PA^ER) There are a few members of the Peanut Growers' Exchange who have broken their contract by refusing to deliver their peanuts to the Exchange, and have sold to the cleaner's agents, Now, in trying to discuss this ques tion, first, I will 'say: I delivered1 every bag I had that the contract I had called for. I sold the tenant's part, his half, outside, which I had a perfect right to do in order to get him out of debt to me. Now, the farmer who willingly broke his contract, and is a member of the Exchange, has committed a great sin and has dishonored his obli gation and brought reproach upon his name. He stands face to face with the courts for the breach he has made. I have always advised the fel low who you can count upon when he makes a bargain or trade, who will stand by his word though he'lose by it as a member of the Exchange. I feel like every fellow who, broke the contract ought to account for it. Brother, you ought not to have done it. I have been financially depressed |ust like other farmers have been and have needed all the money I could get out of my peanuts and other crops; hut, at the same time, I will stand by my word. The contracts I make I will stand by so far as I can. This ought to be the attitude of svery man, and when we have done ihis, we will feel like we have lived ip to our obligations so far as we'' :ould. Not until then will we have i clear conscience.

Ruby Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Seth Dilday, died Tuesday morning, September 19, 1922 at one o'clock in Lake View Hospital, Suffolk, Va. Ruby had been baring stye on her eyes for several weeks but each time they would soon get well, until a few days before her death another sty came on her eye and this time it be came very serious. It developed into eye infection, meningitis, and the end came shortly after she reached the hospital. All that poaaibly could be done to relieve her suffering %nd to stay the hand of death was done but of no avail, for God saw fit to remove her from our midst It was so hard for her godly parents to give her up, but God wanted her to live with Him in His heavenly mansion, so with the blessed thought that she is far better off than to have been let to live here in this world of sin and realising that God makes no mistakes they were willing to say: "Have Thine Own way Lord." Ruby was indeed a sweet child, and will be greatly missed in the Sunday School, Sunbeam Band, and also the Junior B. Y. P. U., all of which she was a faithful member. She was ten years old and very bright. She leaves to mourn their loss, four little broth ers, one sister, mother, father and a host of near relatives and friends. The funeral services were conduct ed at her home near Center Grove on Wednesday afternoon by her pastor, Rev. L. E. Dailey, and amidst a con course of sorrowing friends she was laid to rest in the family cemetery at her grandmother's home, Mrs. John Mitchells. Tift floral offeNngs were many and beautiful. And to the grief stricken mother and father, we should not speak of her as dead, but in reality she has been translated in to a higher life infinitely higher and nobler than this, and she now real izes: "There is no death, the stars go down, To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in heaven's jewel crown, They shine forever more." ?CONTRIBUTED.
