There is said to be more sickness of mild
type in the country near here than at any
time for several years past. The extremely
warm days in August, with picking cotton in
the early morning, probably caused it.
Cotton is coming in fast to-. day and is worth
from % to % cents in this market. Although
tho worms did some damage the crops are
counted at from one half to one bale per acre.
--Apropos of fruit growing in Texas l..
A. Stroud, esq, has brought in several boxes
of very fine pears which he says grow without
any attention and that the trees thrive III
most as well rs the common forest trees
A load of pumpkins in town the other day
excited many remarks and "reminiscences of
the old states and readily sold for five cents
each. 1t seems our soil and climate is
adop' d to the growth of almost every kind
of fruit and vegetable produced in the south
ern and western states, if the farmers only
give them Il chsnce.-The work on the
new Jail goes bravely on and it will be, when
completed, quito an addition to our town, but

bly, greeted his coming, and on tho next day
or his arrival about 5000 people were on
the grounds. Services are held from four
to six times day. Yesterday (Sabbath) it
was estimated that 5000 PEG pie listened
to the gospel from the lips of this grand
man. Tho results up to this date (seven
day sorvicc) are, % professions, "a additions
to the church, and the community religiously
strengthened to degree never before real
lied. The meeting will probably continue
until the 18th, when it i, supposed Major
Penn will move his mammoth pavilion TO
Mckinney, ms he has received from the ci,,-
zens there petition signed by hundreds of
citizens, and tho church has made all neces-
sary arrangements therefor. We have it

Hon. CARTER HARRISON, Democratic
mayor of Chicago, believes in genuine civil
service reform. He has notified all city EN-
ployes, that if they become candidates for
office, that they must resign their positions,
or else DO removed from office. He doesn't
intend to let any person, while he
is mayor, use the patronage of city
position to secure Office, and this looks like
sterling, genuine Democratic honesty.

In 1915 there were only 1858 bales OF
cotton consumed by southern mills. During
the year lS79s0 thore were 22l, 1897 bales
manufactured into yarns aud goods. This IS
an encouraging increase in five years time
aud is indicative of what the south will DO AS
. manufacturing section in another decade.
Commenting upon this in his annual report
of the national cotton exchange, Mr.. Hester,
tho secretary says: southern consumption
tor the year shows further market increase,
the figures overlapping last Yeas by 33,O36
bales, or is per cent.
Georgia leads tho list, having added 2j,CC)
spildles, making her total 1884, and all
her machinery has been worked to its full
capacity. Both Alabama aud Mississippi
have increased in great ratio, and now have
much machinery in progress of construction.
North Carolina has GA mills, 10 new ones
having been added this year, making her
total spindles H. 1853. Two large mills in
Virginia have been idle reducing her figures
considerably. The stoppage OF Memphis
mills has offset tho increased requirements in
other portions of the State. Louisiana has
made no progress, but the Lane mills are now
being enlarged to 10000 bales capacity. South
Carolina has added $500 spindles to her old
mills but the number of establishments re-
norted haa not increased
Many new mills are now being erected in
various parts of the cotton states, and much
of the old machinery is being replaced by the
latest improvements for both spinning aud
weaving.
