LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, Jan. 15.?The day is cold, raining and freezing. The weather prophet hit it; he said it would be freezing today. Well, we are all pretty well up on the weather, for we are likely to have one bad day for every good day at this season of the year. Yesterday was a beautiful Sabbath; seemed very much like a spring day. Many visitors were at Sunday school. Among them were Mrs. (). B. Belue and two little daughters of the Bonham community. Mrs. Belue is interested in the Sunday schools and mission work. She attends the Sunday school at the Oakland school house. We were plad to have her at the Gauft Sunday school Sunday. We welcome her any time and invite all others to ?ur Sunday school. The laprippe is prevailing in many places. A preat many are complaining of colds; some are in bed. Mrs. T. 11. Kelly is very sick at tms writing. The doctor has been attending her. We hope she will he better soon. This writer is not feeling the best in the world today. We have had a light attack of cold, but the few pretty days last week made us feel like I could get out and so Itook a drive in the West Springs section, coming back with more cold than I left with, so I am going to stay in a few days. I met many good people of the Bogansville section, stopping at the home of Mr. G. T. Hyatt. We found him in bed sick; said he had been sick several weeks. We hope when we hear from him again he will be better. We found very sick child at Mr. Thurston ISogan of the same section. We spent the night with Mr. .1. l?oyd Lancaster, where we were treated with kind hospitality. Well, there is nothing doing on the f i?ies but cutting and hauling of firowood. Wo find in some places the peonle in the country are using coal. It seems that wood i~- getting* source in some places, and some are buying coal, because, they say it is the saving' of cutting for they have to cut tii" woo') and they don't have to cut the coal. Well, prices are advancing again. Flour went olT some and now it has gained what it lost. The war has been the great cause of high prices, it seems. This war is a war of speculation. When the war broke out two years ajro it scared the price of cotton down. Now, since there has been talk of peace, the market went down, or it seems that kept the market weak. Yo and I read but we don't understanu all this speculation. I think about condition of things as I read and then again I stop to think how long will things go just like they are. I think sometimes if man doesn't do right God will fix things. Congress should look into the matter of speculation, for all this speculation is gambling. People, I have come to believe I can't be fooled all the time, don't you? Abraham Lincoln said you could fool part of the people part of the time. but you couldn't fool all the people all the time. It looks like everything possible has been done to fool the people and I think about what else is going to conie. Many prophesies have been fulfilled and we don't know what is coming next. Mr. R. F. flault, who now lives at Union, has been up to see his brother in this section. I met many young lady teachers at the Junction Saturday on their way to Union to get their claims cashed. Mr. W. CI. Trady, a traveling man well known in this section, was in thi? community Saturday. Moxy. A large deposit of potash has been discovered in the basin of Malheur lake, near liurns, Ore. Steps are being taken to obtain permission to drain the lake. The United States bought most of the sugar produced in St. Croix, Danish West Indies, during ltUo. Uxports to this country were valued at .yJ.V.),963. UGH! ACID STOMACH, SOURNESS,HEARTBURN GAS OR INDIGESTION The .Moment "l'ape's Diapepsin" Reaches the Stomach AH Distress Does.

WEST PAYS HONOR TO CODY'S MEMORY Thousands View "Buffalo Bill's" Body as It Lies in State in Denver. Cowboys Say "Good-Bye." Denver, Jan .14.?The West today paid honor to the membory of Col. William F. Cody, (Buffalo Bill). While the body of the man who had done so much to make her cities possible, lay in state beneath the dome of the capitol, troops from Fort Logan formed lines in the rotunda of the capitol, troops from Fort Logan of ttwo States, delegations from the legislature of those States, officers of the United States army, members of fraternal organizations, of which the famous scout and plainsman was a member, veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, women and thousands of children.

The casket bore the inscription, "Col. William F. Cody, 'Buffalo Bill.'" Viewed by a Vast Crowd. Col. Cody's body was brought into the Capitol at 9:50 o'clock this morning. At 12 o'clock, the hour set for the closing of the casket, the crowd was still coming. The public was held back while the family bade the Colonel farewell. With the family was "Johnny" Baker, of | New Rochelle, N. Y., who was with Col. Cody i?i his adventurous entcr, prises for many years. I Following the family, a delegation I of Knights Templar from North Platte, Neb., passed the bier. Afterj wards marched a delegation of forntci 1 cowboys. "Good-bye, Old Papd," "Good bye 1 Bill," were some nf their greetings. The guard of honor at the casket I included delegations from Colorado National Guard, the Pioneer Society. I the Elks and the Grand Army. The public again was admitted at 12:10 o'clock for twenty minutes. A line extending more than a block shivered in the cold wind, waiting for a chance to enter. Twenty-five thousand persons passed by the casket, according to estimates. Funeral Procession. From the Capitol the "funeral procession passed through the down-town streets, led by city policemen. Behind was the caisson on which rested the casket. Among the distinguished citizens in the procession were Julian C. Gunter, governor of Colorado; John B. Kendrick fnvpmnr nf W?nminr?' Howard, lieutenant governor of Nebraska; the secretaries of States of Colorado and Wyoming; legislative delegations from Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming, and Elks from Kansas and New Mexico. Bringing up the rear of the cortege 70 cowboys walked. Two of them led Col. Cody's horse, "McKinley," with the plainsman's pistols hung from the saddle horn. Several thousand persons followed the coflin to the Elks home, where the funeral services were held. Several hundred, unable to gain admission, stood for two hours outside to view the body at the close of the services. Later the hodv will he nlneort in n rock-hewn vault at the summit of Lookout Mountain, at Golden.

LOCKHART Lockhart, Jan. 15.?The basketball team of the Lockhart school has made a splendid record this season. Six Kames have been played and the local team has not received a defeat in any of these games. The fast and accurate work of the Lockhart team has been too much for their rivals and opponents during the entire season. It is an evident fact that the Ixjckhart school has a team that can easily defeat any school team in the county. In fact, the record of the team is above the average for a high school. The total score for the season is: Opponents, 32; Lockhart, 97. The score shows the comparatively strength of the local team. The hard games on Lockhart's schedule have not yet been played, however. The entire school and the basketball fans of the community are looking forward to the frames with Wofford Fitting School and the Chick Springs Military Academy. Both these games will possibly be played on the local grounds.

Half Your LSveng WitficiuS: iVloney Cost A right or wrong start in 1917 will mnko or break most farmers in the South. We are all facing a crisis. This war in Europo puts things in such uncertainty that no man can crcsco the future with any degree of ..learness. The sure and certain increase in cotton acreage means lower cotton prices next fall. Cost of all food and grain pro 'nets is high, so high that no ona v..n afford to buy and expect to pay out with cotton. It's a timo above all others to play safd; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down the store bill. A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended- TMid kept planted the year round, can be made to pay half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best five acres of cotton you ever grew!

DRIVING OUT CATARRH If people knew how the presence of catarrh is a constant menace, I they would havo none of It. It Infests some part of tlio delicately adjusted body and makes It useless, thus throwing on tho other organs more than their share of work. It affords a carefully prepared seedbed for the germs of colds, grip, tuberculosis and pneumonia. It so disarranges Nature's delicate plans as to make possible asthma, hay fever and other respiratory disorders It spreads until it becomes systemic, thus involving many organs and debilitating tho entire system with serious results. Catarrh is easily neglected, and It rarely , gets well of Itself. It needs proper medicinal correction.
