W$z iiamtserg ^eralti ESTABLISHEl) APRIL, 1891. Thursday, Feb. 21, 1918. The Dutch weather prophet says that this will be the earliest spring the South has experienced in 51 years. The Dutch prophet is a prognosticator of no mean proportions. He predicted several weeks ago that a cold spell would arrive on the 16th, and sure enough it came on time. We trust that his prediction about spring will be equally as accurate. The national food administration has evolved a plan whereby a farmer may procure flour without the necessity of purchasing corn meal or other flour substitutes. - Instead of purchasing meal, which he can easily secure by carrying his own corn to the mill, he will only have to secure a certificate from his miller stating that he has h^.d so much corn ground into meal. He may take this certi\ ficate to his grocer, and upon presentation is entitled to purchase an equal weight of flour, not, however, in excess of a half-barrel. This is a wise amendment to the food regulations, as it would be quite silly to make a farmer, who has a barn?or maybe several barns-?filled with the best corn in the world, buy that of which he has a plentiful supply. 9 Things have not gone so well after all with the Germans in Russia. It is just about as well for the rest of the world" that Russia does not happen to have any real statesmen at the present time in power; for if Trot\ zky, Lenine, et al., had any diplo/ matic sense they would have known , that Germany would not consent to any such arrangement as they presumed and started to carry out. They said they would not sign peace formally, but would just quit fight. ing. But Germany says she shall either absolutely make peace of keep \ on- ,?ghting. wen, neie? uuym6 that .they keep right on jawing about it. Russia is done for any % way, but if she keeps on hanging fire it will give the Germans something else than removing her armies out of Russia to think about. The Herald has Secured the exclusive rights in this territory for ' the publication of Sergeant Arthur j Guy Empey s famous book "Over the Top." Publication in installments of this intensely interesting narrative will start in the near future. It is acknowledged to be the most sensational series yet written about the present war. Sergeant Empey served for two years at the front until he' was put put of commission leuc even is win ue uu gramme. We recognize that short ? ? terms and still shorter salaries seriously handicap the best efforts of | our rural teachers, but join in this our first demonstration; better things will come bye and bye. Yours for better educational conditions, PAUL REDDISH, T. A. ROBINSON, C. H. JONES, Committee on Arrangements. Due to the Clock. . N Mother (to Frank)?How is it that you are late home nearly every afternoon? * _ - , i % Frank?Well no wonder; we've got such a big clock in our school. Mother?Why, what has the clock to do with it? Frank?'Cause it's so big it takes the hands an awful long while to get round it. If we had a clock like papa's little round one I'd get home a great deal quicker.?Youth's Companion. According to a report by the American consul at Geneva, Swiss livestock quotations near the end of 1917 were: Oxen, each, $230; hulls, ' $170; cows, $260; calves,$180; young pigs, $14; sheep, $14; fat hogs, per pound, 32 cents. / I Abduction is Charged. I John Craven, a white man. wasj arrested in Bamberg last week on! a charge of abduction. The charge j was preferred by the authorities of j Milldn, Ga., who asked for the! arrest, which was made by Chief of | Police W. G. Kirkland. Craven was lodged in the county jail, awaiting j the arrival of the Millen authorities! to carry him back to Georgia forj trial. It is stated that Craven is charged j with having deserted his wife and i children and the* abduction of a young girl. The authorities here were told that Craven was thought to DorviKorflr Tho wli prpahnuts UtJ ill uauiubij}' ? "v ? ? of the girl who is alleged to have been abducted by Craven is not known. The officers here have no information as to the young woman being in this city. The officers here were notified that the sheriff or his representative from Millen would arrive in the city on Saturday to take the man back to Millen, but they were later notified that extradition papers had been applied for, and as soon as they were issued, the man would be taken to Millen for trial. In the meantime Craven is held in the county jail.
