JONESVILLE Jonesville, Sept. 29.?The protra -ted me^tinfr at the Baptist chui ch closed Sunday niprht. Kev. Lewis M. Rice, the pastor, had preached onct a day for fourteen days and his s Tmons were all of a hijrh order, b th stronpr and forceful. As he will ot preach here next Sunday, he pre^cj ed a peace sermon in accordance \9 th the request of President Wilson tlat on that day prayer and supplication J be made all over the country lor peace to come to the nations at wir. 1 Brother Rice's sermon Sunday was a masterful one with an optimise prophecy that peace and greater perity would dawn upon our gr&nt country in less than two decades. Such as has never been witnessed before. Ilis faith is founded upon the Great GhI that rules the nations in his own good time. We had a good rain over this country last Friday, the best since last April. The war over the Atlantic and the price of cotton has been discussed in so many phases and it brings no peace and relief so T believe I will let that matter rest so far as my communication is concerned, for I really don't know what will be the result or outcome. As 1 said in a former communication T have seen the downfall of men, of towns, communities and i most every instance prosperity follows adversity and so will it be on to the end of time. Mr. John Fowler, who lives just out in the country from Jonesville, one night last week while his wife was sick made a bed down on the floor and after retiring he heard a noise on the floor which he thought was rats and he got up and made a light and found two large pilot snakes coiled up together with their heads reared up . about eight inches high and lookii ; very vicious, and the next day i"1 | found another in the same room. Mr. E Fowler managed to kill the snakes. It would seem that Mr. Fowler had better plant less cotton and start up a snake farm. Mr. N. R. Kison about the same time had a boy to bring ur some corn tops and in the tops lit found a cat and a large pilot snake: he killed the snake and set the pooi ci1 * free. Mr. D.L. McLaughlin and little soi r>f Panolot- snout Sundav evening iv It Jonesville. The "buy-a-bale" plan has nol reached our town yet but some of oui ! merchants are offering: to take cottoi at ten cents on accounts or in trade A few bales were sold here straigh last week. I had a little experience with buying: a bale of cotton in tinv of our civil war. 1 bought it early ii the year '<>2 at 7 cents in Confcder ate money and sold it in '05 after th< close of the war for !"> cents in green i The new ginnery erected by t& I Jonesville oil mill company upon til spot the old gin stood before it wl burned less than three months iifl 2 is running and turning out a Jfifl | sample of lint. V tTie L'dTintry and can gin and pack J I bale of cotton in less than thirty n^r>' I utes and put the seed in the custom | er's wagon or they will buy the see I and pay the highest prices for them. Mr .Sam Porter moved with hi* family from here to South (ieorgiu last week. Mr. Noah Buise and family moved from here to GatTncy last week. The small child of Mr. and Mis. G. L. Stone died last week and the remains were laid to rest the following day in the cemetery at Gil-ad. I Mrs. James Fowler is very >ick at her home here. I Mrs. Addie Hames who has been in j poor health for some time i> ttuch improved and is able to attend church. II Mrs. Jane Hughes who has lately moved to Jonesville and is living with I her daughter, Mrs. 11. If. O'Shiehls, is u! quite sick; she litis paralysis. ^ Mr. Simeon Thaekston of baffney II is the guest of his son, X. S. ThackI ston. I Once more for my plan of warehouses. I am opposed to taxing the to build ire n oral warehouses ? but every farmer have hi* own warehouse aiui a very small one will lo most farmers, lie can put up their V cotton in their own warehouses and 1 insure it just as well as they can .1 a general warehouse. A farmer near V Jonesville has had his >n j ginned and put in his own warehouse ? land insured and carries i own keyi & I and he is just as well pr< '( ted a- he \ would be if his cotton was a , n\ eral warehouse and there 0 midr die man to pay.

Some men lose tne nest opportunities ever offered them lookin jr for the "Nigger in the wood pile." when he is not there. Cotton is worth 8c per pound when we write this. Our offer of last week is still good for a few hales of cotton to the farmers of Union County only, who need CROf'ERIES, FEED STUFF or TAD EE SUPPLIES Of an if Kind, and that offer was unconditional. with no strinr/s or impossible conditions, and means the same as cash to us. We offer to take not more than? One Bale OF 1 COOD MIDDLING COTTON ' Fnon One Each of Twent if Fa nxrs of Union Countu AS 10c Pound 1'aying for the same ten cents 1 per pound in any article or ar1 tides that we sell, and as nearly every item of Heavy Groceries t ami i'ced Stuffs come to us Dili ?>:' lading attached this is the e same to us as paying cash, and 1 means to us a contribution of ' from ten to fifteen dollars per j hale to begin with to the cause' | of the farmers' welfare and the IIprosperity of the business and progress of Union County. MIL EABMER I GET BUSY! and if you want us to hold twenty bales of cotton to help the cause, and to invest $1,000 in lyour behalf at a loss to us of $150 to $200 unless we can succeed in making cotton bring 11 cents to 12 cents within the next twelve months, you will have to act now as we may have to withdraw the offer without notice any day. In evidence of our faith and real desire to help as many of our farmers as possible, we have made this offer without strings, and a 500-pound bale of cotton will do just as much for you, if you act today, as $50 in cash will do.
