Mr. and Mrs. Randolph return-
ed Friday night from a visit to
Marlin and Cooledge.
D. J. Reynolds, one of the best
men of the Mullin country and
one of the Eagle’s appreciated
friends, was looking after busi-
ness matters in this city last Sat-
urday.
Miss Lora Hudson has been
spending the week at home, her
school at Miller Grove having
been suspended a few days on
account of sickness in the com-
munity.
L. R. Conro has completed the
1918 tax rolls for the Goldthwaite
school district. The total prop-
erty valuation in the district is
$1,235,615 and a total tax assessed
of $6,174.34.
A. H. Miller, one of the long-
time friends of the Eagle, trans-
acted business in the city Tues-
day. Mr. Miller has been a
reader of the Eagle since its first
issue and his .subscription is now
paid more than a year in ad-
vance. i
J. W. Burleson, a ranchman
and banker, writes from Lamesa
that fairly good crops have been
made in Dawson county and con-
ditions are satisfactory in that
country. He remembers kindly
his Mills county friends and
wishes prosperity for them.
Most of the Eagle readers ap-
prove of the new government
rule of stopping the paper when
the time of subscription is out.
There are a few who do not real-
ize that the publisher has no op-
tion in the matter, but in time
will appreciate the wisdom of the
War Industries Board’s action
and will understand that the pub-
lisher must obey the rule. Some
of the Eagle editor’s relatives
and close friends have been drop-
ped from the rolls, much as we
regretted to do so, but we hope
none of them will remain off the
list permanently.
Liberal Donations.
The loyal spirit and liberality
of the people can be judged by
the manner in which they have
responded to every call and have
never failed to go “over the top”
in great style. The latest ex-
ample of this liberality was the
response- to the Red Cross call.
The Chapter here received a re-
quest for a “shower,” designat-
ing the number of articles appor-
tioned to the Chapter. The num-
ber asked and received is here
given:
Asked Articles Received
25. Bath towels ..... 180
50........Hand towels .. > 112
50........Handkerchiefs .. • 490
50........Napkins ........ 200
10 .......Bed Sheets ...... 36
Besides these donations, the
Chapter received $26 in cash. The
soliciting, gathering and packing
was done by the ladies of the
sewing and knitting department,
who also contributed liberally and
are entitled to much praise an'l
credit.
A Called Meeting
To the Baptists of Mills County:
As there was no meeting of
the Executive Board at the fifth
Sunday meeting at Star, and no
place set for the next meeting,
tlje Executive Board together
with the preachers in the associ-
ation and all members of the
churches who are interested are
requested to meet in the Baptist
church at Goldthwaite Wednes-
day, Oct. 16th, at 3 o’clock p. m.
for the purpose of setting a place
for the next fifth Sunday meet-
ing and devising means to carry
on the work of our denomination
•in the county during these stren-
uous times. G. W. JACKSON.
Moderator Mills County Baptist
Association.
Mrs. H. R. Graves left Satur-
day for Connell to visit her son
Tom and his family.
T. J. Young, one of Hanna
Valley’s wealthy stockmen, was
looking after business matters in
this city the first of the week.
P. T. Willis of Priddy was a
visitor to the big town Saturday
and reported having just returned
from a pleasant visit to San An-
gelo.
Dr. Anderson and family of
Brownwood were among those
who came to attend the funeral
of Miss Eloise Anderson and be
with the family at that sad time.
Presiding Elder Gregory came
over from Lampasas Tuesday and
went to Star to hold the fourth
quarterly meeting for the Metho-
dist churches of that district.
T. R. Wilcox, one of the Eagle’s
appreciated friends of long stand-
ing of the Center City country,
returned Monday from a visit to
W. B. Evans and family at Katy.
He also visited the oil fields about
Houston while awaV and was
well paid in information for his
trouble.
The Eagle is always glad to
Seed for Next Year
Greater diligence will be re«
quired this year than common to
select and save suitable seeds for
planting next year. The drouth
in some localities has injured crops
to such an extent that suitable
seed will not be easy to find. Some
will have an abundance; others
will have difficulties to harvest
sufficient seed of the right kind;
many may be required to buy
seed.
It is worth considerable effort
and expense to save the right
kind and proper amount of seed.
So much depends upon good seed
that one cannot afford to plant
poor shed. x
Where farmers have a surplus
they owe it to their unfortunate
neighbors living perhaps where
crops are very short to advertise
so those who wish to buy can ob-
tain a suitable supply. We are
all more or less dependent upon
good crops since production will
be disturbed by withdrawing so
many producers. Until peace is
possible we must forget self in a
_ large measure and devote consid-
