GATHERING THE CROP
Activity on the Farms .-- Rushing
their Products to Market -. Reef
Cattle...Small Grain.

The people on the farms ure mp to their eye
sbrows at work grthering the COTTON.
The wet summer made rank the growth o
the weed, and Its density OF foliage, as Il con
sequence, retarded its opening for two weeks
later than usual, but the recent dry weather
and the scorching hot sun have made the
cotton open faster than ever before.
The demand for pickers Is already great
and the white fields are suffering in weight
and sample in many instances because OF 6
failure In promptness in gathering the crop.
Some farmers every year lose heavily be
cause OF delay in gathering, but 1t seems tc
ulated our people to the greatest energy IN
gathering 1t before the wind and rain storms
may beat 1t out or otherwise ipJure 1t In
weight or sample.
The farmers are losing less time this yeal
in needless handling OF the crop than evel
before, and nearly every body about the vii
lage takes his cotton to the gin in the Wagon
that hauls 1t from the field, without unload
ing 1t. Observation-Disclosures, A., , -
this country will soon have no further use
for the old fashioned "cotton house."
This Is just the season for the sowing o
small grain and pasture lands, and this worl
needs Immediate and emerge tic attention.
Barley, OATS rye and oLher seeds can be hat
at our stores, and we presume the same !!
true of the stores in other towns. Those far
mers who have not the ready cash will fint
it greatly to their advantage TO make ar
rangements with their merchants for tint
0oeQeQ SeeQ.
The cattle market seems to be glutted, ant
as many farmers who have surplus cattle
which they do not care to feed through th'
winter, they might find it profitable to pickle
one or more beeves for their own winter use
Beef is wholesome and furnishes the chang
OF diet that is so much needed.
No man who has only one or two fat beeve
should sell them at the ruling price. AL
such cattle might be protitably kept until tn
weather Is cold enough to pickle them. l
the people In town can afford to pay from
eight to ten cents q pound for beef. VIII,
should the owner Of an OK or yearllng sci
them on foot for two cents pound?
Persons living in the country cannot haT'
beefin the warm weather as often as do peo
pie living in town, and 1t would be grea
waste II they did, but there is no good reason
why farmer should not pickle one or NOR
beeves for winter use, and he is simply doinl
O foolish thing who sells his beeves for trif
and then buys bacon at high prices.

A Frishtened Cow.

No man who owns a cow can afford
to have her afraid of him. It is loss
to the owner every time she is fright
ened. To run a cow from the pasture
is throwing money away. The COW
is a milk-making machine, and
should be kept in the best working
condition, and this condition Is one OF
quiet. A cow in any way worried
will not do her best. Make pets OF
the COWS and they will make money
for the owner. The milk of a fright.
ened or abused cow is poisonous.

associate of Wrigbt,wa charged with
the crime, and was arrested, tried
and found guilty. He was sentenc-
ed to Imprisonment tor life. His at
torneys, Messrs. Clay & Blair and
Col. G. D. Phillips moved for new
trial, which was granted.
Goggins has been in Jail ever
since. He was placed on trial again

Messrs. Clay & Blair made speeches

clear and comprehensive charge to
the jury, and they retired to make
