ed. in cotton. So many people have come
to this County recently we had to prepare
something for them to do, and still there
are many yet out of employ ment.
There are seven towns in this County
where they have cotton markets-Waxa-
hachie and Ennis being the largest. Wax.
ahachie has purchased for the season
about 10000 bales-Ennis not quite so
much. With favorable seasons this year
Ellis County will produce 100000 bales,
besides wheat, oats and corn plenty for
home consumption and much to spare.
Our merchants are generally adopting the
cash system, marking their goods in plain
figures, and no jewing, which has reduced
the price OF goods very much, and it gives
better satisfaction to both merchant and
buyer. Yours truly,
