Heavy Cotton Loss
Around Seagoville
I mring the recent high water
in East Fork bottom, near Sea-
goville, hundreds of bales of car-
ton belonging to Seagville men
were lost. It is a matter of im- i'hey d
posibilitv to get a complete li t; where; t!
of those who suffered losses of, they fa!!,
to make a close estimate of th<? i it. After
amount of the losses sustained, rust away
The heaviest loser, so far as we;get around
have heard, is R, C. Hawthorne.; mho the gt
who estimates his lost at 100
bales, which means a heavy loss
indeed, considering tire present
high priec of cotton, Mr. Haw-
thorne lost several hundred dol-
lars by reason of damage to his
levee, which gave way on ac-
count of not being settled.
J. H. Kelley sustained a loss
of something like 40 bains and \
Petty and Andrews lost perhaps
30 bales.
Others w'ro sustumd heavy j
losses, the amounts not being
estimated, were Dr. O. Glenn.)

STOMACH TROUBLE
. tM^?n,He,Cc?mbJ of Nancy, Ky.. says: "For quite
a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. I began to have
regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It iust
seemed to tear my stomach all p. I found they were

'"Rub - it - dub - dub, rub-a-dub-dub I
Tbree men In u tub I" sang Anne Les-
ter u« sUe swished the clothe* about
In the foaming suds, her Arm round
units keeping time to the jingle.
Abruptly the tune ceased; with *
gt'Hture of dlspalr Anne raised be*
dripping hands froui tbe soapy water.
"It Is too mean for anything!" she
pouted. "All the other girls In the club
have time to knit and make all sorts
of pretty things for the soldiers' ba-
zimr, but I," with u disdainful glance
ut her ugly, chocked apron. "I hare
to stay on the farm and chore around
nil of the time!"
In un Instant the dark cloud disap-
peared from Anne's countenance; even
her yellnw curls bobbed with delight
un she plunged lier hands again Into
the suds.
"Captain Briggs said we might en-
ter anything—anything!" she whisper-
ed softly, her dark eyes glowing with
Joy nt the overwhelming thought
T\o notice from the cantonment,
some 15 miles away, had specified
that any girls' club within a radius of
20 miles xyis eligible to enter arU-
elt's in a soldiers' bazaar to be given
for the benefit of the Red Cros on
June 28, All such articles must not
exceed the sum of $5 for materials,
und would be auctioned olt to the high-
est bidders. The maker of the con-
tribution netting the largest amount
would receive a prize of $10.
On the morning of June 25 Anne
M-i-ise when the sun was yet barely
peeking over the hilltops. She bus-
tied ii'ii'l fed the pigs, milked the cows,
watered the calves and prepared break-
fast. Before eight o'clock the dishes
were washed, the kitchen made spick
nnd span, and Anne had the house to
herself. Captiously she'looked about
for intruders, then finally barred the
doors find set to work for the soldiers'
baznar with a smile of determination.
Ten o'clock saw a trim little figure
In u plaid gingham dress trudging
through the deep sand of the country
road. Tn her hands she gingerly car-
ried a large square pasteboard box.
A chattering group of girls met her
at the clnbrootn.
"Oh, Anne, dear, what have you
brought?" they chorused.
"Please let me see It!"
But Anne shook her curly head mys-
teriously nnd only held her precious
burden more tightly.
Carefully Anne placed the box In the
truck amid a confusing heap ef pack-
ages.
One day went by and no news from
the buzuar; two days, three days
passed, and still no word. On the
fourth afternoon the next meeting of
the club was scheduled to take place.
The girls were anxiously expectant;
surely a message would then come
eantonment.
Again Anne dressed herself freshly
and started for town.
"Toot, toot, toot!" came an automo-
bile horn behind her. Instinctively she
turned to the roadside and. half hld-
d( i in the bushes, waited for the ma-
riilne to pass by.
A tine watched It conic.
"So powerful and strong," she
tli 'Ught to herself. "Oh, how I would
love to ov.-fi one I"
Just, as it neared her the speed de-
creased and the engine stopped. Blink-
ing through ike whirling clouds of dust
Aline siiw a pleasant, masculine face
smiling down at her. With curiosity
she noted the officer's uniform nnd the
trig military cap doffed In her fionor.
"Do you enre for ride to tlie vil-
lage?" lie Inquired In a courteous man*
tier.
"Yes, thank you," answered Anne,
glad enough for a lift on such a long
sandy road.
"Perhaps you are one of the club
girls?" he asked, after she was seated.
"Yes," said Anne, "und I am now on
ray way to the meeting."
"flood!" laughed thn soldier, "so am
I. No doubt you will be pleased to
learn that one of your number won the
prize, and I am selected to present It."
With quiet dignity Anile escorted her
guest to the astonished presldent of
the club. Briefly and without affecta-
tion he Introduced himself.
"I am Albert Briggs from the camp.
It is my duty nnd pleasirre to award a
prize to one of your girls for the merit
of her contribution, which netted us
$100 for the lied Cross."
Wild suspense chilled the girls to sl-
lelieo.
"This remembrance," he continued,
holding a tiny white box In his hand,
'•goes to—Miss Anne Dexter. Will Bhe
please come forward?"
The tension was broken. A cheer
arose as Anne, with senred, white face
and shaking knees went up to Captain
Briggs.
Gently lie placed the box In her
hand, held both firmly for a moment In
his strong grip, then, with a glance
that made Anne's cheeks burn red, he
murmured, "Ood ! 'en* you!"
A babel of inquiries came from the
group of excited girls.
"What was It, Anne?"
"What did you make to win the
prlzo?"
"Oil," laughed Anne, smiling shyly
st Captain Briggs, "only a fat, Juicy
strawberry shortcake."
A year has passed and Anne'a cap-
tain Is now "overseas." but she Is not
Idle. Much of her spare time is spent
In prepnring'toothsome thrlntles for tbe
boys at entiip.
"For you know," she explains, "I am
a firm believer In the old saying, "tbe
way to u man's heart Is through his
stomach.'"

