Lear we
have just lost our little boy, nearly
2 IL years old. His name was Wood
row Truman. 1 wanted to name him
FELTON,. 1t is such a treacherous and
deadly disease, that 1 desire you
shall warn the mothers, through The
Journal, to be on the lookout for
and to inform themselves about it.
1 did not know knew nothing
about it until it was too late. My
darling told me all the week that he
was tired, but did not complain in
any other way.
He seemed to have only a cold. He
had a dry, rasping cough. 1 doc
though he grew worse, it was only
Thursday night that he was sick
enough to cause alarm, and he died
Saturday morning.
If you are familiar with this dread
disease, tell your Journal readers all
about it, but if you are not familiar
with it, get information from doc
tor or a bulletin, which anyone can
get by writing to the state board or
health. Tell them something OF the
disease and urge them to send one OF
their free bulletins and read all
about it:

HOW the Cotton Slump works
Dear Mrs. FELTON,: 1 have been
reading your letters in The Journal
for twenty years. | here wish TO
good letters, also my great esteem
for you, as one of our best writer's
and our noblest spirits in this age.
Sometime. ago you wrote anout
the slump in the price Of cotton ton
I have failed to find the article. l
was impressed by what you, wrote
On the slump in cotton and how it
would affect the farmers. -
I am now going to relate a CIR
cumstance which occurred in this
community:
called on a family yesterday
who had made a trade with the
misunderstanding a mule from him
on credit, and promising to pay
two bales of 32tton of cotton rent;
half of another bale, 1t took two
bales to pay the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
bale went for guano.

merchant and feed for his mule

and the family is in sore need Of
clothes. They have next to moth
ing but three children. There are
numbers of such cases all over this
On Sunday last there was fu-
quite cold to go out barefooted--but
there were little en- children naa,o there there
not able to buy shoes.
Yet we are urged to buy shoes
and clothes, and we are asked to feed
and clothe the children of other
countries, when our own race are
thus bare of clothes and good food
to eat. There are plenty around
US that fail to go to church because
they are ill-clad and destitute.
The situation is getting alarming.
I see some of the leaders are brag-
ging that this country is prosper
Gus. 1t is not true in my section.
Such a calamity like this has not
come to the south in a long time. /
felt like I must write and tell you
how much good your letters have
done me, and here's hoping you
may live many years yet, so you
can continue to write for us, your
inspiring letters.
