The larger majority of the tobacco so^d waa of the lower grades but the prices were startling. It was agreed that the prices were much higher than they have been on these grades in many years. The better grades did not show a marked advance over last year but brought splendid prices? fully as high as they did last season. The tobacco began to arrive early Monday afternoon and before night arrived around twenty-five loads had been brought In. Mr. Robert P. Neal of near Maplevllle, brought In the first load for the seaeaix It was taken to the Planters Warehouse and weighed 1154 pounds. Joe Terrell brought in the second load of the sea son.

Miss Daniels says Bhe really stum bled upon this new coiffure while Idly arranging her hair this way and that in her dressing room one day at the Paramount studio. She desired a severe and somewhat classical effect,?the stdd.curl seemed to meet her requirements. "The side-curl permits the bowlsh effect of the bob, and also provides j the softening feminine effect," says ' Miss Daniels. "It really is not a great ; deal different from the way my ' grandmother, who is Spanish, wore her hair as a girl. She had the curl. | Her black hair was brushed straight ; back, and ended in a sleek, neat knot I at the nape of the neck. The only difference in the way I wear my hair with the side curl is that the knot is cut off." So now Hollywood is wearing the side-curl. Miss Daniels latest Paramount comedy, "Miss Brewster's Millions," is due at the Winner Theatre on Thursday. According to advance re j ports, it is quite'the funniest thing 'either she or Director Clarence Bad 1 ger have ever done. Warner Baxter and Ford Sterling are featured.

Why not be a year round farmer Inetead of Just a sum mer time farmer T 81nce our Father In Heaven has eo wonderfully blessed us with cli mate and soils that we can grow a cover crop tor our soils and hay for our stock In the early spring, lets resolve now that we will have some thing green growing on our farmstrr at least half of our cultivated fields If not on all of them.

Just now lets stop and oooperate with our county agents and home agents of the coun ty. They want our cooperation and are willing to give you theirs It you will only give them a chance. Just a short while back I heard a man say, all these agents were an expense to the county and of no be nefit to the farmers. I questioned him had he ever invited one of them td his home and asked for some Infor mation and help along different lines, his answer was no he had not I ask ed hla to give them a chance before he knocked so. hard. I hope the agents will pardon me for saying this, but I felt af If lNrant ?d to say It In phasing Lets begin no# to plan and take Just a hit of vacation, and come to free.

Injured .?o>> Thaa 4,000;; Hwm y S'.o.u md Hurricane Visits Fieri Ja .Saturday Miami, Sept. 20.?Tl&e known dead in the Miami area as a result ot Sat' urday's hurricarfi and tidal wave stood tonight at 368, the number ot Injured estimated at over 1,000 and the property loss was placed at fifty million dollars. Approximately forty persons were missing. . _ Miami proper had 125 dead, and approximately 2,000 injured; Miami suburbs, including Coral Gables, Mi ami Shores, Little River and Hialeah a total of 45 dead and Injured num bered into hundreds. Hollywood with 75 dead and 600 in jured, presented the-most pitiful scene in the storm area as scores of child ren cried for their parents and an equal number of adults scantly clad, many in bathing suits, searched the wreckage of their homes for traces of loved ones now micsing. At Fort Lauderdale there were 13 dead, 20 probably fatally injured and 503 others injured being treated by the Red Cross, hospitals and emergen cy stations. It was said by Red Cross officials there that about 7,000 were dependent upon them. At Dania there had been found 10 bodies and 140 persons injured. Vir tually every home or business build ing was wrecked. At Davie, 5 were killed and 40 Injured. Progresso and Pompano each had one dead. Reports are that 41 dead have been located at Moorehaven and Clewlston across? Lake Okeechobee. Because of the inaccessibility of the towns an accurate check tonight was impos sible. It was indicated several hun dred were injured. Fifty persons were suffering from injuries at Progresso and but three at Pompano. At Floranada there were three injured and at Dserfield two. Throughout the storm area it was estimated conservatively that 40,000 were homeless and virtually without clothing or immediate methods to re-, coup their loss. Martial Law la Koree Martial law, declared Saturday, continued In effect throughout the storm area, until late' this evening when the restrictions in Miami were modified. None waa allowed during the day to enter the stricken area ex* cept upon some mission of relief, of ficial business of the government or state or for the press of the nation. Hundreds were turned back by the soldiers despite their pleas that re latives were in the storm area and had been unheard from. It was con sidered best until things had better adjusted themselves that the water and food supply be no further strain ed by additional mouths to feed. And. too. the work of checking the dead and injured and caring for and hous ing the destitute would be hampered by any addition. Sanitary engineers and Inspectors were mobilized today to avert seri ous epidemics in the path cut by the hurricane. Huge signs now warn the people of the stricken area that drinking water must be boiled twenty minutes. The signs are not advice but orders from the health department of the cities affected, posted and enforced by the authorities of the martial govern ments which temporarily govern. Sewer systems and water systems generally were crippled, but train loads of water arrived last night and city officials announced today that Miami and Hollywood water plants were back in commission.

