The cotton crop is decidedly short in
this section and ought to command good
price. But for the fact that about a mi,l>
ion and half bales we're left over from
last year, the price would materially ad,
vance.

THERE can be.no just complaint that it
does not pay to raise cotton, now since the
seed, formerly thrown away to rot, are
commanding good 1gures With cotton
at 8 cents and $40 per ton for seed, bale
OF seed cotton of 1900 pounds, will bring
| the raiser $40 for the lint and S. for the
seed, making the bale of cotton and seed
bring him $45, equal to 8 cents for his
cotton. This is decidedly more encourag-
ing and compromising to the farmer. Cot
ton seed will 60 higher and this will of
course make the profit OF raising cotton
that much the more.
Mr.. E. II. HoUsEMAN, of Brunswick, now
located TEMPORARILY at Sterling Station,
paid visit to his wife last Sunday. Mrs.
Houseman has been for several weeks
visiting Miss Mamie Drsughn. There was
a tinge Of romance around the marriage Of
this young couple. Their wedding invitae
tons were printed announcing the mars
riage for certain date in September.
The yellow fever breaking out in Bruns~
wick their hearts were filed with fear and
dread OF a separation, so the marriage was
hurried up, taking place August 9th. The
bride came Immediately to Marietta and
the groom went where urgent business re-
quired his presence. May their reunion
be all the happier by reason of the clouds
that at first overshadowed their connubial
sky.
