from Col. Primus w. Jones, Of Baker
county, the first bale of new cotton,
and III due time boy with bell and
bulletin went through the streets to
announce the fact that the cotton

WIGHT, DAVIS & co.
The receipt of the first bale Of new

say something about this enterprising

each member of the firm is an active.
thorough going business man, and
gives his personal attention and en-.
tire time to some departments of the
business. Neither Of them is a no.

business, either, and Capt Wight
who does the selling, is conceded tc
be one Of the best statesmen of the
