ORDERS

Couldn't be better news than this
Sears, Roebuck & Company report
their January mail order sales were
only 8 per cent less than January,
1921.
That's figured in terms of money.
Prices have dropped much more, so
the bulk of shipments is greater
than a year ago.
This means the farmer rs buying.
That reduces stocks Of goods, in turn

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

cease 10 do evil; learn to do we'll.
Seek judgment; relieve the oppress-
ed; Judge the fatherIess; plead for
the widow.-Isaiah 1:16-17.
The sand of the desert is sodden
red
Red with the wreck of a square
that broke
The Gatling's damned and the colonel
dead,
And the regiments blind with dust
and smoke.
The river of death has brimmed its
banks,
And England's far, and honor a
name,
But the voice of a schoolboy rallies
the ranks
play up! Play up! And play the
game"

THE SOFT MEAT PROBLEM.

THE SOFT MEAT PROBLEM.
LERE is food for thought for the
farmers who have been forced
to sell their hogs at 6 cents a pound
or less, while hogs grown in other
sections are commanding three cents
more. The spread in price between
southern soft hogs and the hogs fin
ished con corn is wider than it has
ever been before according to a state
ment made at the Moultrie stock
yards yesterday by Fay Murray
member of the stockyards firm OF
Kennett- Murray & Co., Of Nashville,
Tenn, Montgomery and other points.
Mr.. Murray, whose firm handles over
four million head of hogs annually,
and is considered an authority on
hogs and markets, was in Moultrie
to meet with the directors of the
Southern Stockyards, and was en-
route to Jacksonville.
In discussing the future of the hog
industry in the Southeast he said the
only thing needed was the right sys-
TEN. "There is no doubt" he said,
about Alabama, Georgia, the Car
oiinas and Florida having everything
in their favor, but they can never
make the business as profitable as it
should be until the livestock men
produce standard hard hog that will
be acceptable in the markets. in the
North and East, and thus widen the
market for them.
''We are finding it difficult to dis
pose of our Montgomery hogs at fair
prices. Today we are selling corn
finished hogs on our Nashville yards
at more than nine cents a pound,
while we are finding it extremely diff
ficult to get orders for our Mont
gomery hogs at six cents. We have
tried every small packing concern in
the country The difference in price
is attractive and there is not any
trouble in making a sale if we can
find a new customer, but the repeat
orders are not forthcoming.
The. spread in the price between
soft and hard hogs in the last three
or four weeks is greater than / have
ever seen it before, and this in the
face of the fact that there is an
evident shortage in the number of
hogs the country over"
With difficulty in growing cotton,
but ease in growing corn in this sec
tien, the foregoing should be signifi-
cant to all.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
CENTRAL M. E. CHURCH

Sunday the 10Th was a good day
in our church. On account of the
new Centenary movement in all the
Southern Methodism an exchange of
Pastors was asked for in all our
churches special sermons to be
preached with special reference to
the Centenary movement.
Rev. Arnold of Ocilla exchanged
pulpits with Our pastor, Bro. Langs-
ton for the morning service.
We were very favorably impressed
with the manner in which he present
ed this movement and its immediate
needs.
Rev. Arnold is a preacher of no
small ability. We would be pleased to
hear him again.
The music at this service was above
the average and the special anthem
with instrumental accompaniment was
especially good.
At the eight o'clock service we had
our good friend and ex-pastor Bro.
Geo. w. Matthews of Fort Valley.
Owing to the extreme inclemency
of the weather our congregation was
somewhat smaller than usual but the
faithful ones present were we'll re-
paid for venturing out
Bro. Matthews of course needs no
introduction to Fitzgerald.
His sermon also was in the interest
of the Centenary movement. This
subject could not have been any more
intelligently presented to an audience
than the manner in which it was pre-
sented by Bro. Matthews.
Fellow members and friends if you
are not regularly attending our serv-
ices, then you owe it to yourself,
your church and especially, your ma
ker to do so. Reporter.
