Liverpool there is a tare of 81 pounds
on each bale of cotton sold there, that
is, the price of cotton is SO made that
they pay for Fl pounds less than the
gross weight. We can cover our cot
ton with cheap cotton cloth and place
four or five Stats over the covering
and under the ties. These Stats will
aid much in holding the cotton in
place, and if those who handle it will
be a little careful and fasten their
hooks under the edge of a slat, no
harm will be done to the bagging. Let
the weight or tare of the new bagging
be carefully marked on each bale,
then the dealer would see whether the
tare vas too much or too little and
govern himself accordingly. BY the
next cotton season we can have a bag
,ging made from our cotton of uniform
weight, whether it be one>Iialf,r one Or
two pounds per yard.
/ I hope our Executive Committee
will devise somei simple IddtAllt for this
season, that all our farmers may act
uniformly. And, if our cotton dealers
wall not handle our cotton for us when.
thus put. up, then our State Agent can
negotiate with the factories and with
Liverpool dealers for all the cotton we.
will have and at prices more remnn-
erative than we have received for
years. Now is the time for the farm,
ers to act. The factories have less
crude cotton on hard than is usually
at this time, ] and this fact and the
short crop will make both the manu-
.facturers and spectators ready buyers.
And while the necessities of many
may require quick sales, they need not
be forced. into the hauds of the specu.
lators. Arrangements can be made
by our Agent that as fast as cotton is
placed at his disposal he can draw on
it and pay to the producer nearly it's
value, so he would not have to wait
long for any considerable part of his
earnings. E. MEAREs.

Among. the many Improvements and
worthy enterprises in our beautiful. city,
there are none, to which we can point
with more pride than to the well-known
and popular music house of Hume, Minor
& Co., situated on Ninth street, opposite
the Capitol Square.
The energy and enterprise of these
gentlemen has virtually brought the great
piano and organ factories of the North
right at our doors, where we can purchase
the best make Of instruments at prices
which cannot be duplicated in the largest
cities North, and they deserve the thanks
and patronage of our citizens for bringing
to u city not only these advantages, but
for concentrating a trade here from the
South which heretofore went North.
George A Mlnor, the head Of the Rich
mond house, has been a familiar figure
upon the streets and in the homes of the
Virginia and North Carolina people since
boyhood. The confidence Of the people
which he enjoys is too well known to be
given any mention. Pursuing the study,
of music by the light of the campfire
during the war, he succeeded in placing
himself in the front rank among the mu-
sicians of the South, and is the pioneer
piano and organ salesman of, Virginia and
North Carolina, and to him more than
any other man is due the growth of the
music trade of these States-nearly every
music house in this city, and many in
other parts of the State, being the fruits
OF his energy and enterprise. Through
out the entire States of Virginia and
North Carolina the name of George A.
Minor is a household word, while his
partners, r. G. Hume & Brother, of
Portsmouth, and Hume & Parker. Of
Norfolk, are the oldest dealers in Virginia.
having been known for years as the old
and reliable piano and organ house Of the
South. .~.4.t,
Hume, Minor & Co. have never per-
mitted their names to be associated With
any but frst-class pianos and organs, and
at the recent Virginia and North Carolina |
fairs carried off the first premiums on the |
great Decker and Wheelock pianos and
the sweet-toned Wilcox & White organs.
The justly merited reputation which this
firm enjoys makes it perfectly safe for
any one to order an instrument by mail
