The Journal is authorized to an
nounce J. R. Alexander as a can

A BRIQI1T LITTLE FELLOW
Salado,Dec. 23.—Arelins Parker
grandson of H. C. Wycough, of
our township is one of the b light
est little boys in this neighborhood.
He is six ytears old and has a pony
at his disposal anytime he wishes
to go riding or driving. He enjoys
driving very much, and always
while with other members of the
family, in wagon, carriage or bug
gy, Arelins invariable holds the
lines, especially when driving into
the ferry boat to cross the river.
Sometime ago, while out driving
with his grandfather, they came
to a sharp curve in the road and
grandpa insisted on Arelins allow
ing him to drive until after danger
of a wreck passed. But showing
the same spirit he formerly had
done, quickly answered, “Grandpa

PLAN TO INSURE 15C
COTTON FOR 1912
Do you wish to insure 12o to
15c as a minimum price for the
cotton you grow in 1912V
And would yon be sure of a
full crop in spite of the wind!
Then write and let me explain
fully how its done. 1 will show
you what I did for 500 farmers
in 1911 and how you may try out
my plan at no money. Address
T. J. KING
Richmond, Virginia

I’ll drive; I can drive a four horse
team where Frank Engles
couldn’t drag a halter.”
Now Frank Engles is a young
man living in adjoining neighbor
hood, and by the way is a pretty
good puller of the lines himsell
but the answer Arelins gave elated
grandpa so much that the next
morning, cold and frosty as it was,
| he saddled old Fann and rode two
miles to tell Frank Engles what a
poor opinion Arelins had of his
mode and manner of handling the
lines. Frank, good natured as he
is, only laughed at the matter,
while all enjoyed it, but none so
much so as grandpa.
A Friend.
