The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama) 

LIKE OLD TIMES AGAIN IN CHAMBERS SAYS SUN
----------------------------
   Last Saturday [3 April 1915] Public Square looked like the good old times. 
Many wagons were parked all around, trade was brisk and good feeling prevailed. 
As we mingled with our farmer friends we were glad to hear the cheerful note 
that rang out in their talk; only an occasional despondent note was touched. 
Of course, now and then we found someone who had caught no vision of the silver 
lining to the cloud, but these were exceptions to the general rule. This 
optimistic spirit means much in every way; facing adverse conditions with a 
smile lightens every burden and brings to the front our very best efforts. 
Corn-planting time is on now and many an acre will be put in this week. We have 
read this somewhere from the pen of Thos. E. WATSON as he writes on corn-
planting time: “Close the eye a moment and look at the picture fancy paints. 
Every field in the South is there. And in each the pictures are the same, the 
steady mule and the steady man, and the pattering feet of the children dropping 
corn. In these furrows lies the food of the republic; on these fields depend 
life and health and happiness.”
