We had a storm here Sunday after
noon, not murh rain, but wind. and
how it blew 1t was quite damssing
to crops, the way we look Mt it. We
have just started plowing again, after
having been idle for week 1gain
For two weeks they have been tied Up
most Of the time. "Laying-hy" is some
distance off yet, because Of tn; en-
forced tie-up of blowing opera Ions.
Then there is much late com in places
to hold us some time yet. Gr.,Ss Is
still in much of the crops. 1t : card
to kill, with the same Old CONF 1int
plows have been stopped too mu>h.
There is request thGr the mem
bership of Salem Baptist cnur"h meet
on Friday before the 2nd 7,Hd.v IL
August, the object being r c'eaN t.
the church grounds and ccmetcIy ~
are expected that ill coma acd tafe
part (your duty. and feel better. be-
cause of it. The ladies ma; cone ani
have a little picnic lunch CT tn
grounds, and the work will be light.
Remember.
Also, it Is announced that pro
tracted services-it is hoped, revival
will begin at this (Baptist) church
on the next regular preaching day,
fourth Sunday in August. The pas
tor, Rev. w. A. Stephenson, is not
expecting to have any other preacher
but hopes to get the services cf reg
ular trained gospel singer to lead the
song services. There are two deacons
awaiting ordination, and this will very
likely be on that day, and a program
may be arranged for that service The
public will KEEP this in mind; as the
invitation to attend is yours.
Many of the farmers are still cham
mering" at the boil weevil, and they
are increasing. They are running the
expense of making cotton still higher
The expense in way is added by the
loss of time from other work. l, my
self, am learning a lot about them
first hand. The government can out
line a work plan for us, but we must
get out in the field with it. / have
learned something that I never heard
from any expert or socalled expert
/ have been trying a doctors plan OF
trying to remove the cause, and there
by cure-or very near-the effect. Al
ter a rain at night / went next day
and looked in the white blooms, and III
about seven hours l got 72 live ones.
and if they had just begun their career
calculated that I saved $500
squares. There is where you can find
many, md killing one husky hlrL
she'll, means considerable saving.
l have been on the tip-toe of expec-
tation for through and-through and
up-and-down, and m all-round good
time when the fifth Sunday in July
rolled around and brought the meet
ing of the Baptist Sunday School con-
vention to its date; the place Hebron
went, and found things pretty much
as in some years back-many of the
same people (though there was much
vacant room) and the same generous
hospitality, the religious, social min
CLING of the people, and from all parts
OF the country. There was a large
crowd present. believe the largest
that ever saw at Hebron, and there
was plenty of dinner for all. The
speechmaking was good, and quite a
Int of it, and not at all tiresome.
Good singing was feature The choir
OF the Mon-Aetna church was there,
and led in it. This choir is coming
into publicity, and many know what to
look for. These meetings come only
on fifth Sunday, and those deeply in
terested in church and Sunday school
work don't know what they are miss
ing by absenting themselves.
am glad to see articles in The
Times from Homo. We are, if he re-
members, used to be "cronies," as we
writ together" some years ago, be-
fore ne went from Lockhart to Ches-
ter, and | have been entertained at
his home on several occasions. When
was at Lockhart last I did not see
him, and did not have time to 20 to
his house, but inquired about him
Write on, Homo, / like to hear from
you, because, one thing / guess, |
Know you, and you have gift at it,
that makes an article crisp. And
right here, / will say that would like
to hear from many " no seem to have
quit entirely. Hey Denver.
