"Josephine, dear! Josephine,” he
called, close to her ear.
“All clear, boats?” A loud rough
voice of authority was shouting
above the deck, calling through a
megaphone.
‘‘Stand by to lower!” “Aye, aye,
sir!” A sailor was answering. He
stood near Josephine and Rantoul.
“A woman, sir!” he called. The boat
had swung outboard and was at the
level of the deck on which they
stood . "Steady, now! Steady!”
“Better lift her in, sir." The
words were addressed to Rantoul.
“Quick, before we lower. Yes, we’re
sinking.” Rantoul staggered to his
feet, Josephine had swooned. He
held her limp and heavy; half drag-
ging her, he staggered across the
mess of ropes on deck. “This way,"
the seaman pushed him. His knees
trembled, he bent over, passed Jo-
sephine into the boat. “Lower way
—lower!” The boat began to fall,
Gerrit Rantoul, his head swimming,
pitched forward into the boat, ly-
ing in the dark. Josephine, dropped
unceremoniously, sat up beside him
on the bottom boards. “Where are
we, oh, where are we?” she demand-
ed. “Hold all!” the boat was at the
level of the promenade; a crowd of
passengers surged to the rail, most-
ly in negligee; men wild-eyed, des-
perate; women crying. After an in-
terval of false quiet, they suddenly
began to realize that the great lin-
er was actually sinking. The hor-
ror of it! the great floating palace
sinking into the waves—it was in-
credible—terrible!
“Who’s in that boat?” An officer
in charge of the deck had jumped
on the rail, a pistol gleamed in his
hand.
“A woman, sir!” The sailor fail-
ed to see Rantoul. who lay stunned
in the bottom. Rantoul, coming to
loose of their own weight and dash-
d downward through the resound-
ing coffin of the hull. Frightful
reverberations rumbled over the
loaded boats and the people still
struggling in the ice-cola water. It
was a last loud protest of the dying

ing back wave rings, marked the
spot where the high stern plunged
out of sight. A huge hand, appar-
ently, had taken it by the nose and
yanked it down.
Only faint cries and a disorderly
cluster of overladen boats remained.
Much of confusion and very muen
of nobility and assorted and diverse
stories, legends and myths, came to
shore with the survivors, picked up
by a rescuing liner, called to the
disaster by the radio.
Duncan, Oct. 3.—The housewives

Forest Grove, Oct. 15.—The far-
mers are greatly in need of the
present sunshine and hope it con-
tinues indefinitely. Many are now
through gathering corn, while oth-
ers are still busy. There is some
cotton to pick yet,
Quite a few families are having
syrup made this year. The syrup is
clti extrs jood of its class.
Aaron Alford has made the most
gallons (150) and he had no trouble
in disposing of his surplus at a fair
price. Others having made syrup
or expecting to soon, are; Gomer
Owens, Will Crim, Bob Crim and O.
A Kvlo.
Oak Hill school starts today with
Mrs. Ruby Arledge, of Cameron, as
principal; Miss Ariel Wilson, of
Gause, assistant, These teachers
had charge of the work here last
year and a successful school is as-
sured.
The Tanglewood school bus leaves
Hicks at 7:30 o’clock, and as school
has been going on a week, most ev-
eryone is getting adjusted to the
early hour. This early hour works
a hardship on small children living
very far from Hicks and if you
think how long it takes a child to
walk a mile or more and be in time
for the 7:30 bus, you have some idea
how early he must leave home. And
if he should be five or ten minutes
late it means one day’s schooling
lost, However, as soon as cotton-
picking Ls over the time will be
changed to a later hour.
Myna Watson and Louise Crim
are finishing their high school work
in Lexington. Doris Alexander, An-
ri" Tr>(c Anderson. Gladvs and Wil-
lard Currev, Lee Keen and Hardy
Young are attending in Rockdale.
We feel sure these young people
who are new to their work will read-
ily adjust themselves to new condi-
tions, classmates and teachers, and
do work that will be a credit to
them and their school.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schneebeli have
recently built a modern home. The
old Schneebeli home was one of the
oldest frame houses here. Mr. Sch-
neebeli. with his mother, came here

cated and when his children were in

Cole Springs. Oct. 3.—School op-
ens Oct. 10. Miss Moline Avrett., oi
Pleasant Hill, is principal; and Miss j
Odelle Bowdoin, of Crockett, is the |
primary teacher. Alfred Martin
plowed the school grounds a few
days ago to turn under the grass-
burrs. The late summer rains have
given grass burrs the big chance to
grow, and the Cole Springs school
ground is always well stocked, as it
is deep sandy land.
With so many rainy days and so
few days of sunshine for the past
month, farmers are having a hard
time saving their feed crops and
cotton. While there is a short crop
of cotton, yet many bolls are rotted
before opening, and many of the
opened bolls are rotten or sprouted;
so, with the wasteage from the rains,
the weevils and what-not, the crop
is short—and the price shorter. The
last item is not "news.” It’s what
everybody knows.
Pastures are fine, and the corn
crop is good, so our livestock ought
to do well. It looks as if owners
of hogs ought to be able to have
meat and lard for another year
without having to fatten with corn.
There have been a great many
turkeys lost this late summer and
early fall. Some flocks seemingly
are doing fine, while others are not.
We hear of more chicks being hatch -
ed this fall than usual. Not every
fall do our hens lay so well, nor so
many go broody. With lots of us,
we depend on hens to hatch our
chicks.
Mrs. J. B. Bowdoin and Miss Od-
elle Bowdoin came from Crockett
several days ago. Mrs. Bowdoin is
visiting her parents, and Miss Odelle
is here to teach as primary teacher.
Ira Corder is at Lamesa heading
maize until cotton picking opens.
He writes that cotton is good out
there, also the grain crop. He is
staying with an uncle, Alf Kidd.

hall-clad hysterical women, tried to

“Sit down, you fool!” She jerked
