Of these results and what they signify for

applications were secured by other agents.
Third, 1t is charged that Webbcr not on.

In tho Good Old Times.

Mr.. Thos. Parkins has shown us bill of
two bales of cotton sold by his father in
Hamburg in 1913. The two bales weighed
682 pounds and he got for it = cents per
pound. In part payment for the cotton he
received 20 pounds of coffee at 10 cents
per pound; 10 pounds Of sugar at 10 cents
per pound, and 30 pounds of iron at $l.s8
for the lot.
He also exhibited to us bill of goods
bought from IL merchant by his father in
1915. For ozcnburgs he paid / 1 cents per
yard; for yards of calico he paid 374
Gets; set cups and saucors, 81 cents;
pound of sulphur, 12, cents.
1t will bc interesting to compare the price
of these articles with the price of the same
goods at this time. 1t may be little
comfort to the farmers to realize that
cotton has been down to the unrcmu

there were no guano bills TO pay out of the