Herb Bishop Now
Known as "Herbert"
Herbert Bishop this week
bought the 27 acre tract of land,
one mile north of town, belong-
ing to Mrs. Laura Jackson for
$290 per acre. This is a portion
of the Blewett estate and
makes Herbert the owner of
nearly 100 acres in this piece of
land. This is considered a very
fancy price considering there
are no improvements of any
kind on the land.—Richardson
Echo.
When he lived at Mesquite we
called him Herb, but we notice
that he is now "Herbert." 'Well,
a man is entitled to have his
name spelled in a more dignified
way when he gets to b# the
owner of 100 acres pf $290 land.

| CURRENT COMMENT f
By Jas. H- Lowry
iTiiiiiiHiiiiiiiimiimiiimiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiin
An exchange asks its readeis
to name the greatest invention.
We shall hot undertake to an-
swer, but the first cold morning
when the flies are thicker in the
house than fleas on a dog, if
some fellow had invented a de-
vice to keep flies off of a bald
head we could point out the
greatest invention without a
second's hesitation.
It is not that people are not
willing to sweat that is troubling
the country, but that so many
are wanting to sweat at the
wrong place. There are several
hundred thousand who want to
sweat in the marching line or on
the platform but are unwilling
to shed a drop of sweat in the
cotton patch or the machine
shop.
France and England have rat-
ified the peace treaty and arc-
now waiving the beautiful olive-
branch at the world, but poor
old Uncle Sam is afflicted with
a gang of war-like senators who
are strutting orotmd with sting-
ers out and daring any nation to
tread on his coat tail.
A man is no older than he
feels. Several old Confederates
danced at the ball given in their
honor at Atlanta last week.
Fifty-four years have passed
since the last shot was fired in
the great internecine strife tha*.
bathed this land in blood, and
every ex-Confed has passed the
three-score-and-ten years alloted
to man, yet some of the old boys
are reported tb have spun
around like tops with hearts full
f joy and arms full of women.
In an Oklahoma town the oth-
er day two women, who were
charged with disturbing the
peace, were tried before a jury
composed entirely of women
Both women were convicted and
given the maximum penalty
after the jury had been out only
a few minutes. Woman suffrage
is scheduled to work a great
change in the verdicts rendered
when women are charged with
crimes. Smiles and hosiery will
lose all their powers when the
accused faces a jury of women.
