"O w in g to the war~ I-" Good night! Al the well diggers around here seem to be sick. The Garden of Eden was evi dently a fall garden. This European war is remark able for the number of officers killed. That "decisive battle" is <er tainly taking plenty of time to make the decision. If this thing keeps up it will be necessary to add an "e" the German army corps. Talk about German atrocities just wait till the Russian Cos sacks enter Germany!

We saw a Southern newspa per the other day that did not give the farmers any advice at all as to what he should plant next season, nor how much. "Buiy a Bolt of Cotton Sheet ing" is the name of a ladies' club organized in North Carolina. Not a bad name, and "'eyery little bit helps" the cotton situa tion.' "A wounded European soldier told an army surgeon he had had nothing to eat but oats for more than a week," quotes an ex /change. Sow more oats. Mr. Farmer.
