STONEWALL COUNTY
IN SPLENDID SHAPE
Recent Rains Have Been of
Untold Benefit to all Crops
Worlds of Feed
King: Cotton is doing well and
■will nearly double the crop of
last year.
The crop outlook in Stonewall
county is on the up grade. The
farmers of the county, with very
few exceptions will make plenty
of feed to do them. It looks now
like the cotton crop will be double
what it was last year. Of course
a great deal depends on a late
fro6t. If Jack Frost will stay
away until the middle of No-
vember we will make worlds of
cotton. Jim Habn was down
Brazos Valley last Saturday
looking for cotton pickers. He
says that the Valley has two
hundred bales of cotton open and
they would like to have a hun-
dred cotton pickers. The? Young
Men's Booster Club sent an ad to
the Semi-Weekly News at Dallas
notifying the world that Stone-
wall county wants cotton pickers.
Jim Hahn says that there is cot-
ton in the Valley that would
make a bale to tbe acre and we
don't doubt it. Come to Stone-
wall county Mr. Cotton Picker,
where is higí^id
morning dews, no chills nor
fever . Altitude 2400 feet. Pure
atmosphere, cool nights and
days. I'll tell you that old Stone-
wall county is sure on a boom.

interesting topics were discussed.
Tee next meeting, October 3rd,

An Error.
In last week's paper we said by
mistake that the Stonewall Asso-
ciation would meet at Center-
view in October. We should
have said Wednesday, Sept. 27th.
Remember tha$ tbe morning
trains will be met at Oriana
Wednesday and Thursdav and
the evening trains on the
same date will be met
at Jayton. Don't forget the
place and time of meeting. Tbe
brethren are expecting a large
attendance and a great meeting.

The Christian Meeting.
The Christian revival is still in
progress and will close Sunday.
Brother Billingsley organized a
church at this place and at this
writing have a membership of 38.
Has received 16 by baptism. We
understand that the church will
build a church house in the near
future. Brother Billingsley is
still doing some powerful preach-
ing and is ably assisted by Broth-
er Reynolds. Both have made
many friends in the city. Large
crowds attend each meeting and
much interest is manifested at
each service. Brother Billingsley
has promised the congregation
that if they will build a house of
worship that he will come back
in the near future and hold an-
other revival. The people will
indeed be sorry when these
brethren leave Aspermont and
the good wishes of all will go
with them.

Destructive Birds
Wild things become easily
frightened at unusual occurences
among themselves which they
cannot understand. One year the
black birds were very destruct-
ive of growing things and we ea-
sily got rid of them by stringing
corn. We soaked the grains till
they were soft and then with a
stout needle and linen thread
shrung them in groups of three,
with about One foot intervals of
thread. These Were dropped an*
und in the fields. Three or four
of the birds which swallowed the
strung corn being uuable to get
rid of tbe dangling thread made
