Holding Our Cotton.
The New York World remarks

The marketing of the cotton crop is governed by economic conditions which can never be changed by any possible com bination In any given year-which cannot be changed at all except slowly and with out observation as part of general i'm provement or retrogressiOn in trade condi- tions.
 As fast as the cotton of the South can be picked it will be marketed. because the planter needs supplies from the village merchant who has bill against him. The merchant in turn has bill to settle with his jobber in the nearest town. The job Der must satisfy the demands of his bank CT, the banker must make his rernittances to the seaboard cities. and they in turn must settle trade balances with Europe.
 Our trade conditions are calling for the early marketing of the cotton and corn crops. We owe their exportable yalne to Europe in payment for imports we are bringing in. If they could be held back business would be dislocated and interna- tional trade brought to a standstil. But 1t Is in possible. 1t will be marketed rap idly, and every pound of cotton shipped from the port of New York will count for its full value in relieving the European de- mand for cash l.. settlements.
 The cotton crop will not be marketed as fast as it is picked because in most cases, at least in Arkansas, the planter is not in debt to the merchant to any great extent, if at all. and can there fore afford to wait until he gets fair price for his crop. With an increased demand for cotton everywhere and d shortage in the crop winch will reduce it 20 to 9 per cent, there is no good reason why the farmer should not get about eight cents for it, provided he will not rush it into market. Our farmers should pay no attention to the talk about the demands of "interna. tiOnal trade," international balances, , etc. What we want to avoid is failing prey to the New Orleans and New York crowd that seek tO bear" their cotton. It will be very foolish to mar ket any more cotton than is actually necessary unlesss it commands a fair price.

 Since determining to try this induce meat to the citizens of the county we find that the Paragould Press has also received. the inspiration, and. is suc- ceeding beyoud it's, reasonable expect atjpn.

Under the guard rail Of the George
Cakes a female swallow has built her
nest and she makes daily trips to Old
Mission with the boat. Every morning
before the departure Of the boat she
may be seen darting under the guard
railing and entering her abode. But
the most curious part Of this strange
proceeding is the fact that her mate,
the male bird remains here until about
time for the return Of the boat, when
he flies away and generally meets the
boat about two miles up the lake and
joins his companion in her nest. You
may call il instinct that prompts these
birds TO such action, but there seems TO
be reasoning power connected with
