OFER THE STATE.

We had the pleasure OF a visit on
tuesday from Mr. ID. D. Aates, OF our
county, the pioneer peppermint grow
sr in Mississippi, and probably the
most extensive grower Of that herb in
the South.
He commenced the business in this
region about ten years ago. and now
has a hundred acres in mlnt, near
Prairie Station, from which he will IS
usual obtain large yield Of oil. lie
informs us that the mint is coming up
finely this season.-Aberdeen Exami-
ner.
Mr.. w. A. Cook, Of Newman, this
county, was in 10 see ms Tuesday
Speaking of the improved long staple
cotton sold by him few weeks ago at
Vicksburg. of which SO much has been
written, he said it was his intention
next year to plant his entire place with
ii /; that he would increase the staple
to full too inches, and feels sure he
can make with proper cultivation. two
500 pound bales to the acre. He has
already sold seed In almost every
Southern State, and finds 1t impossible
to supply the demand. Edward At
kinson, of New York. well known as a
forcible writer on the subject OF cot
ton, is favorably impressed with the
new variety, and writes hopefully OF
results that must follow its introduc-
ton; while prominent firm in
Charleston thinks 1t is bound to take
the place of Sea lsland.-Raymond
