The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-11-16

Cotton is selling in Canton from 4 to
to AZ cents. The low price hluffed out
planters at last, there has heen very
little cotton brought in this week,
planters are preparing to take chances
for a rise, rather than sell unc er the
prevailing depression.
The business League of jackson
have at last succeeded in getting
cheaper freight rates for that CITY,
What is the matter with Canton that
some such favor can't be extended her.
Perhaps its because no effort has been
made by the business men of Canton
to secure SO small concession from
the railroad AS long as farmers foot
the bills without kicking, it's all right
the business men of Canton can just
keep an Saving wood without dis
turbing themselves about other folks
troubles.

Mr.. G. c. Barbour, who is not only l.
successful merchant, but practical
levcl-headed man on all matters per-
tanning to the material interest of the
people, in reply to request OF the
ZINES submits some very plausible
and sensible views as to the causes
that have operated to depress the
prices of agricultural products. The
TINES wants to publish the opinions of
intelligent men of the county on all
questions of public interest, and insist
on our people, waking mp to the chang
ed conditions. and assisting 10 solving
the various economic problems that
confront the farming element of the
country, an interchange of views is
what the TINES is working to bring
about. By writing occasional commu-
nications for the paper is good way
to encourage this end.
While in Chicago, Mr.. Charles l..
Kahler, a prominent shoe merchant OF
Des Moines, Iowa, had qnite serious
| time of it. He took such a severe
| cold he could scarcely talk or navi-
gate, but the prompt use of Chamber.
lain's Cough Remedy cured him of his
cold so quickly that others at the
hotel who had bad colds followed his
example and half dozen perst ms
ordered it from the nearest drug store
They were profuse in their thanks tC
Mr.. Kahler for telling them how to
cure a bad cold SO quickly. For sale
by all Druggist.
The TIMES is pleased to note the evi.
dence of enter prise exhibited by the
Picket's trade edition last week.
Messrs. Ross and Almon deserve credit
for their energy and push in showing
up Canton so creditably in the face of
the fact that Canton has long been
known as what newspapers call dead
town as far of newspaper patronage is
concerned. There are u few live, ener-
getic men in the city who recognize the
potency of printers ink; to these the
town is indebted for the little business
prosperity that it enjoys. We have
tried to pump little vitality into the
defunct corpses, but so far with little
success. If we should turn our battery
against the business men OF Canton
they will have only themselves to
blame. Remember that Yazoo City
and Kosciusko hang like fiery .word
above our heads and unless our mer-
chants and business men OF the city
evince more enterprise and public
spirit in reaching out for trade and
business through the proper channels,
which is the county press, they May
expect to get left.
Messrs. G. w. Covington & Co., have
recently added to their stable very
handsome Kentucky saddle and har-
ness stallion, ENBOYD.. He will be 6
years old next spring, 1s& hands high,
dark chestnut sorrel, star in forehead,
heavy name and tail. good bone, very
stylish, and splendid combination
horse, a fine breeder and subject TO
registration. ENBOYD's breeding is of
the best, his pedigree is unexceptional.
A visit to their stable and personal
inspection of this great acquisition to
the county will well repay anyone in
terested in improving their stock.
Mountain Slasher being dead and
Tramp Denmark sold, ENB0YD was
purchased to replace them, and we say
without fear of contradiction. that he
will in every respect, equal, If not
excel those we'll known sires. A
DIR. Jones read us an anonymous
letter few days ago which he had
inst received through the post-office,
notifying him that his course in Oppos-
