Our Cotton Market.
Although the weather has been very fine for
farm work the past week goodly amount Of
cotton has been brought to market, with slight
decline in prices. $50 bales were sold at prices
ranging from sc to 1880.
IL should be remembered that we only quote
the prices given US by the weigher, who can
only give the highest aud lowest during the
week We hear that many charge us with quot
ing prices higher than was paid. This is not so.
1t often occurs that the market declines the day
or day after our paper goes to press, for which
we cannot be responsible. We have no interes,
in misleading the Farmers, and would not do
so for any one, while Mr.. FAINT, the weigher, is
| too honest q man to make false report.

Stop that Shooting.

There is On ordinance against firing off guns
and pistols within the corporate limits Of the
town Of Union. which should be enforced. We
have heard complaints that boys are in the habit
of carelessly shooting birds around dwellings,
the shot striking outhouses and falling in the
yards while persons are passing. to and fro. 1t
is q dangerous practice and should be stopped.
One or two arrests by our excellent town Mar
shall and the penalty enforced, would have q
salutary effect. Besides. we think it is sin to
shoot birds at this time of the year.

the Gin was run. 1t appears that they had
nearly finished ginning the cotton crop Of the
plantation, amounting to SO bales. and had quit

the next morning. Some hands slept in the
house audbuilt fire, from which it is supposed
a spark few into some loose cotton and set the
whole on Ere.
The loss will fall heavily upon the fatherless
children Of Mr.. Gist, who are all quite young
and mainly dependent upon the rent of the
plantation for their support. The colorcd ten,
ants will also be great losers-some Of them
losing all they had. Messrs Farr s. Co., mer.

the tenants, were the heaviest losers. rs most o
the cotton destroyed was pledged to them fol
those advances.
