A MM ON Tuesday night was the coldest for the time of month in the history of this section. A real freeie. Peaches and apples are j^bout all killed. Found one or two ,? favored spots that may have a few apples. - The freezing line showed for five miles across the Blue Ridge ^feLess than one-third as many soy "beans are being ordered, as last year Time to think seriously about next years hay. There will be only a half crop of other hays due to the drought killing seedings. To feed fodder, shucks, cotton hlills ad the like means another winter of sickly cows. Start now to insure some good legume hay for the stock of the farm. Most of our fat cattle are sold. The steers brought eight cents , and , heifers somewhat under. The pre- j dieted high price did not mature, or ha?jaot yet, due to the west dump- j ing 'their cattle. The two or three j months ahead look better. One question that has been asked several times during the week ? ! What. variety of lettuce should be! planted at this time or later? i From last years experience, head j {.Jttuee will go to seed if planted after the first week in April. I i would recommend the leaf lettuces, and the Grand Rapids is one of the best. Mr. H. P. Nicholson, of Little River, has had over one hundred letters of inquiry about his syrup work, as reported in the Progressive Farmer of March 27th. The most often asked question was in regard to the effect, if any, in grinding the stalks with the leaves on. This practice of not stripping the leaves is contrary to old practice, and is less expensive. To avoid stripping without hurting the quality of the syrup would be a pleasant thing, and so Mr. Nicholson and others have found that they can make just as good syrup one way as the other. Just a little more skimming when leaves are not pulled. The acreage of oats will be about normal this year Now if the poul trvmen can be persuaded to feed oats from the time the chickens are large enough to eat them till death or sale, we will help stop one leak of cash from the county.. Oats are one of the best feeds on the market for all animal kind, that can be bought most anytime of the year, and served in many ways. Eat your oats and feed eats, and you will never regret it. The rye crop is rather thin due j to poor stand, and hard winter. : That ought to give us a better srrained rye for sale this fall, though. Jordan Whitmire and Son. have , better than five hundred of the sheep family. About equally di- : vided between lambs and ewes. The Iambs are being kept in up-to-date fashion. Having a feeding place all their own. and you .ought to sec . them grow on the extra grain feed they get. _ i LUCKY WEEK-END ONLY FOR OFFICERS; UNLUCKY for law violators Eck Sims ami Charlit- Jimison j had a very good week-end, ''lawfully. 1 speaking." On Saturday night Ed i Mcore, colored, was nabbed with a gallon of whiskey. Sunday morning, Sims and ->im ison destroyed a double header i steamer still in the Cedar. Mountain section, along with 16 irall'ins of whiskey, 2,000 gallons of beer and enough tubs- to hold many pallor..- , more. The still was still hot from recent operation, but no one was on the scene. Three men were cap tured Sunday afternoon driving a ; Ford touring cur, who had a 10 gallon cargo of whiskey beliet-ed to ? have been a part of the whiskey , made at the still destroyed earlier in the day .

THE PRAYER CORNER BE STRONG That is, of course, what we should all of us greatly wish to be: but how is it possible? If there is one fact more often forced upon our notice than another, it is the fact of the exceeding frailty of human nature. We are weak physically. Man is outmatched and outstripped by the creatures around him. None has so long or so helpless an infancy, none is naturally so unprotected as he. Before the forces of nature he is a very reed, liable to be crushed in an instant. Worse still, we im morally weak. We have falterinj. purposes and hesitating wills. S<; soon as we think we can stand. ?v are on the brink of falling. Krai! children of dust, we are feeble as frail. Does it not sound then, almost :: mockery to suggest to us that wr. can be strong if we choose? Are we to conclude that we have a re. posibility in the matter; s? that our weakness is to be regarded as our own faults, a condition in which w> have no right to remain? That is certainly what the com mand would seme to imply. We may go further and say that it what we might gather from the ianguage of the Bible, as we find it repeated again and again. It will In enough to quote a few parages out of many: "Only be strong" ? Dcu. 12-2'!. "Be strong and quit, yourselves like men" ? 1 Sam. 4:'J. "Say to them of a fearful hearl. be strong" ? Is. 35:4. "Be strong, yea, be strontr" Dan. 10:19. ' "Be strong O Ze.ubbabel ; !>?? strong O Joshua; be strong ye peo ple of the land" ? ll:ig. 2:4. "My son, be strong"? -2 Tim. 2:1 One of Archbishop Templer Kuv. by sermons to boys is characteristic ally entitled ? "Strength, a Duty.' We cannot read the Bible with any care without being convinced th: this is the view it means to-tak" We are clearly intended to under stand and to realize that we ough; to "be strong." A PRAYER TO BE STRONG O Thou who givest power to lit faint, and to them who have n might. Thou increasest strength, help us to be strong in the ! ord an ? in the power of His might. We know that we are weak pli> sically, that man is outmatched and outstripped by the creatures around hint, that none has' so long or helpless an infancy, that none i. naturally so unprotected as he; thai before the forces of nature we ai e very reeds liable to he crushed in ai: instant. We know ? that we are weal, morally. We have faltering pui poses and hesitating wills; that when we thin': we can stand, are on the bii..!. of falling. Hut thanks be to Almighty God, on. Heavenly Father, we need not re main weak morally. We have a responsibility in the matter o.ir weakness is our own fault, a rendi tion in which we have no right t ? remain, for we can "be strong in the Lord and in the power of II u might." So the command bids u>, and God's Word again and again repeated the injunction. O give us grace to take heed to the law. and to the testimony a* quoted above. Bring home to our hearts the blessed truth that Strength is a Duty. And enable us to show it forth in our lives. Open the ears of our spirit that we may hear the Lord saying to us. as He '?> St. Paul, "My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made per fect in weakness." Most pi.uily. therefore, will we rather glory in our infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon us. Therefor ? we take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in dis tresses, for Cliiist's sake, for whi n we are weak, then are we strong. And so with Paul, we can rejoice and say, "1 caii do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." And the glory and tlfc praise shall be to our God and Saviour forever and, ever, Amen. ? c. n. r. Rev. L. M. Roper of Johnson Ci'y. Tenn., said in a recent sermon: "l<" the church members and church goers of Johnson City would quit drinking liquor, the boot'l- ;-rer-> would starve to death.
