AND JOHN W. WILLIAMS, TRADING
AS BELT, WILLIAMS & CO.,
ps.
JOHN F. PARKER, GEORGE T. PARKER
AND PETER HENRY PARKER.

THE object of this bin is to procure decree
l. for the sale of the real estate of Joseph
Parker, late of Charles County, deceased. The
bill alleges that the said deceased. died about
eighteen hundred and fifty, intestate, leaving
a widow, since deceased, and James A. Parker
of Prince Georges County, John F. Parker of
Charles County, Geo. T. Parker of Saint Mary 8
County, Peter Henry Parker of the State of
Virginia when last heard of, all of whom are
above the age of twenty-one years; and also
one Thadeus Parker, who died about eighteen
hundred and sixty-fve, intestate and without
ever having been married. The complainants
then show that they are the legal owners of
whatever interest the said James A. Parker, it
being child's part, may have in said real es-
tate, as also that of his wife, a certain Emma
R. Parker. The bill then charges that the said
real estate is not susceptible of division among
them entitled, without loss and injury; and
prays that the same may be sold by decree of
this Court. 1t finally asks for process against
the said John F. and Geo. T. Parker, and an
order of publication against the said Peter
Henry Parker. 1t is therefore ordered, by
George A. HUNT Clerk of the Circuit Court
for Charles County, sitting as Court of Equi-
ty, this fifth day of May, eighteen hundred and
seventy-one, that the compliments cause a
copy of this order, together with the object
and substance of the bill, to be inserted in some
newspaper published in Charles County, once
a week for four successive weeks before the fif-
tenth day of July next; giving notice to the
said Peter Henry Parker, one of the defendants
in said bill, and warning him to appear in this
Court, in person or by solicitor, on or before
the eighteenth day of October next to show
cause if any he has, why decree shall not
pass as prayed.

THE COTTON MOTEMENT.

NEW YORK, January 80.
The cotton movement for the week was
large both in receipts and exports. Receipts
at all ports for the week were l5O,S0O bales
against l4G, ,Ss7 last week, 1885 the previous
week, and l39,G3l three weeks since. Total
receipts since September 2,l9S,2l3, against l.
73O, 500 for the previous year, showing an in-
crease of 4G7, ,7O4 in favor OF lie present season.
Exports from all ports for the week lO5,S2
against 64GGG for the same week last year.
Total exports for the expired portion OF the
cotton year l,325,3o9, against 922, ,sO7 last year.
Stock at all ports 5GO,6l2, against 4s9,995 this
date last year. Stocks at interior towns l2s,-
243, against 9S,04 last year. Stock in Liver
pool 572, 900, against 100000 lastyear. Ameri-
can cotton afloat for Great Britain 2s5,OOO,
against 163, 900 last year. Indian cotton ahoat
for Europe s9,437, against lol,s56 last year.
The weather South during the past week
was generally pleasant and quite favorable for
picking operations. Advices from the IN
terror towns report cotton pouring in from
plantations, and at many points warehouses
are ovenrowded. This has caused some
change in estimates of the crop. 1t is difficult
to find any one now bold enough to place the
minimum below $4,000 and from this point
the estimates run up to 1000, 900 bales.

THE eEoRGEToWN GEMS Us.
-rnax curious Carfssfasasse. :.

The GEORGETOWN Times prints the following
article In regard to the "curions coincidence"
mentioned by Itself and THE NEWS, and taken
exception to BY Mr.. E. P. Butts:
While we are always ready and willing to
make correction Of any error that appears In
our columns we wish 1t understood that no
false notion of the exposure OF the guilty par
ties to the error will prevent us from giving
such facts as may be necessary to acqult us OF
blame. An abstract from the Ninth Census
is now before US in the precise shape and
form that we received it from the clerk OF
the Court of Common Pleas for the county,
and was made by, and Is in the handwriting
of, the chief census-taker of the county. IT.
gives the number of white males as 1881;
OF white females 1900; of colored males
6266; of colored females 1925, making a
and total aggregate of white and colNed OF
1888, as published by US fortnight ago. But
"Mr E. P. Butts, chief deputy and aching mar
shall" figured out matters very differently. Ac-
cording to him, the white males number 1424,
white females 1869. colored males 6244, and
colored females 7l2G-total l6, l63. Now,
whether Mr.. Butts, who sits down in his Office
the census, be right, Is a matter Of no concern
to us except as going to show that still more
curious coincidence might happen by finding
that the returns of the census takers tai
lied with the report given Of their work by
those whose business and duty 1t Is to make
up that report for publication. Even suppose
that Mr.. Butts Is right, and his agent ID
wrong, we feel eXonerated from blame.
The only way that members of the country
press can reach Information Of this kind Is by
and through the local public offices and off,
culs, and if information derived from such
sources Is not to be relied upon, then we In
woke the charitable aid of Mr.. Butts to put us
In the direction where correct Information can
be obtained, and In return for his kindness we
will promise never again to offend by taking
for fact any statement hereafter made by any
one of his appontees. If "a false impression"
has been given to the public, In regard to the
population Of GEORGETOWN the Georgetown 0nn
information was derived from official sources.
Either Mr.. Butts or his appointee Is wrong,
and we leave the matter to them to reconcile
the discrepancies OF their different statements
in the best manner their several or combined
ingenuities may invent or suggest.
