by Agreement Only Long Staple Seed to
BE Planted This Year.


MEMPHIS. Jan 19.-Mr. Sol Cohen, of
Gunnison, Miss, who is one of the
largest planters in the Mississippi val
ley, and who was in this city Sunday,
states that there will undoubtedly be Il
decreased yield of cotton in his section
this year. as compared with last season
Not only will there be a smaller acreage
cultivated, but large number of plant
ers had agreed to plant only long staple
cotton.
In this movement the planters will
have the earnest support of the country
merchants who have signified their in
tention to make advances only to those
who plant long staple seed. This, Of
itself, will cause large decrease in the
yield And in addition only the amount
of acreage will be- put in cotton that can
be cultivated and picked out by the
regular employed labor of the planta-
ton. Even sacks Of short staple seed is
being shipped to market, and the move
ment inauguratod in the valley will also
be adopted by many hill-land planters.
1t is the short staple seed that is so pro
life in it's yield, and It's product, as com
pared with long staple cotton, is from
two to three cents per pound cheaper i'll
all the markets Of the country.

AN ELECTION AGREEMENT.
Rival Lovers let the Election Decide who
Shall be the Most Favored.

A Hazleton, Pa, dispatch of the
18th instantsays; Thomas McGraw,
a Democrat, and William Koons, a
Republican, courted the esame come
ly lass, Hattie Bailey, who seemed
to look with favor upon both. The
two swains chanced to meet at her
house a month ago and fell to talk
ing politics. Both wanted to bet
on the election, and Miss Bailey
agreed to be stakeholder. When
it came to deciding OF a wager,
MoGraw made this proposition:
"Two's company; three's a crowd.
If Miss Hattieis satisfied, the cleo
ton shall decide who shall have the
exclusive right to her company IN
the future" Miss Bailey was per-
fectly satisfied, and Koons, enter
tanning no doubt of Harrison's re-
election, gladly assented.
McGraw called upon his sweet
heart last evening, and was surpris-
ed to find his old rival there ahead
of him. An explanation was de-
manded, but rather than make a
scene, McGraw induced Koons to
leave with him As Koons had
been heard TO say that he would not

THE CUSHION STORY.

Going again to old Madame
Skinfint's, and in this sun"
Teddy's voice, usually good-na-
tured drawl, had an accent now
keener and sharper than Jen was
accustomed to. She was pinning
on her hat in front Of the kitchen
mirror, while Teddy, his long legs
dangling down, sat on the edge of
the table, regarding his step-cousin
with an expression in which sur
prise and annoyance were mingled.
Jen's face reflected the look. She
had long been used to regarding
Teddy in the light Of an abject
slave to all her caprices, and this
faint sign Of disapprobation star
tied her.
"Well, Teddy Barry!" Jen said,
turning full around.
"That's the name," said the un-
disconnected Ted. II was only Won
dering, my child, why you wasted
so much time over that old French
woman. You broil yourself every
day going down there to make up

for her, and read to her. Oh! |

here, but what hurts me is that you
seem to feel it equally your mission
in life to waste your sweet strength
on her"
