there was = big agitation down south
about the use Of jute for bagging, while

banners. vowing allegiance TO cotton
bagging. They went 10 . body 70 the
leading store in the city and. with much
parade. purchased supplies Of cotton

marched out Of town again to the tune
Of Dixie.
The proprietor Of the store was much
surprised . few nights afterward TO
have the leader Of the farmers cotton

blanketing, purchase : big supply Of
