partment stores, has opened a branch
store at Woods. They have Just gotten

Thanksgiving Services at Baptist
Church. ?
Thursday night, 7:15, November 2ath
at the Baptist Chuch of this place, a
special thanksgiving service will be
held. The music and the sermon will
be In keeping with the occasion.
A free-will offering for the Thomas
ville Orphanage will be taken. There
are more than 400 children at this,
institution, who are looking to the
christian people of this State for food
and raiment and shelter. There are
hundreds of others knocking at the
door of this and similar institutions in
the State for admittance. But on ac
count of lack of funds many of them
have to bejyirned away.
The Orphanage Associations of this
State hds sent out an appeal to all the
people to give on Thanksgiving Day
at least the value of an average day's
work for the support of the helpless
and homeless orphans in our. midst.
This appeal is reasonable and right.
Out of the 365 days In which we liav^
been permitted to live and work, it
does seem that we ought to be willing
to give at least one day to those who
are* less fortunate than ourselves.
Remember what Jesus said, "Inas
much as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethern, ye
have done it unto me." And again, "It
is more blessed to give than to de
ceive."

Doutless, tFTe"vTea^ers of the Times
remember what the Cedar ^ock cor-|
respondent had to say last week about
a match game of ball. He closed by !
saying they expected to come to Jus- '
tice on Friday last, to show the'jus
ticc boys what they could do for them.
Well what the Justice boys did for.
them was a plenty. Our "Fans" went
wild, with delight to see our thirteen
year- old pitcher, Wllfte Rice, _strike
out such tall "Guys" as (profesionaisj
Spencer Boone attd Lacy Stallings,
and then to see one of our sixteen
year-old boys, Percy Rice, knock two
homers and a three bagger. Well sir!
those boys were so non plussed we had
to "show them the way to go home"
We take^ithis opportunity to chal
lenge themTcTplay us again. We wilf
play, school against school or we will
play like ages. And if those fellows
should happen to chose school against
school it is very doubtful if they
would ever find the first base.
We are anticipating a musical feast
on next Friday night, when the Wake
Forest Glee Club will give us a per
formance.
On Friday night after Thanksgiving
a play, "Loves Diplomacy" and some
Historical Pageants will be presented

* Death of Little Boj.
In the der.th of Tittle Edward Frank,
sen of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Johnson,
which occurred at their home on
Church street on Wednasday of last
week after a short illness, the hearts
of many has been touched with sad
ness. Although he had just passed his
second birthday he had so woven him
self into the affections of others that
he was not only the pot of the house
hold but all those with whom he camc
in contact. His sweet and affectionate
disposition had made of him the
medium through which the home was
[ more strongly bound together. He
always had a smile raid a pleasant
"Hollo" for everybody till it had got
ten to be a greeting that was expected
(-and looked for by all who passed his
way. Always jolly and full of life he
changed many a dull hour into oue of
real pleasure and in his presence
melancholy wAs unknown. He was
young and it seems almost impossible
that could have been so great a factor
in life, but providence had so willod,
therefore his absence brings forth an
'Increased sadness.
The funeral services were held from
tho home on Thursday afternoon at 3
\ >
o'clock and were conducted by Rev.
A. D. Wilcox, of the Methodist Church, ]
during which a choir sang "Loyalty to
Christ," the song he had learned from
his first and only visit to Sunday
school and which, although in his
baby language he always loved to sing.
After the services at the home the re
mains were gently borne to Oaklawn
cemetery and there laid to rest in the
city of the dead under a huge bank of
bautiful flowers the tokens of love
from a large number of friends.
The pall bearers were Messrs. Q. B.
Rice, W. D. Jackson, P. M. Fuller O.
J. Hale, P. J. Brown and D. G. Pear?e.
"Then felL upon the house a sudden
gloom,
A shadow on those features fair and
thin;
And softly, from that hushed and
darkened room,
Two angels issued where but one went
in."
In the aquiBition of this little life
He&ven is more sweet and brightness
has been added to the angel band.

