IX MEMORY Of MRS. R. S. LONG It U with a sad heart I attempt to "tvrite a little sketch of my dear daughter Effie. who entered into her eternal rest cn ?hily 9th, 1926. Ij am so sad and lonely, to think I *feall never see that sweet face again en earth, but I hope to meet her in Heaven above, where all is peace and love. I believe she is new resting iB the arms of Jesus, where she will never suffer, any more pain nor oeath. She has crossed the tide where loved ones wait to welcome *nd will never say good bye. Oh, fVe was lent to me ^ucj? a short while, but the Lord giveth and the I .orcl taketh, and blessed be the rajne of the Lord; He doeth all things well. Flowers we I ay on her grave may w ther and decay but her memory will ever be dear to me.- She wa? a ?fving child, and she loved her hus band so dearly. She said all she minded going was leaving her loved ones. Efftie was born December 2nd. 1 ?86, and died -July 9th, 1926!.? Writ ten by Mother. ? MELON WILT CONTROLLED BY ROTATING FIELD6 Raleigh, NT.

July 26.-=WHt . of ?watermelons, a fungus disease like that of cotton and cowpeas,. has | played havoc in a number of fields ' <yver - North Carolina this summer j snd r slikely to do more damage dur ing the season. ?"Oi\?e watermelon wilt has at tacked a plant, nothing can be af?he to saVe it/' says Dr. S.

Seventy-five I .North Caro:fna counties are rep- 1 resented by the 3. J26 farmers who have bcrrrwed a total of $11,407,-1 700 for agricultural purposes from I the North Carolina Joint Stock Land I Bank of Durham. President South- 1 ?atc Jones reported to the board of directors at the meeting held in Dt'r '?am last week. In Virginia 128 x'armera in 19 ccunties have borrowed from the hank a total of $440,?00, the report showed. In Person (bounty, President Jores reported that there arc 63 farmers Avho have borrowed "from the bank, the total airiount being $104,800. The directors expressed their sfct's facticm yribh the; loans mide and with the splendid manner : in which, the farmers are meeting ? thoir pay ments, which, they said. indicaijs'n healthy and stable conditicn among the farmers of Person county . "(JIVE M B NEITHER POVERTY NOR RICHES" There is one more fact that- it is only fair to keep in mind and that is this:? While farmers never attain the diz zy fieights of wealth and opulence reached by the city's wealthiest class es, neither do they fall to the depths of poverty and suffering, reached by the city's poorest classes. The city has more millirftvaires. it is true, but it also has more beg gars, more suicides, more human be ings who are mere ghastly wrecks of what humanity /should, be, more men and women whom want ci a vicious enviroment have forced into lives of crime and vice. There may not always be satisfactorily remuner ative work in the country, but there is always work which will at - least 1 keep" the wolf from the door and bread in the mouths of the children. Even the humblest tenant may have the? :i". "Garden, cow, and fifty hen* And hogi that prate (not housed in pens)/' which insure fcroflfcr and well balanc ed f-,od for the family. On the other hand, every town knew* its tragedies of both unemployment and of irregu ! lar employment ? work wfcfch may pay well at certain seasons and not even provide food or house rent at ether seasons. Thcjn, too if a farm er falls a victim to sikeness there are nearly always other members of the family who can carry on the farm work and often neighbors who gladly help, while tVe fate of the friendless worker in the city is of ten desperate the moment affliction comes. Siteh a situation may be palliated ty the relief agencies, but the cities yet- number by millions their undernourished children and even - undernourished wives mothers. And even among the so called relatively prosperous classes there is often such a struggle with debt to keep up appearances and stay in -style th&t family life is sac rificed, children are not Wanted, and old age finds the -man or woman in a poverty of loneliness more crush IYes, proud Wealth does stru the city boulevards* and bitter Pov , erty crouches and slinks along it? Islumways, while fro.ra our country I districts there still goes up the j>ray ! er of the Wise Man of old: ? ?; / "Give me neither poverty nor tffch cs; feed me with food convenient for me.'\ ,-:?.
