1922-1923
Tlie year just drawing to a close has
been a trying one. Failure of the prin
cipa: money crop, due both to weather
conditions and insect damage, has
brouglh t about serious trials. Farmers
and business men alike have sufflered.
SimlIa r conditions have only been
equalled in recent years by those of
the year precediig.
While present conditions may seem
depressing, it is well rccogn ized that
conditions mittiglt have beetn worse 111(1
tiaL the fituret holds out a more prom
ising i prospect. Diversification of
far-I products this year was witlout
doubt a wonderfu l Ielp to the county.
Tihe large giniti Crop, both large ati
small grain, went far toward alleviat
ing conditions tiat would ha.ve been
almost disastrous wdIhout them. While
the gross income from cotton was
small this year, the outlay for Ied and
forage was proportionately small. The
expense of farming was thereby pro
portionately reduce(I to much advan
tage.
Tite lessons of the past year, both Iin
diversillcation of farm pioducts and
control of ithe boll weevil, will be val
gable tle coming year. h'lhere is rea
son to believe that the vast outlay of
past years for grains will In future
yea's be greatly reduced. It may al
so he confidently expected that the
figlht against the )oll weevil will be
more elective in the future for the
farmers are learning his ways better
eacl season.
I'lte coming year should see a turn
In the tide'of prosperity In thItis section.
Tlere is ample foundation for' o)
timism.

chaplain, 'who had previously seen the
condemned man in the death cell,
graslied his hand firmly and spoke a
few words. Jeffords at first said
he had nothing to say, but did leave a
warning to others. "I hope my death
will be an example to all those in
here and those oil the outside," lie
said. He repeated the Tweity-third
Psalm and said lie was ready to meet
his God. After this lie apparently had

It was on November 25th, 1922, that
the white winged messenger came and
bore the beautiful spirit of our much
loved sister, Mrs. Laura J. Wharton,
to the beautiful home beyond.
'Not only will she be missed in the
homes of her children, but she will be
greatly missed in the church for she
was always ready'and willing to do
anything for the cause of Christ.
Therefore, 'we, the members of tlge
'Missionary Society of the IWaterloo
Baptist church, do oier the following
resolutions:
tFirst, That our Missionary Society
has sustained the loss of the coipan
Ionship, the sympathy and the person
al help of a Rind and loving friend
a woman of noble heart.
Second, That we humbly bow to His
will, and while we keenly feel our loss
that we rejoice with her, 'becapise she
is with the Master whom she loved so
well and served so faithfully.
Third, That we extend to her devot
ed chiildren and grandchildren our
deepest symipathy and pray that they
may all be reunited in that heavenly
home where the family circle will
nevermore be broken.
Fourth, That a copy of these reso
lutions .be sknt to the family, the Bap
tist Courier and the conty papers.

Overcoming Sleeplessness.
For SI('lelessness a supper of fresli
lettuee leaves, whose juice contains
a powerful sedative, will induce a
Sound, refreshing sleep. Another
soporofte is the onion. which, stpwed
aind enaten lust tling, answers the
double piuimrse of promoting sleep and
curing a chili.
