but II goes.) The robber was found to

Dallas got bad black eye in the cotton
business to-day. A number OF farmers
brought in cotton to-day nggregutng
sixty bales, and, being offered but s.G5c
for IL, said they could get S.s0c at Plano,
and thlthcr they went They made Il car
AVIAN about 4 quarter of mile long as
they moved out, and 1t was sight not
wen calculated TO do Dallas good. The
difference IN price offered by the two
towns would have made a total of about
Si5 on the whole lot, and for that small
amount Dallas could IN afford
to allow twenty wagon-loads of cotton to
be driven out OF the city, 1t is said that
Lancaster, lIutchins, WaxnhaChic, In fac
all the small towns around Dallas, ar,
paying more for cotton than is paid here
and that fact is initiating strongly aguins
