Marrow—Henry Burwell, Jr. Bright and early one April morn Into this world Little Henry Jr. was born; Henry Junior came into this world On his snow white head there wasn’t a curl. He is as happy as he can be Because a son of a noble is he; His daddy’s heart was over run with joy, When he found it was a boy.

May his life be clean And free from shame, May he have later success to capture a dame, To help the country progress Forever and evermore! Birth of a Son Born to Rev. and Mrs. C. K.

Cotton Variety Test A cotton variety test will be con ducted in the county this year under the direction of the Division of Ag ronomy of the State Extension Ser vice. In last year’s test we failed to secure a stand of cotton and could not complete the test. So a test will be conducted this year. This test is to compare the value of our different local varieties with each other and with other varieties which will probably do well here in the yielding ability as shown by the dol lars and cents worth of seed and lint yielded per acre. These varieties will be grown side by side hnder identi cally the same conditions and in a test like this the relative value of the varieties can easily be determined. It has been shown in variety tests con ducted in the past that there are broad differences between the yielding quali ties of different varieties of cotton. We solicit your interest in this work. If you have a “(The Best Variety of Cotton)”, or even a good variety of either long or short staple bring or send about a peck of seed to the of fice of the County Agent to be planted along by the side of the other varie ties grown in the county. Be sure that the quantity of seed sent in is marked with a tag giving your name and address and the name of the variety of the seed. We should like to have 25 or 30 or more samples of leading varieties or types of cotton grown in the coun ty for this test. S. J. KIRBY, County Agent. Endorsing Mr. W. N. Holt for Mayor We, the undersigned voters of the city of Smithfield, hereby endorse W. N.
