SWIFTON.
On the afternoon of August 10, 1914,
the Death Angel visited the home of
Dr. Justus, and claimed the wife and
mother, Mrs. Florence Justus (nee
Wooley). Mrs. Justus was a mem
ber of the M. E. church, South, and a
worker in the Sunday School and
Home Mission as long as her health
was such that she could attend to
same.
She was bedfast such a short time
(From Thursday until Monday) that
it yet seems we ought to see her
sitting on her porch at night, with
some kind of work in her hands, and
a pleasant word for all who come
near. Her sufferings seemed all that
human flesh could undergo till God
stretched forth His hand and said,
“’Tis enough”, and her spirit took its
flight. She realized that she was
going to die and manifested a regret
at leaving her two little children—
she felt that her companion, could
battle with the propositions of life
much better than could two little,
motherless children.
She was a kind neighbor and a
woman that had many friends. The
sick about her never lacked for at
tention that she could give and she
was ever ready to lend a helping
hand to the needy.
One neighbor rightly said of her.
“Miss Florence just lived for her
childrenl and husband”—her life was
not self-centered.
Now, the shadow of gloom has
crossed the threshhold. and leaves
within an empty chair. The foot
steps of mother have ceased to re
sound, and oh, they’ll miss her at

Sadly they will miss the mother
hand that did the thousand and one
little ministering things that turn a
dwelling place into home. The voice
chat on earth is stilled, leaves a void
that cannot be filled for the childish
grievances cannot more be healed by
the word from mother and the magic
couch of her hand.
And oh, such a loneliness when
life’s companion is flown forever!
Sometimes ’tis hard to say, “Thy
will be done,” but God knoweth best,
and His judgment surpasseth all.

BATTLE AXE.
Our muck and sand road promises
to fill a long-felt need. Since the
rain, the pond dirt (hard pan mostly)
has hardened and settled, forming a
hard, smooth road in most places.
Seemingly, about all we shall need is
to increase the layer in depth and
width and use the drag after rains
a few times. The road we now have
is a vast improvement over our for
mer heavy sand road and is eliciting
much favorable comment from those
who see and use it. The question
now, is, who sugested the plan? And
many are wondering why it was not
tried years ago.
Many are trying late cultivation
on cotton, running through with
shallow plowing to stimulate
growth of the plant and destroy the
abnormal crop of young grass, weeds
and vines that have sprung up since
the rain. You may observe here in
several fields cultivators plowing in
cotton, where you might expect to
find pickers, there being enough cot
ton open to afford good picking. No
one is picking however, as far as
I am informed..
J. W. Lindley has sowed all the
millet he could obtain and now has
teams breaking land for rye. Per
i sonally. he now seems to be a regular
i sawmill hand, as he leaves home for
1 the mill or woods early each morning,
(taking his lunch and we see him no
more till about sunset.
We are beginning to hope the re
cent rain will benefit cotton more than
we expected. T here seems to be a
rapid formation of squares near the
top, which should furnish blooms as
early as September 1st to the 10th.
Cotton growers here consider that
blooms appearing at that time have
a. good fighting chance for mature
bolls before frost.
With all this, though, our cotton
crop will be exteremely, very ex
tremely light, and that, taken in
connection with the present price of
the staple, and the European war to
check the demand and lower the
price, is enough to make the farmer j
look straight down his nose and won- i
der how he is going to make both j
ends meet.
R. F. Tyer and J. A. Lindley spent
Monday in Newport.
C. A. Tyer has just overhauled Gus
Craige’s gin and is now doing a simi

IN MEMORIAM OF L. J. HUFF.
Departed this life August 14. 1014,
L. J. Huff, aged 33 years—years full I
of glory. He has gone to hi.s re- I
ward and the picture of our dear one J
memory will never discard. We will j
miss him in the years that are to !
come, while he prays for us in heaven,
calling us unto his home.
O, the weary hours without him;
O the sad and dreary days. We will
miss his loving ways. Nevermore to
see him smiling. Never more to hear
him cal!. Never more to feel ca
resses that he cherished over all.
Ye3, we know the sun is shining, j
sending forth its light of day. But i
our lives are dark in sorrow for the j
dear one called away. Dear one if :
we could but call you back into our j
home again, feel your hand and know |
your presence it would banish every
tain.
But the darkness gives no answer j
and the lips we loved so well are clos- i
ed in silence and cannot utter the j
sweet story they would tell of the
angelband in heaven, where hia
soul in glory waits for the day when
we are summoned there beyond the
golden gates.
You will live on dear one, in our
memory evermore, while you pray
and wait to greet us, there on the e
ternai shore. All our love ana our at- t
fection still belongs dear one. to you, !
and we wait for that reunion that \
poor mortals cannot view.
