Wednesday, October 16 B*i a big: bond buyer. The war was "Made in Germany" but peace will never bear that im print.. Wilhelm will have the distinction of being the last emperor Germany ever had. It appears now that our boys will hang up their stockings in Berlin Christmas eve. We do not know how it is for 'pos sums but it is rather dry for the ! persimmon crop. The hens of this part of the coun try have turned pro-German. Not one is adding to the food supply. Be a genuine hero at home by purchasing liberally and loyally of Liberty bonds. The campaign will close Saturday. Hindenburg's boast of reaching Paris has been turned into a wail for peace. And doubtless he is curs ing the Yanks for his fate. The influenza put the circuses out of business in short order. To that .xtent, a very small degree, it has been a blessing in disguise. President Wilson has now close to 2,000,000 trained men in Europe to .nforce his demands. These ara omi nous figures for the Kaiser. The average school boy who is en joying the unexpected vacation does not care how many times a year his school is visited with an epidemic. The apearance of things abroad is already making us think and talk of the home-coming of our boys. Then we'll ail sing the Doxology with the utmost enthusiasm. Have you practiced preparedness in providing fuel for the approach ing winter? Don't wait tiil Jack Frost is at the door before your fu t? needs are supplied. The king of Italy has conferred upon the three leading American gen erals the Order of Cavali?re di Gran Groce dei S. S. Maurizzio e Laz^.aro. An unspeakable honor. i'he Germans seem to have plan ned their peace plea to interfere with our fourth Liberty Bond campaign. Will we permit this ruse to be a suc cess? It wiil be, unless we buy bonds. If you want to ''salt down" some thing for a "rainy day," let it be a Liberty bond. No danger of any de preciation in value. Oh the contrary, they will doubtless command a pre mium after the war. After being homeless for more than four years, it seems that King Alfred of Belgium can soon return to his own, his native land. But not to his throne. Xo more thrones in Europe after the war. Many wells in this section are as empty of water as are many of Ger many's powder magazines. Doubtless the Huns are wishing for some of the ammunition which the Crown Prince wasted in his six-months attack upon Verdun. The German treasury is so much depleted nov/, to say nothing of the billions of indemnity that will have i to be paid, that they will probably | sell us their much needed potash at ? before-the-war prices, instead of ex torting unreasonable prices. It has been said that the Kaiser has cursed his mother for his physi cal iniirmity. He may yet go a htep I further and curse the day ho was j born. The milis of the gods arc said to grind mighty fine, and they are now in full operation grinding out his fate. While Pershing is pounding tlu fleeing Huns, let the people at home pound them with a six-billion-dollar bond-issue-blow. Our leaders in Wash ington and our boys in uniform will be disappointed if the bond issue is not fully subscribed. It can be easily raised if every person will DO HIS PART. Have you done yours? That threat of the government to fix the price seems to have parallized the cotton market, dealing a blow from which it is not easy to recover. Sit steady in the boat, however, as continued holding will finally bring an increase in the price. Thirty- cents cotton is cheap cotton, considering the price of everything which has to be purchased with cotton money. Ruin in Wake of Retreating Huns. Being unable to take with them the coal in the mines around Lens, France, the Germans devastated the surrounding country so that it will be probably two years after the war closes before any coal can be mined. It will be at least five years before the usual before-the-war quan tityof coal can be taken from these valuable mines. This is only one of the hundreds of instances where the Huns have left untold damage, and in some cases absolute ruin, in their wake. And yet these despicable peo ple seem to expect peace with honor. Stamp Out The Influenza. It has been a long time since such a scourge as the Spanish influenza visited this country, and while the crisis has been reached in some sec tions let us not relax in our efforts to check the spread of the disease. Fresh air is said to be one of the best means of fighting the disease. Keep yourself as strong as possible with nourishing food and then stay away from other people, crowds, as much as possible. See that every part of the home has all of the fresh air possible. By a strong, concerted eff ort the laity can assist the physicians in stamping out the disease which is now dreaded by everybody, as com plications seem to be not easily avoided after the disease is contract ed. Use every pound-not ounce of prevention possible. Card From Mr. Norris. I have bought the Fire Insurance business and expirations of of Mr. J. T. Harling and will renew all the policies as they expire on his records. I have carefully looked after the in terest of our people and trust they will feel that their Fire Insurance is in good hands. I have obligated to pay $1,000.00 for the said business and hope by renewal of all the policies to come out in two years and will greatly ap preciate the full continuance of the Harling policies as they expire. E. J. NORRIS. Ofncial Notice of Percy Ouzts' Wound in Battle. October ll, 1918. Eva W. Ouzts, Edgefield, S. C. A telegram has been sent you to day reading as follows: " Regret to inform you message from abroad states Private Joseph Percy Ouzts, Marine Corps, was se verely wounded in action September seventh. Xo particulars available but see general information mailed you today. CHARLES G. LONG, Brigadier General." Watering Horses and Mules. There have been many plans adopt ed for watering horses and mules some say it should be done before and some after meals- but evidence indicates that ii makes little differ once when horses and mules get wa ter just so they get all they need. A good plan is to water working ani mais in the morning, again about 10 A. M.. theil btfore-fceding at noon, again after the noon mea!, then about -1 P. M., and finally before feeding at night.-The Progressive Farmer. Fully Explained.-A tramp knock ed at a farmer's door and called for something to cat, "Are you a Christian?"asked the good hearted countryman. "Can't you tell?" answered the man. "Lock at the holes worn in the knees of my pants. What do they prove?" The farmer's wife promptly brought out the food, and the tramp turned to go. "Well! Well!" exclaimed the far mer. "What made those noise in the back of your pants?" "Back-sliding," replied the tramp as he hurried on.-Christian Herald. "Mamma," said little Marion, "do men ever go to heaven?" "Why. of course, my dear. What ma?ces you ask?" "Because I never sec any pictures of angels with whiskers." "Well," said the mother thought fully, "some men do go to heaven, but they get there by a close shave." AU Farm E-jild:ngs Should Be Insured. There is hardly a farmer in the South who does not call to mind seme brother farmer v/ho has lost an uninsured dwelling by fire. In a great many such cases, the farmer suffer ing the loss did not have enough money to replace the building and friends went about the neighborhood taking "subscriptions" for him. And such occurrences are not a thing of the past. They are an almost daily happening-and in counties that have mutual fire insurance as sociations. Most farmers are willing to help an unfortunate neighbor, but they expect a measure of co-operation in return. When a farmer has refused to join a fire insurance association, he has refused to help, through the organization, any unfortunate bro ther farmer. How then can he ex pect sympathy and financial aid from the farmers he has turned down? It pays to join a mutual fire insur ance association; and if you are not a member of such an association, Mr. Farmer, join one as soon as you can. -The Progressive Farmer. "What kind of meat have you this morning?" asked the henpecked hus band of the butcher. Best steak we ever had, sir; it is smooth as velvet and tender as a wo I man's heart." The husband thought it over for a moment and then said, "I'll take j sausage." He-He's one of those fellows who read up on things and then insist on 'talking about them. She-Well that beats the fellow who insists on talking about things without reading up on them. - A FINE . FARM FOR SALE-A 309 Acre well improved, farm near Trenton, on the Augusta Road.
