PROFITABLE FARMING AGENT MEETING
 WITH GREAT SUCCESS
Many Invitations Extended A. Gent to Attend Meeting Held by Farmers.

The enthusiastic cooperation of the farmers with Mr. c. E Carter, county agent, is a source of satisfaction to the merchants that are backing the movement. Almost every day Mir. Carter is out of town at tending meetings on profitable farming and his presence there IS by the request of the farmers who are holding the meetings.
 Sections of the county that the merchants had thought would be unconcerned are dis playing the deepest interest in MT. Carter's plans.
 On account of the advanced season many planters have land already in cultivation that they would have planted under the agents direction had his ser vices been secured sooner. How ever much good has been done in the way of producing pea nuts, etc. Most gratifying of all though is the friendly spirit that is being established be- tween farmer and merchant.

 SENIORS HOLD
 UNIQUE DINNER

The junior and senior Latin classes at the high school, under the direction of Miss Katherine Murphey, Saturday night at the high school, in what was pos- sibly the most unique. banquet ever given here, enacted the l famous feast of Dido to Aeneas described in the Aeneid. The theme ef the scene was admir- able carried out in every detail. The guest all wore the costume of the age which the banquet represented, and took a reclin- ing position at the table.
 The menu was as follows:
 Ambrosius Fructus Oleae Delectatio reginae Dona Ceris Caelests Mixtus Dominae Digit Daleia Frusta Nures Fal- ernum uinum.
 All of which was very delicious and tempting as can easily be seen. The feast began with the diners reclining about the table. The men servants then passed the water and towels. Dido toasted Jupiter, and Mercury appeared. Bitras toasted Bac- chus and the three graces ap- peared. Anna tG Juno, and there came Iris. Aehste taast- ed Venue and Cupid appeared, Julia to Apollo, and there came Tepsichore. Flora toasted Diana and came Pan. Rosa to Minerva and the Eiblyl appeared. Amye mia to Neptune and came Triton. Cynthia to Fortuna, and the goddess Fortuna appeared, Dido to Anena and tie Queen Dido came. Aneas then replied tt Dido. Stella toasted Aseanius, and Aseanius replied. Cornelia to Trojans and Menestheus re- piled. Livia to Trojans, and Por- tia replied. Cloanthus to Comus. Lesbia to Morpheus, and dreams sspeearesd, Thus ending the feast.
 Scroll programs Were used as favors, and were presented with roses. The table was lavishly decorated. Only ignorance pre- vents telling in English what Nas sa the table beside decora- tionS.
 The above clipping is taken from the Pine Bluff Commercial. Miss Murphey has been at the head of the Latin Department of the pine Bluff High School since her graduation from Randolph Macon, Va. where she won a prize in a Latin contest over two hundred young lady competitors, She is the grand daughter of Mrs. 4. J. Wiisen if this city and has visited in Mon- ticello many times. Her many friends here will be delighted to hear of her continued success.

IF YOU DID YOUR BIT
 YOU MAY ALSO WEAR THE INSIGNIA OF HONOR,
Deep Meaning Of Buttons And Chevrons Brought Home To Americans.

A good many Americans are wearing the Croix de Guerre of ,ne French Government. Every man who wears it earned it. There are others who are wear ing the Distinguished Conduct Medal and the Military Medal of Great Britain. The Britisher does not give away Medals as an act of politeness. Scores of our troopers are wearing the Dis tinguished Service Medal of America, the highest award America pays to the valor and high courage of her soldiers. It goes without saying that these medals were earned.
 The man who went overseas, will, all his life, have the priv ilege of wearing the ribbon that tells of his service. He comes back wearing his service stripes, the bit of cloth that tell, each bit of six months spent in the great est hell in the worlds history, the old western front. Every soldier honorably discharged from the service wears upon his left sleeve a scarlet cheyron, the size and shape of those given for service abroad.
 These are honorable badges, every one of them. But are they any more honorable than the Liberty Bond button worn on the coat lapel of the civilian who stayed at home and made up the Army of the Home Front" All these badges and chevrons, these buttons and stripes tell of honorable sacrifice and service. The difference in degree of sacrifice and service is in favor of the fighting man in most cases but without the loyal backing at home the army would never have left the home port of debarkation. The man at home who bought Liberty bonds and backed up the host in khaki made possible Chateau Thierry, Cantigny, St. Mihiel and the Woods of Argonne. Without him there would have been no sweeping through Grand Pre-. No second Battle of Sedan, no turning back of the Hun rush at the second Battle of the Marne.
 Take pride in your Liberty Bond Button. Wear it and keep it. It is a decoration that for the civilian takes rank with the service stripes of the over- seas men. Those of the Fifth Liberty Loan are just as signi- ficant and just as important as those of the earlier jeans. They tell the same story of Service of 100 per cent Americanism.
