Parks is one of the ablest preachers in the Conference and his work here during the past two years has been excellent and our best wishes go with him to his new field of work.
Photographs make ideal Christmas Gifts. If you intend to give any this Christmas come at least 3 weeks before the 25th day of December. I am over-run with work is the reason I make this request. C. J. Dean.

FROM THE COUNTY AGENT: I have failed to get up a car load of sorghum molasses in the county, but am offered 90 cents a gallon for number 1 and 85 cents for number 2 molasses in local shipments. I will be at Weir Friday and at Ackerman Saturday, Nov. 29, to take up sorghum in barrels and half barrels. If you have some that you want to sell at this price, you had better bring it in on one of these shipping dates.
