' o M any a man has obtained an id--a from reading that lead him to great ; results entire'y different from thu j expected by the one who wrote the article. The human brain is a curious I and a powerful thing. What has become of the wonderfu' , Ir ish potato crops that we once heard I would be raised this year in ordinary ! barrels in the back yards of people hemes? If thev ever mfitr?ri:di'/nd ' they failed to roach the market. The burden on the country press just at this time exceeds anything j that ever happened in the history f the publication of country shoe':.. Each and every department of the government evidently realize- that this is a time in the history of America when the value of the country papers will shew itself. Not only the government itself, but each and eve y voluntary private association in th'land is evidently convinced that mu.-ii I of the success of this country in the groat conflict of swords depends upon the information sent broaden-1 by tin little country weeklies. A visit to any editorial desk of any country paper just now will show what we are inferring to. You will find articles from ' dozens of government departments. seeking publication on this or that;! bundles of copy in behalf of the Red, Cross society, the food administration, the council of defense, both national and State, and the countless other organizations who expect to get a fair showing in the free space that is being given out. And the little country papers, though their burdens are enough to make them grown, are coming to the scratch the best they can. and doing all that they can to satisfy the faith that at last is being placed in them. And one might wonder, as to where any material profit could ever come to them, by even the added sunport of business men and concerns in the way of business advertising that is taken and paid for. Indeed many of them are fully expecting to run at a dead loss in view* of the high cost of print paper, and the high price of everything that is used in the making 4>f the newspaper. NOTICE OF SALE.

Calder, and Solon Colder, concerning the distribution of the proceeds of the sale of the Colder estate! land in Galivants Frry township now in the sheriff's hands. The land in question is the estate of the late Peter Calder, Sr., and the land was sold about a year ago. Peter Calder had made a mortgage in his life time to Burroughs & Collins Company, and this was unpaid at the time of his death. This mortgage now appears transferred t,o S. and S. L. Calder, and these claim that they used their own funds in taking it up; while tne.plaintiff contends that it was paid off with money put up by the widow. Drusilla Calder, and that it is not a valid charge if not in whole then ;n part, against the estate land. Several witnesses were examined and the hearing was continued, ir. order to take the tesitmony of several witnesses who did not appear last week. o NOTICE OP OPENING BOOKS OF SF INSCRIPTION.

FORMER HORRYITE DIES IN FLORID?, (Taken From an Ocala, Fir.., New. paper). : Our little community or Oak i bowed down in grief, for on S< p e* ber 4th the death angel came an ! took from us the soul of W. W. Roberts and transported it to his grca reward above. The deecasf d ; 1 i . I lo; r\ cunty, S C.. Se,doinl>;v :;7. is ! ">. 1! lived in South Carolina until 189-'>, when he became a citizen of Florida, living at different times in Lake Rutlcr, Gainesville, Stark? and Om'a. He died at Oak and was quietly laid to rest in the Ocala cemetery Sop1 ember oth. The writer had known Mr. Robert for several years and can test if v i that he always possessed a Christian j spirit. Ho v* as a member of the Rap- i iist chui-' h. He was baptized in 1882. Only these who \ ere intimately <\ quainUd with him can tell the story of how he stood at the battle front in he Confederate war. He was a mem- j her of the 2nd South Carolina sTge ' t'*a'n and was mustered into service early in 1 02. 1 M?. Roberts was a paofpessivc find public sp'rited citizen; he pisSesred many sterling qualities; was fully imbued with the spirit of brotherly love J and was always ready to help his i fcllcwmen at any hour and was likewise always ready to do his part in behalf of his country, the church and fraternal orders. For forty years he was affiliated with the Masonic fraternity as one >? its exemplary members; was a charter member of the Oak Griner Farm Baptist church, and his vacant pew will be greatly regretted by its faithful members. The writer has rarely witnessed such a family devotion as existed in this dear brother's household. He leaves to mourn his death a devoted wife and eleven children: J., A. Roberts, of Micanopy; W. T. Roberts, of Gainesville; R. F. Roberts, of Starke; Mrs. Agnes N. Chandler, of Ocala; Mrs. Addie J. Delia Coulter, of Rochelle; Mrs. Rosalie Haze, of Oak; and Messrs. J. S. Koberts, D. rJ. Kobcrts, M. C. Roberts, Louie Roberts, and Miss Anniebelle Roberts, of Oak, besides seventeen grandchildren and a host of friends to lament his deaths \>)t Strickland.
