Death of Mr.. J. F. White.

On June 4, 1922, the dark angel Of
death entered the home of Mrs. ]. F..
White and claimed for it's own her
| loving husband, Mr.. John White.
He had been in i'll health for some
time However, death was sudden
and unexpected. All the children and
their families lowered over the bed
of their dying father, and all that
medical aid and loving hands could
do, was done, with no avail. He fled
to the Great Beyond like candle 60
| ing out, not struggle, not MUIR
muir, but like the sun going down.
He was born on Apr. 10, 1856. He
| had lived a Christian life for many
years, and Number Seven loses a no.
BILE citizen, a kind neighbor and a
faithful friend. He was married to
Miss Cordie Smith in 1884. To this
union were born 10 children, and he
has gone to join two in Heavenland.
The ones that survive him are as fol-
lows: Mrs. Jettie Pruett, of Wood
land, Mr.. Will White, of Union City,
Mr.. Ellie White, Mr.. Plummer White,
of Mount Pelia, Miss Allie White, of
Memphis, Mrs. Lucille Taylor, of
Number Seven, and Mr.. Garland
White and Miss Mota White, who as
yet have not left the home tie.
Weep not, ,heart-broken one, for
the Heavenly Father doeth all things
well.
Funeral service was conducted
by Rev. Paisley at $3.50 o'clock at
Stanley's Chapel and the remains
were laid to rest under a mound of
roses there.
Your head and stay
Is called away,
And you are left alone.
Your husband dear,
Who was so near,
Has fed away and gone.
1t breaks your heart,
It's hard to part,
With one who was so kind.
In wisdom ways,
He's spent his days,
And you're left behind.

The Sunday School Baseball League

The man, men or boy who proposed
the Sunday school Baseball League
sure hit the nail on the head, so to
speak, and everybody is delighted at
the good, clean sport by the boys. Per
sonally l prefer a game between our
boys, schools or neighboring towns
to one by professionals. The former
show as a rule the school or town spi-
rit while the professionals work more
like a machine set in molten. The
games we have had SO far are noted
for the kindly feeling and lack of
wrangling. There never was a place
for the latter. Some of the games
have been terribly one-sided, due to
some of the teams superior strength,
yet the games go on and are enjoyed.
Like everything else, there is great
space for improvement and l beg to
mention one of the biggest gaps
have noticed. They set 4:3O as the
time to begin. They seldom start be-
fore 4:45, then the worst of all is the
waste of time during the game. They
seem to lack pep, ginger or "get-up."
In changing from at the bat to the
field they will throw, pitch and drag
along like men of seventy years, all
of which to my mind is the fault of
the umDire in not calling a halter
promptly. Tuesday afternoon the
game lasted for at least two hours
and thirty or forty-fve minutes,
which will kill any game on earth.
1t lasted so long that the umpire
called in a substitute while. he could
go to supper. The game should have

Good Clover.

No bad results have been reported to
the State Veterinarian office as a re-
suit Of animals eating widowed clover
either green in the field or dried in the
form Of hay. We personally know Of
quite number of animals that have
eaten it without any bad results. 1t is
the opiniou of the writer that this
mouldy growth on the leaves OF red
clover is harmless to live stock. This
opinion is based Oh the writer's pro-
fessional knowledge of moulds or mil
dew in general and their relation to
producing diseases in animals indirectly
through the medium of the feed. We
advise that the clover be cut and cured
for hay as has been done in former
years when the mildew was absent

A Kind Act.

Last Sunday afternoon one of the
prisoners at our Jail silently ex-
pressed his gratitude to one of our
teachers who had few days before
taken two of her pupils to visit them,
by slipping dollar to her while she
was handing him some literature.
Somebody did a golden deed;
Somebody proved a friend in need !;
Somebody sang a beautiful s. ng;
Somebody smiled the whole day long;
Somebody thought, 'Tis sweet to
live;"
Somebody said, I'm glad to give;"
Somebody fought gallant fight;
Somebody lived to shield the right;
and we can, too.

Mr.. Ryan respecting sums owed to his

half of the unsecured debts. made the
proposed questioning unnecessary.
In response TO other questions put by
Mr.. Miller bearing on the values and
whereabouts OF his assets the bankrupt
broker said that he had received about
$4,000 OF the one-ffth interest I'm his
mothers estate and estimated that the
settlement of pending matters affecting
the estate would not bring more than
an additional $4,000.
Inquiries concerning nifty shares of

broker had once owned and which could
not be found by the receiver brought
from Mr.. Ryan the reply that those

LIGHTER TRADING

Closing Prices Slightly Lower
After Market Fluctuates
Within Narrow Limits.

Less was done in yesterdays cotton
market than In any other day so far
this week. There was tendency TO
even up outstanding commitments be-
fore the issuance of the Government re-
port next Friday. and for the most part,
the market fluctuated within narrow
limits. Maintaining a steady undertone
throughout the day, the market was off
to 10 points at the close as result OF
little belated long selling by locals. The
markets ability to stand up so well be-
fore that liquidation was surprising.

belt and caused renewed anxiety over
the Texas crop. which needs moisture
badly. The Department Of Agriculture's
weekly report said that the crop had
made poorer progress or had continued
to deteriorate in most sections of the
belt. In the last week II had been
somewhat too cool, especially at night,
In the most Eastern states and extremely
hot until the latter part OF the week

of lo.3220o0 bales, while A. Norden &

What is Conservatism?

NONSERVATISM is caution without tirnid-
ity; respect for experience without feel
ing that nothing good remains to be
discovered; demand that proof be submitted,
accompanied by hope that proof can be sub
mitted.
According to these definitions, The New York Life
Insurance and Trust Company, with nearly a
century Of experience behind it, is conservative
institution. 1t is therefore peculiarly adapted to
execute Personal Trusts and other Trusteeships.
whose successful execution calls for sound and
balanced judgment and proven stability.
