- Mrs. Rhoad Entertains Oadle Roll.
Last Friday afternoon just before
five o'clock many little children with
(their mothers began to gather at "the
home of Mrs. W. D. Rhoad, super^
intendent of the Cradle Roll department
of Trinity Methodist Sundayschool.
It was truly an interesting
| s sight to watch the bright faces 6f
5 these little tots, as they in a lan.
^ guage all their own chatted with each
otherj romped and played happy as
little birds. After an hour of social
intercourse among the older ones,
delightful cream, cake and dainty
crackers were served.
Mr6. Rhoad is ever on the alert to
\ promote the interest of this department
of Sunday-school work. Her
- annual entertainment is only one fea*
ture. Her work among the little
ones tell in^ various ways. The roll
now numbers thirty-four. They have
sent ten dollars this year to the Epworth
orphanage.
; Some one has said: The child occupies
the midst today as never before
in the history of the world. If
the world is to be redeemed physically,
mentally, morally, and spiritually,
it must be through the child.
When we realize the great truth ex*
pressed in these words we are impressed
with the importance and
} magnitude of this department of Sunday-school
work. No other department
is so full of possibilities. The
training of the child for great things
must begin from the cradle.
The Glutton's Fate.
/
First Mosquito?What's became of
our old friends?
Second Mosquito?His was a horrible
'fate. Those human beings poured
kerosene all over the place.
t!
J First Mosquito?But he liked kerosene.
Second Mosquito?That was the
trouble. He gorged himself with it
and then collided with a firefly.

The good old summer time is
about to kiss us good bye. Some
will shouts and some will sigh, but
most of us rather rub our fingers
than to fan. We rather hustle to
keep warm than to fan.
We rather sell you a whole suit,
a sweater and a pair of gloves than
just a shirt and pair of trousers, or
10 yards of nice serge than half that
much muslin and a little lace. We
hear them sing about "'Tis the last
rose of summer," "When the swallows
homeward fly," "When the
roses bloom again." To hear the
songsters bellowing all these in their
sentimental way, one would think
summer must never end. But isn't
it nice to trot along on a cool, crisp
morning! You do not have to rub
your eyes and yawn at all to look
up. At the departure of such mornings
the best weekly (Rentz & Felder
Weekly) ceased to be weekly;
we just got too wea'kly to be weekly;
But here we are again, with all
it takes to please the public.
"Sleigh" and "Buck" are in fine
shape and have at their hands a line
of goods you will be glad to see.
You are getting more money for
your cotton than you expected when
you planted it. We are giving you
more goods for your money than ypu
expected to get when you came 'to
town. We can sell you staple goods
as cheap as you bought them when
you sold cotton ?.way back at starvation
prices. The largest manufacturing
concern in the country will verify
this. So do not lose the opportunity
you have in seeing and buying these
goods. \

FROM THE FARMERS
It is generally talked "short cotton
crop." This being so, we have
an opportunity for fall crops, which
are neglected, especially neglected
by those of us who need them most.
Turnips and rape for the hogs, rye
and turf oats for the cows. These
are profitable grazing crops, and
easily managed.
A lot of clover is being planted
for soil improvement. We have seen
results that show clover on land is
equal to a toi\ of highest grade ferj
tiiizer per acre, and does not cost
| one-fourth as much. You will rej
member our chances for fertilizer another
year are poor, and we will
have to look to something else, and
why wait and depend on buying it
all? Looks like a good pea crop is
sure:?and should be saved for some
purpose.
Let us not forget the wheat crop
this year. A good wheat crop means
fat pigs, plenty milk and butter and
eggs. We buy a little bag of damaged
wheat and corn, milled up in the
west and pay a big price for it to
feed the chickens on. Many such
habits are common. Let's plant
wheat. Like other crops one will
be a failure sometimes, but plant
wheat. Plant wheat!
At Rentz and Felder's you will
find:
All kinds of turnip seed.
Rape seed.
Seed rye.
Can get clover on short notice.