Pope's Items.
On Thursday morning November 11,
Pope's was shocked to hear that little
Alice Green Conyers, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. R. L. Conyers was seriously
ill and not expected to live. She was
stricken with diabetes at 2 a. m.
Thursday morning and died Thursday
night at 1 o'clock. A great many
friends gathered around the bed- side
wishing to do something to relieve her
suffering, but all hopes failed. She
was nine and a half years old. She
was a bright and intelligent little girl
and was loved by all who knew her.
She had a good kind word for -every
body. She was a lover 'of her Sunday
school and most times was present.
Her sister Miss Ida Conyers was" in
Johnstown, Pa., attending school and
was hurried home just in time for the
interment. - She was laid to rest in
Pope's cemetery, the services being
conducted by Revs. Mr. Harrell and
Buffaloe of Franklinton. 5he leaves
two sisters and three brothers and
father and mother to mourn their
loss.
Our hearts over-flow with sympathy
for the bereaved family. It's so hard
to give them up, but God in His wis
dom knowest best for He needest them
for His kingdom. David said "we
should not we?p" but though he said
"the dove weeps over her empty nest."
So many such little lights in heaven J
are beckoning to us.
This little young life has been taken
away for a cause unknown to us. But
God knows best and doest all things
well. God giveth and God taketli.
Our hearts throb for the bereaved
family asking the great spirit to give
them strength and wisdom to bear the
cross.

FARM DEMONSTRATION
The weather this fall has been fine
for sewing wheat, and we are glad to
see so many farmers putting in a few
acres of this crop. We would like
to see every farmer in the county
plant enough wheat to supply his
.family with flour.
By growing this wheat on every
farm, the farmers are not only sup
plying their family' with good pure
wholsesome bread, but they are help
ing to keep tip the price of cotton,
tobacco and other money crops. ?
The only reason why we are not to
day getting twenty T^nts per pound for
cotton as we should be getting is be
cause of the dependent or helpless
condition of the farmers. ,
When the farmers of the county a.-i
a whole get together their own -ujv
plies at home, and stop having to Mil
their cotton to furnish their homes
in these supplies, or to pay for sup
plies already eaten up, while growtag
the crop, they will then relaize their
independence and can demand a fair
price for any money crop grown.
The business men would also (eel
the good effects of the change, as he
would have no bad accounts to be car
rying over from fall to fall. Every
farmer would be able to pay up h(h
account every fall, when due.
No county or community can t>n
really progressive as long as it de
pends upon growing a money crop to
buy food supplies.
The price of fertilizers will be high ' L_
next spring, even higher than they
were Ujls past spring. If this be the
oase, the farmers will do well to ase
very little commercial fertilizer. 1he
farmer who raises all the born-yard
manure he can and then has a lot of'
clover and rye to turn under can make
good crops regardless of commertbl
fertilizers.
Of course we must have potash aar
ammonia. For the phosphorous we will
have to use acid phosphate er
Tennessee Ground Rock Phosphate. As
for the potash, our soil here In Frank
lin county are full of 'it. We can
vdry easily and profitably g Mr- along
without nitrogen or ammonia, by sow
ing all the barn-yard manure we etui
and then too, by growing winter
legume crops, as well as the other
winder growing crops.
We want to see the farmers in
Franklin county get to using more
limj. To encourage the farmers to
uie lime, we have ordered quite a few
copies of "Lima Facts for land
owners," which we are sending out
to-the farmers. Any farmer who does
not get one of these pamphlets and
wants one, can do so, by sending me
his name.
It is our opinion that the farmers
of this county are losing heavily by hot
using lime. We have used lime aad
know that it pays.
Lime Is said to liberate inert soil
potash and render it available for the
growing crop. Most of the soHb Is
this county have an abundance of inert
soil potash. So what we need to 4e
Is to grow plenty of (green) manure
and then use a liberal quantity ef
ground limestone or marl and we wilt
get results.
Lime corrects soil acidity, and has
tens the rotting of green manoriag
crops and other forms of orgaDlclftat
ter in the soil, and serves as a foei
for all kinds of plants; especially
those of the legtlme family, such as
the clover, vetches, alfalfa, peas and
beans.
Lime may be used at any conven
ient time, hut preferably during the
fall, Winter and spring months.
We shall be glad to be of any ser
vice we can to any farmer who wishes
to use -lime.
We might say. that the State fur
nishes this lime, to the farmers at
the lowest possible cost.
Lime should not be mixed with aay
kind of manure containing nitrogen
as the lime will set fire to the nitrogen
and it will go off in the air.
Quite a number of the Corn Club
Boys have not as yet sent us their re
ports. We want to insist that every
boy makg out his report, whether he
made a large or small yield. It will
be worth much to the boy to finish up
his work like a man. Get thee ere- '
ports to me as soon as possible.
