siderad an expert at it. He is sta
tioned on the east coast at present
but expects to be transferred to
France very soon.
Mrs. Frankie Kimberlin, of DeVall’s
Bluff, is visiting relattives at this
place this week. She was formerly
a resident of Jackson county and
taught in the public schools of the
county for several years.
Hon. Fred R. Suits was called to
Bradford in White county last week
to assist in the War Saving Cam
paign. This week he was requested
to go to Augusta in Woodruff coun
ty to help in the cause at that place.
These calls are not only compliments
to Major Suits personally but also j
reflect credit on the patriotism and
good citizenship of Jackson county.
Wherever Mr. Suits has addressed
the people, whether at home or else
where, he has been well received and
the results obtained at the places
which he has visited shows that his
, work is effective.

Otto Herrington, and Chas. P. Cook

agreed to have the building ready for

/ Before another issue of this paper
t the town will have elected officers to
serve during the ensuing year. Very
little interest has been manifested as
yet in choosing them. Most of the
time during the past few years fac
tional fights have been made in choos
| ing the officers. This should not be '
! indulged in. The people should get
i together and decide who would best
! serve them and by so doing uphold
j the dignity of the law and give the
town the very best service possible.
When such men have been chosen
let them be elected. However, as
long as men hold secret caucuses and
attempt to elect men who have sel
fish motives in mind this cannot be
done. Elect good strong representa
tive citizens and permit them to en
ter into their official duties without
being handicapped by former prom
ises and let them use honest and fair
judgment in dealing with all matters
pertaining to the business of the |
town and better results will be had
in the end.
Mrs. R. H. Runter and little daugh
ter, Mary Wilma, returned home

some members of the school board
relative to a position in the local
school.

suddenly Tuesday afternoon at her
store. She fainted and fell to the
floor but was revived in a very short
time.
A banner was offered by the Meth
odist Sunday school last year to the
class that had the greatest per cent
of attendance during the year. Mrs.
O. A. Jamison’s class won the ban
ner, which was received recently and
delivered to the class last Sunday.
J. A. Strider and family motored
to Jefferson township last Sunday
and spent the day with friends.
The past week has been an ideal
one for farm work in this section.
The weather has continued fair and
warm. Farmers have been extreme
ly busy plowing and some have been
planting corn, Probably never in
the history of this section have th^jf
been further advanced at the time of
year than they are now. Unless con- >
ditions become very unfavorable la
ter crops will be planted earlier and
in better condition than they usually
are. However, just now a good
seasonable rain would be very
ficial and very acceptable.
