Little pitchers not only have long ears, but wide mouths sometimes. One of these is in Buffalo, and when the bell rang the other day, she went to the door, where she found some ladies. "My dear," said one, "will you please tell your mother that we would like to see her?"

Som prophesied there would be a killin frost after the rain we'have had, bu if ~f:n - -ii .. ... >b is atiii warm wnn no irost to hur anything in this section. This has been fine time for savin] hay and there has been lots of al kinds stored away for the winter. I have seen a few silos built in th county. Mr. Tom Cunningham ha built one on Mr. G. M. Jordan's plac in the Fair Forest section this seasor There hasn't been much grain sow: yet, but every farmer ought to so\ just as much as ever. Now don't le the price of cotton keep you from sow ing small grain. We should all lear a lesson. The price of cotton has bee: good this season and let us not plan too much next year or we might tak less next year. I had the privilege of going to th Baptist church at Jonesville Sunda; and I was on time for Sunday schoo As soon as we entered the church w were soon recognized by the preache in charge, Rev. L. M. Rice, and w were invited to take part in the Sun day school lesson, which we did am we enjoyed this. I will say that thes good Baptists have a good Sunda; school. This house is not as large a it should be nor is it a new one, bu they have their departments an* classes all separate. This is done b; the use of curtains drawn across th house on wires, and it was well or ganized. There was no confusion ii hearing the classe? arranged this wa ana in trying to teach without an; divisions of the room. I heard two speeches from Messrs W. C. Palmer of Alabama and R. E Webb of Spartanburg and surely en joyed these talks. Also meeting thes good Baptists, for they made me fee so welcome in their church. I attended the Union county fai two days last week and enjoyed look ing around and seeing the exhibit which were good. I think the ladies department was as good as I ever sa\ it. There were several school repre sented in the floats, and all were good If I had to be a judge to decid< on the best exhibits it surely wouli have been hard for me to decide. The Cedar Hill school and the Com munity club of that section had mor old relics than any of the others. Som old souvenirs were over 100 years am some 125 years old. I like to look a such things. Well, we could tell a whole lo1 but we will make our letter too Ion) and I will not tell it all this time I may tell something else next time. Everybody was sorry it rained, i kept people from attending on som of the rainy days, but let us look for ward to a better time next year. The colored fair will be on thi week at the same place. The whit people are invited one day. Guess will go. While in Bogansville township las week I stopped at the home wher Mr. J. T.

Some of the mrmers are going to gather corn this leek and prepare their land for sowijg ^heat and oats which every l'armf should do, but the price they are Aceiving for their cotton will can-. Aost of them to plant a big crop of Mtfon next year and another big crop nd then next fall starvation prices mr their cotton and big fertilizer bids Qid supply accounts to meet and fhoy *11 be in the same fix they were in I list fall. It seems that experience i (fces the farmers no good. IJmo-ss (. tton declines considerably ?ve v-.ll git more for a 12,000 000 bale crop tni year than w got last year for a 17,000,000 bale crop and we have got a s'Vjd grain crop to gather. We will have plenty of advise to not increase our cotjon crop next year, but while many will not, three to one will increase thinkincr then is thoir Hnm t*. I make their "haul." I believe the best * jmliey will be for all to advocate to < plant all their land in cotton and let < all fall in the ditch together, for many ? will not watch and see who will not it increase and if many do not then they < I will plant all cotton. Many of the all- 4 0 cotton man are now saying, "1 told ^ you so." They We reaping a golden * harvest at the expense of others- ? 0 which is not strictly honest. They remind me of a man a few years ago d when we had an election for dispene sary or prohibition and he was running a blind tiger at that very time. iThere is no serious sickness on the FaUge just now that I have heard of. The fourth quarterly convention of y the Kelton circuit met with the Flat | u Rock congregation last Saturday and j e Sunday there was a fairly good atL_ tendance of the official board of stev. y ards, but their finances did not come up to the 12 cent cotton, but it was r very good. The presiding elder was 1. on hand and preached two good ser5. mons. His text on Sunday was, "He That Knoweth to Do Good and Doeth It Not is Sin to Him." G. T. G. JONESVILLE .Jonesville, Oct. 25.?One who is fat miliar with the OUT Testa niPnt 1 tures will not be at all surprised or alarmed at the great European war for these scriptures tell us of continual wars with the different tribes and kingdoms and why should we * think it strange that there is a great a war in progress. Jephtha's army killed forty and two thousand of the Ephra ? mites along the banks of the Jordan r in one day, a pretty, good slaughter of ^ men irt one day at that remote period. T Our Savior told the people plainly when j he was on earth that there war and rumors of /wars T^HHrnes and earthquakes in divers places, but the end was not yet, so the ^ best thing for us American people to do is to make all the food and s bread stuff we possibly can and have ? 1 enough for home cpnsumption and , ~ then make all the cotton we can for J the foreign spindles and then the for- > j eign wars will not hurt us.
