But this good news should not lessen our efforts or diminsh our enthu * si asm in endeavoring to grow the largest food and feed crops that we have ever grown. The cry of the starving is coming to us from war ridden Europe ? a cry that we should heed. We have vton the war with FOOD, now let us win everlasting gratitude by feeding the hnngry world and clothing the naked?a task that our Southland > is peculiarly fitted for.

Just when it seemed she waa needed moat, the subject of this aketch, who waa indeed "an angel" on earth, waa overtaken by the grim reaper, in the form of the "awful scourage" that has traveraed our land., On the morning of JanuaryJ 9, 1919, the spiritjof Mrs. Bettie Jernigan Powell made ita flight to her heavenly home. Having known her for lesa than a year, the writer knows 'little1 of her early life. But to me her life haa been an inaperation. Our lives are not measured by years, but by deeds, and though she is gone her influence will live on. Devoted, kind, faithful and patient, beyond what the word impliea. May the "Allwise," in whom she trusted, guide, direct and minister to the comfort of the eight children who are left to fight life's battles without tha guidance of a mother, is my humble prayer. On my last visit to her, just a few weeks before her death, Bhe asked me to sing "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," and now I know she is safe in His arms. Thy trials are over, thy rest is won. A friend, Ginie P. Sissoms. Writes From France Mr. and Mrs. J. O. AskeW, of Har rellville, have just received a letter from their son, Sergt -Major Grady D. Askew, in France. This is the first word received from him in nine weeks. The letter was written on Thanksgiving day. Said he had just eaten a "turkey lew" Thanksgiving dinner, but had more to be thankful for than ever be fore in his life, as he was well and happy, whereas so many of his com rades could not answer roll call on that day. He said he heard the last gun fired before th? armistice was signed and since that time had been billeted in various parts of France?in any place from a bani up. At the time of writ ing he was in central France, billeted in the home of a kind French family, who did all they could for his comfort and entertainment Said he had an open fireplace in his room and was at last sleeping in a real feather bed. He has seen quite a bit of France traveling on army trucks and motor trains, and has had many pleasant experiences? as well as unpleasant?bat will be glad to see the Statue of Liberty again. He hopes to eat Easter dinner at home, unless his division (the 81st) is selected to participate in the trmy of occupation, in which case, he says, no one can Speculate as to how long he would have to remain in France, DISSOLUTION NOTICE. The firm of Holloman) and Mat thews was, by mutual consent, dis solved on the 1st day of January, 1919. A. W. Holloman is no longer connected with the said business, his interest in same having been pur chased by M. C. Matthews.

J. M. Wynna, of Murfreeaboro, N. C., reached our eara, we ccould not believe it?we were ehocked?both aa Indi vidual* and aa a'chapter. We had loat a moat worthy and beneficial friend; ahe Vai eur benefactoreaa; ahe waa our helpmate. She had long been an honorary member of the Hertford county chapter U. D.

There hangs on the wall of our chapter room a potrait of her illua trioua husband, Col. J. M. Wynna, a gift from her to thia chapter. Mr*. 1 Wynna waa a women of clearcut ideaa. I filled with purity and honeaty of thought, i Gentle in manner, loveable in diapoai- ( tion we will miaa heq helping hand in { the future, when hard places have to be gone over. So be it resolved: 1 1st That we bow in humble aub- ' mission to the will off our Divine , Father. ( 2d That we, as a chapter, feel our ^ loss too heavily for words. 3d That we have the resolutions published in our county paper and the ' Christian Advocate, and a copy sent to her family, and be s p r t a d upon the , minutes of our chapter records.

Should Have Been 9 Cent* . , We made 'the misleading and i entirely wrong statement in our i last issue, when we stated in on- i article headed, "The Farmer and i His Peanuts," that "under no cir- ] cumstancee should peanuts be sold I this year for less than eight cents per pound." We hasten to give the true version of the resolution adopted by the farmers present, numbering over 60. Instead of 8e per pound we should have made it ] 9c per pound, as that was the price fixed by those present, that is, a price that would allow the farmer a small margin of profit. We also wish to add emphasis to this by Btatir g that competent per sons connected with North Carolina agriculture -depaitment have care fully worked oqj. the cost of pro duction, to be not less than 7 l-2c per pound. With such facts as these to base the farmers' claim of nine cents per pound upon, the cleaner could not expect the farmer to sell his peanuts at eight cents. We gladly correct ihe statement of last week, and caution the wise farmer to wtthold his peanuts from the market until they can command a fair price, whici> has been fixed at 9c. Farm (or Sale Twenty-seven acres cleared, 70 acres well set in young piAe timber. Located half mile from depot, and a half mile from the town of Whalev ville, in which is a splendid graded school. Land adapted to corn, cot ton, peanuts, potatoes, and tobacco. Comfortable five-room dwelling, outbuilding* fair, good water and plenty of fruit.
