The Texas Stockman and Farmer as.
sures the cotton planters that they
will realize better prices if they will
market their crop slowly. Perhaps so,
but anybody who will keep a close
record of the markets will find that
advising farmers how and when to sell
their crops is about as Improbable as
the juggling of broken glass or the in.
depreciation of dreams. The only safe
rule is to make the farm as nearly as
possible self-supporting and sell the
cotton when the farmer needs cash OF
finds market on which he can sell a,
q fair figure.

CALLAwAY COUNTY, Missouri, has
had the disgrace of another lynching
heaped upon her; but it seems to be
the unwritten law of the land that
crimes such as was thus summarily
expiated are not to be treated as ordi-

of the act of the lynchers of Divers,
they were sure they had the right man,
and went straight ahead with the
hanging.
