We were shown an open boil of Cheatham
cotton, taken from the patch of Mr.. c. A.
Reed, on Monday last. 1t had eleven full
opened locks, and its fiber was whittier and
finer than ordinary cotton. The cluster OF
locks measured six inches in diameter, and
the Weld from such cotton will be many
times as great as from the general crop
planted by our farmers. 1t presents strong
argument in favor Of improved seed in cot
ton culture.

receive the solemn Ordinance, which was
administered by the pastor, Rev. E. 4. Cars

We call the attention of owners of gin
houses to the advertisement of Mr.. ]. A.
Brock, who has recently entered upon the
insurance business, and who is now prepar-
ed to take risks upon gin houses, in addition
to other property. His offer to insure gin
houses is from the Oldest insurance company
in the United States-the Insurance Compa-
nv of North America, which has been in ex-
istence for eighty-one years. Mr. Brock
also represents the Home Insurance CoInpa-
nv of New York and the Franklin Insurance
Company of Philadelphia, and the total
assets of the three companies amounts to
fifteen millions Of dollars. These are safe
end reliable companies, and it is altogether
unnecessary for us to commend Mr. Brock
to this community in q business capacity.
The fact that he has accepted the agencies
of these companies is sure guarantee that
they are sound and reliable
