lone) Saving Pnees on Wire Fencing
With the advent of the boll weevil
nd the scarcity of labor it is very
ecessary for the farmers of Wilamsburg
county to begin making
reparations for changing their farmlg
system. The boll weevil doesn't
tean that we will have to quit growxg
cotton.but it does meanthat the
creage per plow will have to be reuced
to a considerable extent, and
lat we will have to grow more grain
rops ana raise mure uvcsww.
aise livestock it is absolutely necesarv
that we have good pastures uner
durable fencing. Lets fence in
ood pastures and not have to wory
about the boll weevil when he gets
ere in numbers nest year.
Below are good prices on both
merican and Pittsburg wire fencing,

umber of farmers, we have been
bie to get the wire fencing much
aeaper than you can buy it on the

OWES HAPPINESS TO AIR R.^
Famous Correspondent Thus Led
to Romance
(By Patrick O'Flaherty)
London, Sept. 25.?An air i
, romance culminated in an inter
! tional wedding on September 13,
the famous old church of St. Mar
in the Wimbledon section of Lone
when Miss Olive Stokes, the beai
ful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.
Stokes, the fo -mer a retired offii
of the Great Western Railway, \
married to Hayden Church, ofr ye
one of the foremost jpumalists
Great Britain.
The story of their romance g
j back to the dark days of the autu
j of 1917, when the war was far fr
j won and London was being rek
lessly bombed by German aircr
Mr. Church at that time lived in
Russell Squire section of Londt
West end, a district which suffe
with especial severity from ene
bombs. At the beginning of Sept<
i ber 1917, there came a week w!
the moon was nearly full and wl
enemyaircraft raided London
seven consecutive evenings. On
first night of this dreadful w
bombs landed 200 yards from ]
Church's hotel. On the secondnig
St Pancas railway station 400 ya
away, was hit three times. On
third night, a so-called airraid si
ter, not far off, was hit at midnii
and 99 raid refugees were killed o
right.
The evenings became such t
Mr. Church, who, like many news
per men, has the night-working 1
bit, was compelled to give up
work and spend his evenings wait
for the terrific hubbub of the nigh
raid to cease. The situation was i
without its element of danger
well, for falling bombs give no wa
ing before they strike, and at t
moment the roof over one's hi
might vanish in a twinkling fron

/Inct Ana tine in the mOOnlirf
The result of the solid week
raids was that Mr. Church bet<
himself to Ealing, a suburb west
London in order to resume his ha
of utilizing his evenings for turn
out the short stories and magaz
articles which have made his na
wellknown in London Literary <
cles.
It was here, at his hotel in Eali
that he first met Miss Stokes, w
on September 13, became his wiff
With the outbreak of war, ft!
Stokes became a V. A. D. nurse
the Southall Military Hospital, ap
which she held for upwards o
year, afterwards joining the staff
the ministry of munitions, where
has filled a number of responsi
positions. For some months previ
to her wedding she had charge of
