Child
Welfare meeting in the AFTERNOON
in the school auditorium. The
children of the community were
there assembled to receive the
happy benefits flowing from the
gathering. The crowd Of grown
ups was fine. The good women
above mentioned. took affairs in
hand, and said some helpful
things. Mrs. Brann's address
was said to be a most splendid
beautiful and helpful one. We,
regret one unavoidable absence
from this gathering. or we
would say much concerning the
effect of the. talks. At the close
of this meeting the large body of
young folks. none over 10 years
of age, paraded from the, school
house to the business part of
the town-a beautiful sight and
there broke ranks for their re-
spective homes.
The good, industrious women
OF the Florence Red Cross are

days. They occupy the lower

doing sewing making garments
for the Red Cross. They are as
busy as bees. It will be good

The play is funny of itself. the plot
being so laid as to invite no end Of
comic situations. It is artistically I'M
tertwined with just enough of love
and romance to give it the personal
interest flavor. But it is designed for
q funmaker and it certainly fills the
bill.
The players are all people seasoned
to the stage and with ample reputa-
tons back of them in their profess
sions. VIM. ]. Keighley will play the
part of Ambrose Peale. He was for
many years associated with the fa>
nous Ben Greet, and he has played
in numerous New York successes.
James Mitchell will play Rodney Mar
tin, Miss Jane Brae will be Mary
Grayson and Lowdon Adams plays the
part of Ellery Clark.
It is a riot of fun from the kickoff
to the touchdown. There is not one
dull or lonesome minute in the play.
The action is very rapid and rushes
from one set of perplexities into worse
ones with a speed that keeps one
guessing. 1t is the brightest picture

how to deal with these with bare
knuckles, in blows straight out from
