STORE VEGETABLES WELL

low pit five inches deep, three feet
wide. aud any length Roots or cab
base are then placed In the pit, with
the top OF the mound thirty inches
above the surface OF the ground. A
slight covering Of straw or leaves is
placed over the vegetables to keep

Beets, carrots and turnips should al

FATHER" DUNCAN

Father" William Duncan is dead. His light
went out after well spent long life in the uplft
of men. and left the minds of those who knew
him instinctively resisting the belief that such
was possible. Although nearly eighty-seven
years of age. his great natural powers were not
impaired by time to an appreciable extent
Father Duncan was great man because of his
tendency and power to build character. And
although he may be said to have confined his
work to what may be called tribe" his
achievement was complete. No man ever lived :
at least history records none, who ever accom-
pshed what Father Duncan did He was in a
class by himself
From early manhood, he planted Christian
ity and progressive ideas into race of men far
behind the progress of time and succeeded in
making a people whose ambition and progressive
tendencies today compare favorably with any
class OF men. He sacrificed his whole life to sat-
isfy his ambition that OF building character; and
succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectation.
This is reflected in those for whom he worked.
The loss of Father Duncan is an event and
will remain a landmark in the history of man.
kind He was endowed with executive strength,
business judgment: energy and Astounding char
ity which were all needed and used in the battle
he chose to fight.
1t is difficult for those who have known him
to realize that this forceful man passed away to
the nadir Of cold abstraction and voiceess dust.
And al! they can do is to wave after him mourn
ful farewell as he enters the dawn Of futurity
Or the dreaness sleep OF endless oblivion

Florence Is Preparing
 To Celebrate Centennial

As matter of patriotic pride the year should not pass with this fact unno- ticed on the part of the citizenship be- cause of a sentimental interest in it and the importance of the study of the rec ord of 100 years from an educational standpoint.
 This event will be of great interest not only to the people of Florence and the county of Lauderdale, which also was organized in the year 1S1s but to the descendants of the early settlers of that section, who are numerous and influen- tial in Birmingham and many other parts of Alabama
 Citizens of Florence have good reason to rejoice with the coming of their city s one hundredth anniversary. for within this year they will see brought to pass many things for which the people of that portion of the Tennessee valley have labored, prayed and hoped for for a century.
 All of these things coming in the wake of Lauderdale county's $3,000000 cotton crop 1,250,000 bushel corpn crop and suc- cessful year in diversified farming and stock raising, give to the people of Flor ence and vicinity excellent reasons for their celebration.

The water power at Muscle Shoals was one of the arguments used at that time to prove the value of the lots, which proves that the founders saw a long way ahead, as Florence is beginning to realize largely on this vast asset
 One of the town lots, which sold at auction in 1918, is shown by the records to have brought sS500 which was re- garded as rather high price for town lot in those days. when vast tracts of land were open for settlement.

 "A helpful cooperation with the city government. This body must stand ready to cooperate with both city and county officers in all movements which make for progress and upbuilding.
 There should be conducted annual campaigns to make better health con- ditions, to make clean town and q 'paint-up' campaign to make the busi- ness section better looking. Civic beau- ty is a civic asset and that idea should be hammered home"

Flynn possesse ! big black horse named Dusky Pete. a thoroughbred and very fast. It was Hymns practice to go to a neighbor- hood where he was not known, ride Dusky Pete into town as if he wcre an ordinary mount and enter him iii one of the races that were the daily sport of the frontier communities.

 The faith of the fathers was justified for Florence became an important dis tributing point for merchandise and ship ping point for cotton and other products of the plantations. Large warehouses stood on the banks of the river to receive freight consigned to Huntsville, Athens, Fayetteville, Tenn, and other contempo- raneous settlements. Planters and mer- chants were rich through their trade and industry, and they built fine homes in and near Florence
 MUSCLE SHOALS THE BARRIER | Muscle Shoals at Florence was the bar l Tier.

The Tennessee river was bridged in ! lS40, and 14 years later the bridge was destroyed by a storm.
