a wet rain. Weather Observer
S. C. Lee reports a fall of little
better than an inch and aquarter.
The rain will do a wonderful
lot of good. A large acreage of
oats is being sown and this will
bring the seed right up and carry
the plant a long time. Wheat
had been frozen down to the
ground a number of times and
needed rain. The ground was
loose and had a tendency to
blow. People were scared up
and afraid it was going to be
dry again, although you could
kick up moisture with your foot.
Altogether, it was a fine rain.
The Priscilla Club.
The Priscilla Club of needle-
women, met with Mrs. Eck Fan-
cher last week in a most enjoy-
able session. Mrs. Murrell, the
president, in her graceful man-
ner conducted the business affairs
of the club. After two hours
with the needle a delicious salad
course with hot coffee was served.
A royal good time was had and
club adjourned to meet with Mrs.
Dowdle Feb. 15.

Cotton Reduction Meeting.
Quite a number of representa-
tive farmers gathered in the dis-
trict court room Saturday after-
noon to consider the matter of
cotton reduction. J. C. Webb,
one of the county chairmen,
stated the object of the meeting.
He then introduced the other
chairman, W. H. Francis, who
made an able address. Among
many other points made he said

spoke on the difficulty of raising
other crops in this country. Af-
ter a few other remarks the
meeting adjourned.

Ferrier and family came in Sat-
urday from Washita, Ok la., and
will make this their home in the
future. They have been up
to raise cotton. He thought the
reduction movement would be a
great benefit and said the acre-
age will be cut everywhere.
Judge Jo A. P. Dickson spoke
very effectively. He believed
the intelligence of the people
will solve the problem. The man
who pays for everything with
cotton must have a big margin
of profit to come out. Diversify,
intensify; cotton will be worth
more and there will be more
other crops to use. W. I. Scud-
der said the same money could

the little north wind of the pre-
vious Saturday. He said it look-
ed like this country had gotten
so it could raise nothing but cot-
ton. We, being an old timer,
told him he could not judge the
country by the past three years,
and that other things would
grow here, because we had seen
them when we were a little bit
of a boy.
