Notice TO Pensioners

Owing to a deficit in the State
Treasury, it is not expected that
money will be available to pay pen
sions for the fourth quarter before
January 1st. but the banks Of the
county have kindly consented to
pay the warrants and hold them un-
til the money is available.
Our banks have never failed to
show their appreciation for the boys
who wore the gray, and no one
knows better than | the number OF
hearts that are made glad on ac-
count of this act of kindness on the
part of the banks.
There has been considerable
confusion and trouble in mail
ling pension warrants, many OF
them being lost in the mail. and
others falling into the hands of dis
interested parties, and for this rea-
son | am requesting that pensioners
either write, or call me by telephone,
or have some of your friends to do
so, and the warrant will be mailed
to the proper addresses.
Pensioners in the Amory territory
should take their warrants to the
Bank of Amory and the Security
Bank of Armory, and those in the
Aberdeen territory should take their
warrants to the Monroe Banking &
Trust Co., the First National Bank
or the Commercial Bank & Trust
Co.
/ appreciate this kindness on the
part of the banks, as it relieves a
very acute situation.

South's. Solid Prosperity

Cotton is king, bat it no longer
needs to go to New England to
enjoy the full fruits of sovereignty.
During September the number of
spindle hours in Massachusetts was
less than the number for August,
while in the South the number for
September showed a substantial in
crease over the preceding month;
the total number of spindle hours
for the South was 1862 900, 900 more
than for all the rest of the country.
The decrease in Massachusetts was
more than offset by the increase
elsewhere with the greatest increase
shown in North Carolina. The South
is coming into constantly growing

Let Us Have Peace

The conference of nations soon
to be held in Washington will come
near the deciding the question OF
whether or not we. are to have world
peace in the future.
The call for a limitation of ar
maments and the settlement of the
far eastern question is clearly a
move in the interest of a contin-
uance of peace. It's results are yet
to be determined.
Politicians all over the country
have aired their views on the sub
ject and newspaper editors have
printed volumes for the edification
of their readers The subject has
been thrashed out from every angle
with the result that the whole ques-
ton is enshrouded in a mist of
doubt and uncertainty that is sorely
puzzling to the people.
So great has become the confu-
sion and uncertainty engendered by
the dissemination of unauthorized
versions that Secretary of State
Hughes has called a diplomatic
halt. He wants the handling of
the questions at issue to. be left to
the delegates appointed by the pres
ident for that purpose. In other
words. he doesn't want any mon
key wrenches thrown into the ma
chinery by novices.
He is right 1t is proper for the
press to report the proceedings of
the conference in details, but edi-
tors. Washington correspondents
and politicians will do we'll to re-
frain from unnecessary comment or
suggestion.
The wise man knows when to
keep silent. Only the fools toots
on forever .-Corinthian.

Would Be Dreary Wilderness

As for unmarried women, what a
dreary wilderness this earth would
be without them. In thousands of
homes the maiden sister or aunt is
the very angel of the family the
children's idol. the secret wonder
and delight even of those who too
unscrupulously use her; by sick
beds and deathbeds a divine con-
soler; the depository of the tender
secrets of blushing hearts; the I'M
wearied friend of the old. and the
poor, and the lonely. Old maids,
indeedl With sertain obvious ex-
ceptions, they are the the very salt
of the earth, the calm and clear
light of the household that is so
blessed as to own them; their dis
tinction, to be wanted by everybody;
their reward. to be useful to every
body; their home-the suggest,
warmest place in the hearts that
can love. And if they have niche
to fill on earth as none can like
them many of them shall have a
crown of surprising brightness in
heaven. Bishop Thorolds.

to the bitter dregs and gain nothing
for her outlay, except International
jealousy and hatred. Before the
