This Warehouse is loeated on the corner
North Alley and Water street, remote from
the negro cabins that are numerous in the
lower portion OF YazO0 City, and Is there
fore removed from polite fire source.
The Warehouse was built last year, is Of
brick and one Of the best Warehouses IN
Mississippi 50 far as the safety Of cotton there
in stored i concerned.
1t was conclusively demonstrated last sea
son that the Farmers Warehouse is higher
than any other cotton warehouse in Yazoo
City, andsit was the only warehouse above
last years water. This IS d most important fact
ito stOrers Of cotton Other warehouses were
compelled to remove cotton stored in them
last year, at considerable cost and much
damage to the cotton, thus greatly depeciaf-
ing ite value and causing some to sell for
much less than it would otherwise have
brought, But the cotton in the Farmers
Warehouse was above the water and conse-
qnently not at all damaged thereby.
The Warehouse was mainly built by the
Farmers, though some Of Yaz00 City's best
business men have stock therein.
It has capacity Of about 10000 bales.
Its rate of insurance is as low as the
lowest
Those DESTROYS Of storing cotton could not
