T.P. Ricaud, Jr., representing Alex
ander Sprunt & Sons, of Wilmington,
among the largest cotton buyers in
the South, will locate in this place for
the season to buy cotton. This is a
guarantee that the highest market
price will be paid for cotton.
The crops in the Fork are good and
the people are stripping fodder. The
cotton is opening very fast, and cot
ton picking will begin next week. A
storm passed through that section
last Sunday, tearing up trees and in
juring the cotton to some extent.
The cotton crop of this county is
fine, and our farmers have made their
arrangements so that they are not
compelled to ship. If a few good ac-
tive cotton buyers will come here this
fall there is no reason why our mer-
chants should not make business
hum. Full market prices orcotton
and cheap goods will draw people and
make a lively trade
The New York Press says: "There
are good many Southern and West
ern buyers present in the dry goods
market, and the volume of sales IS
larger than heretofore. Southern buy
ers talk very hopefully of the outlook,
the cotton and rice crops being large.
Our contemporary does not say from
what part of the South the dry goods
buyers hail, but we take it for grant
ed that there is no one from Atlanta
among the number. The Atlanta
boycott, as we are led to infer from
the columns of the esteemed ConAitu-
ton, is still on.

that was the last seen of him. He
Wet of leaving his trunk at his
boarding house, and without lntlmat-
ing to any one OF his intention OF
leaving. 1t is supposed that he had a
good deal of money on his person,
and foul play is suspected. His friends

have been unable to find any clue to
his whereabouts.
