How Long Will the War Last?
Lord Kitchener in August:
“My term of office is for the war,
or three years if the war should
last longer than that.”
M. Miohon, France, in August:
“The war will be long and hard.”
Privy Councillor Witting, head
of the National German Bank:
“It is a long, long war and will
be fought to the bitter end. We
still have 3,000,000 men to put in.
England or Germany must per-
ish.”
Ex-President Fallieres of
France: “The war is only be-
ginning. Months and months
will be required. France has ac-
quired constancy.”
General Auffenberg, third Aus-
trian army: “It is impossible to
tell when the war will end. Mon-
ey exhaustion may hasten the
outcome.”
William E. Corey, America:
“The Germans have food and
ammunition to last them a year
and a half.”
Russian official Army Journal:
“The war cannot end in less than
a year. Austria will be crushed
by the beginning of winter. But
Germany will ffght in the spring
with increased fury.”
Premier Asquith, in House of
Commons yesterday: “The war
will not last as long as people
had originally predicted.”

The late cotton is opening
slowly, but do not think very
much of it will open since the
frost. Some of the farmers say
that cotton is worth so little and
the green bolls may not open so
they taking the seeder and plow-
ing it up and planting it in small
grain.
A good rain would be appre-
ciated now on the grain, but it
would not benefit the cotton yet
in the fields.
Rev. Clinton Lauoaster filled
his regular appointment here last
Saturday and Sunday.
There was a sprinkle of rain
here last Sunday morning.
Erwin Williams and his mother
were here Sunday from Kemp-
ner to attend church.
Mrs. Milton Harmon, of the
Pidcoke country, visited the fam-
ily of J. R. Gee Saturday and
Sunday, bringing her daughter,
Mrs. Joe R. Gee with her. Mrs.
Gee has just arrived from Missis-
sippi where she and Joe have
been living for more than a year.
She brought a little son, Joe jr.,
with her, but Grandfather and
Grandmother Gee do not feel any
older, and are very proud of the
little fellow.
Misses Ivor and Chloe Corbin
and their brother, Len, visited
the Dallas fair, and were guests
of another brother,g Elbert, who
is studying dentistry in Dallas.
The ladies of the Baptist
church will serve oysters, cake
and pie at Clayton school house
on Friday night, Nov. 20th. A
program of recitations and dia-
logues will be rendered for amuse-
ment, and it will be free—except
the eatables—to everybody. They
cordially invite the editor out.

The demand for cotton for
foreign countries grows stronger,
and the exports the middle of
this week were larger than at any
time since the opening of the
cotton season. More than 61,000
bales were shipped from Ameri-
can ports Wednesday; nearly
50,000 of this going to foreign
countries. It is supposed and
hoped that the opening of the
cotton exchanges and the Feder-
al Reserve Banks, Monday of
next week, will increase the de-
mand for cotton, as well as to ad-
vance the price. Money will be
easier and those who desire to
get cash advances on their cotton
will be accommodated.
A newspaper headline states
that “war has been declared in
Mexico.” This announcement
seems a little late, since active
fighting among various factions
has been in progress there for
something like three years. The
recent declaration is between two
men, both of whom now claim to
be president of that much trou-
bled country. Each has a follow-
ing sufficient to make their war
interesting to themselves and to
keep other nations speculating
as to what will be the outcome.
About the time a conclusion is
formed that there may be quiet
in Mexico, another revolution
arises, and yet the prospeot for
peaoe is in the distanoe.