Dnan, of Entield, Xakm Excel lent Masonic Address; Urn hers Present Loulsburg Masonic Lodge No. 413 A. F. and A. M., held another one of its famous educational meetings on Tues day night September 22, 1926. Thess meetings in our local lodge have be come so enthusiastic during the last few months that our educational pro gram is known about, talked about, and our lodge meetings are visited by members of practically every Ma | sonic lodge within automobile dist ance from Loulsburg. Tuesday nights meeting was no ex ception to the rule and if this is pos sible, the lodge held its most enthusi astic and inspiring educational meet ing. Brother R. C. Dunn of Enfield, was the principal speaker on the pro gram, and his address was enjoyed by about one hundred Masons, men ben of Loulsburg and other nearby lodges throughout the county. Brot&er Dunn lived up to his enviable repu tation as a forceful and Instructive ' Masonic speaker. He took for the theme of his dis cussion, the question, "Are you a Ma son T" and the answer "I am" taking leach letter of the word M-A-S-O-N. ' and attributing the following greet i lessons of friendship, morality and brotherly love in a masterful discourse he subdivided and discussed the word in its true meaning as follows: I The first letter "M" he said meant j"Mastery," Mastery of self, first of all ' and then mastery of the other afc. ; stacles which each and every man has to face in every day of life, and stressing the fact that history holdn no record of any man having ever "mastered" anything or any body un - til the man had "First Mastered Him. ' self." | The second letter "A" he said meant "Activity." Activity in doing things and not merely drifting in a passive ; way through our Masonic lives. The third letter *"S" he said meant j "Service," which is one of the fundar 1 mental bedrocks upon which the great need for real masonry has been car ried forward throughout the ages. | "Service to Others" being the motto of all real masonry. The fourth letter "O" he said meant obedience stressing the fact that no I lodge or organiatfon of any kind could function properly without obedience i on the part of its membership to the leadership of its officers and he also made a forceful appeal for "Obedi ence" to the laws of our state country, whether we like them not. The fifth letter "N" he said "Nelghborllness" and on this word he reached his climax in building and I painting a word picture of real "Ma sonry" citing the scriptural account {of "The Traveler who fell among thieves," and held up the Good Sa maritan, as the real Neighbor.. | In a very elaborate discussion tfea speaker built a magniflcient addrean out" of his subject, and only those w)ua were fortunate enough to be present and hear him, can fully apperciate tha great meeting we had on Tuesday night. This was the third meeting Brother Roth has arranged for our progran^ and the success of this last one waa largely due to his untiring efforts ha this behalf. The program for the two regular meetings in October will be in charge of Brother Eugene Wilson and row may be sure that the high standard already set will not be lowered. CENTER YLLLE 6. A. The G. A.
