First Bale of New Cotton.

The first bale of cotton for Grant
parish of this years crop was GIN
ned, pressed and shipped to New
Orleans by Mrs. A. G. Deal on
Wednesday, August 14th, via the
I. & P. railroad. 1t was grown on
her river place at Deals landing,
was ginned by Mr.. John Randolph,
and weighed $50 pounds. Mrs.
Deal has quite q reputation for
FIRST bales in Grant parish, hav-
ing carried off the honors eight
times within the last ten years.
The soil of her place seems to be
peculiarly adapted for the early
maturing of cotton, which is quite
an item, as the price paid for the
first bale is no email matter, and
repays the effort to secure it.
