UNION GINS NEW
CLEANING PROCESS

A Signal reporter ambled around
by the Farmers Union Gin the other
day and found the forces all in oper-
alton. The three Ds, Dennis, Darby
and Eayis. were hitting the ball in
full swing They have ginned nearly
1000 bales there this season and still
going three days a week.
They have recently installed the
latest improved triple cleaning ma
chinery and the results are highly
satisfactory The first unit takes out
all the sand and dirt the second
cleans the cotton OF oil sticks and
trash and the cotton comes to the
ginstand with absolutely no foreign
matter except some OF the hulls and
there goes through a machine that
removes all hulls and part OF burr
and the lint comes ut white and
clean. This machinery takes the un-
open bolls and delivers the lint in
first class order and II Is estimated
that this lint is at least two grades
above what could have been produc-
ed without this new process.
Mr.. Dennis. the manager says they
are now prepared TO serve their Gus
toners better than ever before and
in fact up to the best standards 70
be found anywhere.

Thomas Monroe and II filled our
hearts with sadness TO think OF his

Thomas was sick until a day or two

would be glad 20 help you. Thomas
was always seen at church and Sun
day scrool and was willing altho
Young 10 stand for the right. He was
liked by all who knew him, and the

Give Them the Flowers Now.
Closed eyes can't see the white roses;
Cold hands can't hold them, you
know;
Breath that stilled cannot gather
The odors that sweet from them
blow.
Death, with n peace beyond dreaming
Its children OF earth doth endow;
Life is the time we can help them
so give them the flowers now!
Here are the struggles and striving
Here are the cares and the tears;
Now is the time to be soothing
The frowns and the burrows and
fears.
What to closed eyes are kind sayings?
What to hushed hearts is deep
vow?
Naught can avail after parting
So give them the flowers now!
Just a kind word or greeting,
Just a warm grasp or a smile
They are the flowers that will tighten
The burdens for many a mile.
After the journey is over.
What is the use OF them; how
Can they carry them who must be
carried?
Oh. give them the flowers now!
Blooms from the haOpy hearts gar
den.
Plucked in the spirit OF love;
Blooms that are earthly reflections
or flowers that bloom above.
Words cannot tell what measure
OF blessing such gifts will allow
To dwell in he lives OF many;
So give them the flowers nowl

Barney j. Stavely-Deld.

Barney j. Stavely-Dead.
On Tuesday, ebruary Is. 1921,
there occurred, on the street of Flu
wanna, terrible tragedy when Barn
ey Stavely lost his life from pistol
shot.
The deceased was the third son OF
Brother and Sister John A. Stavely
OF Fluvanna, Texas. Brother Stavely
died a little more than two years
ago.
Had Barney StaYely lived TO March
81, 1921, he would be 2S years old.
The subject of this article was one
of the best Of the young men OF his
community He professed faith in
Christ and united with the Presbyter-
ian church Of Fluvanna some ten or
twelve years ago. The Stavely family
are all members OF this church and,
the parents having, for many years,
been devout people, Barney was
brought up in Sunday school and
church. Thus, from early childhood
he had been a regular attendant at
church services. He was orderly, at
tentive and well behaved at church.
II is true he became involved in
trouble some three years ago, but
there is abundant evidence of the
fact that he had fully repented OF his
part OF the error committed. Those
who have been closest % him, during
recent years, declare they never
heard him use foul language or say
hard things about any person. He
had a Y NJ. C. A. New Testament, OF
army style, which he often read and
usually carried in his pocket He has
frequently been observed reading the
Bible for several hours at one sit
ting.
Barney was an agreeable member
of the large and highly respected fam
lily to which he belonged. He was
especially considerate of and devot-
ed to his mother, now twice a wild
dow
The high esteem in which the sub
ject of this article was held, together
with the well known and highly re-
spected family, was well attested by
the presence of more than 800 peo-
pie who attended the funeral SER
vices, held in the Presbyterian church
Wednesday at $3.50 p. m. Some thir-
ty OF these being prominent people
from Snyder.
The noble spirit of this young man
was beautifully symbolized by the
wreaths and cross of lovely flowers
which adorned the casket, the same
being provided by many friends.
The broken body lies in the family
'ot near that of he sainted father;
while the immortal spirit is in the
company OF that OF the father in para
dice, he Beulah Land. into which
cline sorrows and affliction will
never be admitted
The State has lost a worthy citi-
zen; the Presbyterian church.
young man of high purposes; and the
family beloved son and brother
whose place can not be filled.
In the midst OF such deep sorrow.
let us look up TO Him who Is both
able and ready to supply an ample
measure OF grace.
