C.t under Postal Aci ot March 3, 1879. August 11, 1915 The outlook for the cotton market is not what we would like to see, but it could be worse. There is great difficulty in ship ping to Germany and Austria because of the English blockade, but it is claimed that the Allies will use enough more than the normal supply to balance what Germany ordinarily consumes. Cotton is extensively used in the manufacture of ammunition, and the Allies will doubtless use more than they ordinarily do, but how this increase will compare with the usual German supply we are not in position to say. With a crop four million bales shorter than last year, and with <a1 T T me unnea Mates government ready to aid, it seems that conditions should not be so bad after all. "We are inclined to take an optimistic view and hope for the best. We still contend that the people will be in much better shape this fall than last, even with cotton as low. We have prepared to live at home. Very few editors read over their papers after they are printed, we believe. It is not a very great pleasure to look back and see that one has sent broadcast over the community the state merit that aik interested parties will meet at such and such a church on Thursday when it should have been 'tltesday, that John Smith is visitingr^^^^^^. Someplace when he. ' home several -davs,' thai Joe Brown's name was spelled Jo brown, that Rev. So-and-so is from Columbia when it should have been Darlington, that Mrs. Julia Wiggins is improving when she is really at the point of death. The editor finds it more pleasant to remain in blissfull ignorance of all the errors and to express profound astonishment when his , attention is called to them by , irate or amused readers. , Most newspaper men consci- { enciously strive to keep their ( papers free from errors, but when ( one's best, under the cir- ( cumstances, has been done { there is little good in look- , ing back and digging out more ( worry, just as if there had not < been enough already. A lawyer < or a merchant may conceal his ( mistakes, a doctor may bury his, 4 but an editor?well, he just takes 4 his cussin' and forgets it as soon 4 as possible. 4 Mr. and Mrs. Little Entertain ( Monday night Mr. and Mrs. ^ Dan Little entertained a few * friends in honor of their house * guesis, Misses Veima and Lucile Mcintosh. Games were played, and later all repaired to the dining room where cake and cream was served. They were assisted in receiving and entertaining by Miss Netta Clark and assisted in serving by Miss Velma Mcintosh and Mr. Harry Redfearn. X Fine Lads. There was an Irishman who lined up his family of seven gigantic sons, and invito^ w ?u V aivu 1119 | caller to look at them says The i Argonaut. - i "Ain't they the fine boys?" ^ inquired the father. * "They are," agreed the visitor. < "The finest in the world!" ex ^ claimed the father. "And I { nivver laid violent hands on any ( of them except in self-defense." ( * w '<d * A < " ;T" ' * % .? J Resolutions of Respect, The death of Mr. J. C. Dal s rymple has doubtless saddened the heart3 of all who knew - him. This is written in 1 reverence of his memory and i attainments as a co-laborer in - God's vineyard and a true law 1 abiding: citizen. He cultivated but few of the ' light graces of life, always plain, 1 simple and direct in his modes ^ of habit and thought. His many acts of kindness fell as the dews j of heaven unseen and unfelt. He was self possessed, good 1 tempered, meek and patient, c with an expansive, genial heart that looked much to the welfare i of others, and was ever ready 1 for their sakes to sacrifice his r own. o He was a laborer with us in God's vineyard for six years, 3 always prompt and orderly, his p conversations always pure, tl agreeable, interesting and profit- h able. tc Therefore, be it resolved, that the members of Cross Roads church desire to express their appreciation for his faithful end efficient work, t\ "Resolved, that we extend to n< his bereaved wife and family our heart felt sympathy in this sad bereavement. If we keep the faith we shall see him again for there is no death. The stars go down to shine upon some fairer shore, and bright in Heaven's jeweled crown tliev shine for evermore. We may well morn the death of such a young man, full of strength, power, promise and unfilled possibilities, but we all must bow our head beneath the touch of death, but may we exclaim. "Oh, death, where is thy sting." I. D. Purvis, Tames Sullivan Walter Woodard B. F.
