CELEBRATE AT LILLINCTON
The band attack ep a martial air.
Fifty girls in ths anlform of Ameri
ca's mothers ef matey marched oat of
the shadows, leading a long line of
bedecked automobiles through the
mrmt to the coaxthouse square, where
a bare flag-pole stood gaunt against
a clouded sky. Thirteen of the girls
stepped ont from the ranks and stood
by dm pole while their sisters formed
a circle around them. The thirteen,
each representing a State, began to
hoist a flag whom starry field sad
vivid stripes fluttered bravely to the
brasses. Slowly, to the strains #f the
Star Spangled Banner, the emblem
was raised. At half-saast it stopped.
The band changed to “Dixie, ” and
Old Glory wee hurried to the top
where it erased a fond and protecting
welcome to the area who wen to en
ter its service end who were present
to be honored by the thousands of
their brothers sad sisters for whom
liberty they were to go forth to bat

It was in this wny that Harnett
began the ceremonies staged at Lil
Uagten to bid her soldier bays god
speed upon their entrance into ths
service of the nation.
The day was a great one—for the
soldiers end for the Bed Cross. The
soldiers beard great speeches by Dsn
Hugh McLean, Judge Oliver Allen,

The Bed Cram girls, under the direc
tion of Mm. Ernest P. Young, of

Farming conditions have changed. It used to be that
the merchant and other city business men had things go
ing their way. When the farmer came to town he had to
take whatever he was offered for his produce, and pay the
merchant’s price for his merchandise. Now, with cotton,
corn, bacon and other farm products bringing high prices,
the farmer is an independent man. He can set his price
on these farm products, buy what he wants for cash, and :
go home with money in his pocket. If you don't own a :
farm, it will be the first step toward independence to buy
one. If you do own one, buy another, and be more inde
pendent. I have one or two small places that I will sell i f
reasonably.
