Cotton on the light lands is opening. Cotton picking will soon be the order of the day.
In the future, every night at 9 o’clock, the
lights will be turned off, and everybody in town is earnestly requested to stop
and utter a prayer for our soldier boys, who are fighting the battles of
righteousness “over there.” The lights will remain off only two minutes, but
during that time Don’t Forget to Pray.
Some people are too independent to take a

The time has arrived in this country when the
unpatriotic citizen is not going to find thigns so smooth for his class. We
class the man with the automobile who on Sunday disregards the wishes of the
fuel administrator and drives his machine around for pleasure, as one not
possessing the spirit that it takes to win the war. For the last three Sundays
we have noticed very few machines on the streeets of Weldon.

may hurt a friend.
