IN MEMORY
Of Burdeaux Francis
Arnold, who Died
Sept. 10th, 1919.


Little Burdeaux has gone,
Another flower, the pride
And JOY of father and mother
Is taken from earth to heaven.
Blessed Burdeaux she has left us,
On this earth no more to dwell.
But we know that she is resting,
With Him who doeth all thing,
we'll"
We on earth no more shall see her
But the angels are her guide
And we know that she is ever
Near the blessed Saviors side.
We will miss her by the fire side,
We will miss her from her play,
But we hope some day to meet her
In that land Of endless day.
All her precious ways and sayings
Are for us but stepping stones"
And each step will only lead us,
Nearer our eternal home.
In our minds shall always linger
Memories of her little form,
As we some day hope to see it,
ION that bright and cloudless
morn
One by one the Father gathers
Choicest flowers rich and rare,
And transplants them in His garden,
They will bloom forever there.
She is blooming, brightly blooming
Mid the fairest flowers of light,
In the garden of sweet Eden,
Where the flowers never blight.
Farewell little darling angel,
Rest-on His bosom where YOU lie
And we all will come and meet you
In the home above the sky.

COTTON SEED EMBARGO
HALTS OIL BUSINESS

JACKSON, Miss. Dec. 2. (Spl 1.-The
oil mill industry in Mississippi is at a
complete standstill as a result Of the
government embargo placed on cotton
seed shipments Many Of the mills
have closed down and laborers are seek
ing other employment. In spite OF the
strong appeals that have been sent TO
Washington for modification of the
embargo, mill managers see little hope
for relief especially in view of the fuel
restrictions for Southern territory, is
sued from the national capital Satur-
day.
According to mill managers here,
thousands of tons Of cottOnseed stored
at local stations will spoil within the
next few days unless they are moved to
the mills and put through the crushing
process. The seed left the gins In poor
condition, owing to the unfavorable
weather for cotton picking during the
past 80 days. A majority OF the seed
houses at shipping points are poorly
constructed, and the mills have no ia
cilties for the proper care Of seed
stored at these points
The cotton growers of Mississippi are
also up against a serious problem as
regards seed for planting purposes next
year, Tempted by the high prices,
many farmers sold off their best seed
gathered in September and October, and
practically all seed that has CONF,
through the gins since that time is Of
inferior quality owing to bad weather
Only a few Of the mills have stored
choice seed to be sold for planting in
the spring,
