Interesting Letter From Route 3
Editor Sentinel: As I have
seen nothing in your interesting
paper from up in this corner for
some time, I thought I would
write you some of the happen
ings of this section.
Everybody is bwily behind
with their farm work in conse
quence of the continued rainy
weather. Peavines and most all
kinds of hay are still lying in
the fields as it was mowed. The
greater part of the cotton is also
in the fields, and by the contin
ued damp,warn weather a great
deal of corn is sprouting in the
fields and scarcely n'o grain has
been sown. But in the event of
a week's fair weather a great
change will be made.
Some sickness prevails at, pres
ent, but Dr. Robert Kirks-.v is
exerting his efforts to relieve ihe
unfortu'nate.
The all-day singing at Moun
tain Grove Sunday was attend
edl by a large gathering of peo
ple,andI fine music was rendered
b~y the different leaders and con
gregation.
A great many fronm this see
tion attended the Barnum and
Bailey show-Saturday. All en
joyed1 themselves andl had an all
round good time. The street
parade alone was considered
worth the admission fee. From
appearances it was represented
by at least eight or ten counties,
but good order seemed to prevail
throughout the entire day. Res
idents of the city remarked that
it was among the largest crowds
evor seen there.
The death of Mrs. N. S. Mose
ley last Tuesdayv cast a gloom
over the entire community. She
was one of our best women. She
exercised great judgment in the
management of her' farm and
other affairs, having been left
by the death of her hgsband for
more than 'twenty years with
her seven children to raise, and
raised them all to the habits of
industry and morality. A good
woman is relieved of the cares
of this life and has gone to re
ceive the reward promised those
who doeth the Master's will.
I guess I had better quit for
this time for fear this disinter
esting article finds its way to the
waste b~asket.
Mr. and Mrs. A. F. McCord, of
Liberty, celbrated the fiftieth
anniversary ot their mrarriago
Monday, October 25.

Drugs Scarce, Prices Soaring
The enormous increase in the
price of drugs, due to the Euro
pean war, is causing the drug
fists everywhere much concern
Many drugs are practically off of
he market and some of the large
wholesale drug houses are trying
;o buy up the surplus supplies of
scarce drugs all over the United
Mtates. Only last week the Pick
ms drug stores received letters
rrom a large New York house
wanting to buy their surplus
:]rugs of several kinds. As the
public is greatly interested in
this we reprint below an article
From the Atlanta Journal of Sun
lay:
The var situation has caused

he reLiSoI for Ile rise in th0
price of bronides is due to the
fact that bromlides are used ill
ma king explosives and also use(d
in the nianutfactitre of tihe poison.
Ous gases Ised1 by both sides in
the EuIi roucan war. The advancc
in quinine is caused from the
fact that Germany before the
war lianufacturnel about a
third of the (luinine supply of the
world. This is now shut off an(
Europ . is therefore coming t(
the United States to get.,its sup
ply. In addition to this there h
much diffheulty getting the barb
from which this (gainine is mread(
to the United States from South
America.
"Carbolic acid and salicylate;
are used in making explosives:
and the sharp advance in these
articles is credited to the fact
that the English government hay
placed an embargo upon them.
There are large quantities of
glycerine made in the United
States, but on account of the
fact that European nations are
coming here for their supply,thc
price of this article has gone tc
unprecedented high levels.
"I elieve never before ha
there been and never again will
there be such conditionls as now
prevail in the chemical trade. It
takes the full time of one m'an
at our house to keep up with th
various changes in the price of
chemicals.''
