letter from parties who want to
come here and establish a cotton
compress. By all means let us
boost for a compress. We re-

bales of cotton here, and there
will be plenty of cotton brought
here to justify putting a com-
press. We predict it will be
done and that the compresa will
do a good business.

We have been having studies
in the life of David and have
seen him as the shepherd boy,
faithful in his care of the sheep,
anointed by the old prophet
Samuel to be king bver Israel.
We have seen him as he went
forth to fight with Goliath, t rust-
ing in his God, the God of Israel,
to give him the victory. After-
wards when pursued by Saul,
'he Lord is still his shield and
strength. And as a King he
is blessed of God and his reign
is successful and his kingdou
prosperous. The writer faith
fully records the great sins which
he committed and also tells of
his great repentance. We are
now at the close of the life of
this great man. Absalom's ef-
fort to secure the kingdom has
failed, and he is dead. Adonijah.
the eldest of the sons now living
aspires to be King and we se<
that among his followers he ha
the great warrior, Joab, and the
priest, Abiather. It is a strong
conspiracy, but the Lord had
chosen Solomon as David's sue
cessor and Adonijah's plan failed
Our lesson is "Soloman Anoint
ed King"—1 Kings 1-28-38.
Golden Text; 'Know thou the
God of thy father, and serve him
with a perfect heart and a will
ing mind." We now enter upon
a study of Solomon's brilliant
reign. A study of the Hebrew
nation as it reaches the Zenith
of its glory. Solomon reaps oí
the labors of his father David,
he has God's promise that the
throne of his Kingdom shall be
established, and David counsels
him as given in our Golden Text,
The verse concludes with a prom-
ise and a warning which applies
to us as well as it did to Solomon.
"If thou seek him, he will b*
found of thee; but if thou for-
sake him, he will cast thee off
for ever"

Some Compliment.
It is not often an editor hands
himself a compliment.
But this is the exception, and
that is just what we are doing,
because a certain well known
citizen of this community has
and is persistently recognizing
the value of this paper as a relia
ble disseminator of local news,
and has paid us this compliment
in a manner which speaks vol-
ums for his knowledge of all
good things of life.
He is not destitute of this
world's goods, but he possesses
the rare faculty of holding onto
that which he gets, lest the
pangs of poverty overtake hlrn
in his declining years-
He possesses a wide knowl-
edge of local affairs, because he
is a constant reader of this paper
and the knowledge extracted
therefrom Is turned to good ac-
count in his own behalf.
If an important event is soon
co occur, he knows of It in ad-
vance, because he has read of it
in this paper.
If there is a bargain to be had
anywhere in the community he
