GAINEsvILLE, TEX, Sept. 20.-The
ladies' Exposition society held a
meeting in the parlors Of the Lindsay
house this evening. Quite number
were present, and the report of the diff
ferent committt eS showed rapid prog
ress on the part of the society. 1t
was decided to have dance at the cot
ton platform at an early date, the pro-
ceeds TO be used In preparing exhibits.
The ladies are engaged in meritori-
Gus cause and are prosecuting the work
with the same vim and energy us was
evinced In the beginning.
The Independent of this city this
evening scores the Gainesville CORE
spondent OF the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat for the ISLANDERS on the people of
Texas that recently appeared in that
stalwart Republican sheet. 1t charges
the editor OF the Hesperian as being the
| Globes correspondent at this place,
and accuses him of attempting TO hoist
the bloody shirt and misTepresent the
people. A grand rally of the Democ-
racy is to take place here next month.
and has been made the occasion of the
grossest Misrepresentation by this cor
respondent, whoever he may be, and il
was doubtless done for the express pur-
pose of "flring the Northern heaTt.h
Some designing individual has
charged that the cotton buyers of this
city are dealing unfairly with farmers,
that they are not paying the quoted
prices for cotton, and advise the farm
ers that sherman Is preferable cotton
market. For fear some of the
farmers who bring their cotton
10 this market may be deceived by
this platter, we will show the absurd
ity OF the story. The cotton buyers all
claim that, "if there is any difference
Mt all in the prices here and at Sher-
man, 1t only amounts to the difference
In freight rates from the two points
aud cannot be great enough to Justify
man To take the time and haul his
cotton twice az far" The farmers
will understand that the Gainesville
cotton buyers and the Sherman buyers
are identlcal-they represent the same
firms in a great many instances
and of course each has his instruo.
tions as TO what price he must pay fol
cotton, and there can be no reason
why said firms should work against
! the interests OF Gainesville TO build IN
sherman. Gainesville as a cotton
market will compare favorably with
that Of any town in the state. The
his hest cash prices are paid for cotton
J Buyers from all parts Of the state
are located at this point who
enjoy the reputation OF paying the best
prices the market will afford A nun.
! Der OF our farmers HAYS expressed thelI
confidence in our people and market
aud these false rumors have not been
fruitful of any damage.
