II cotton would never 60 above
or below the present price, cents
and other circumstances remain
the same, this section would be in
better condition than ever before.
1t is a fact that cannot be denied
that there are farmers in Winston
county to-day who have managed
the past few years to pay off debts
that were made when cotton was
worth 10 cents. And debts that
they failed to pay off when cotton
was 8 and 10 cents they have lifted

lived as well, if not better, than
they did on 10-cent cotton.-Wins

man, and who only thinks of himself
or his immediate family. The space

this terrestrial sphere, the quicker

Social economists are still crying
out loudly against the falling off in
the number of marriages that are
taking place. The new woman Is
becoming independent and no long
er looks upon matrimony as her on
ly and ultimate hone. While We
may regret to discover falling off
IN the Dapy crop we must cOngTat
ulate the new woman on har
good sense. Those of us who ale
out of the market and safely ancte

When President Cleveland wrote
his famous message concerning the
Venezuela difficulty, be was hardly
criticised by friends and opponents,
who claimed that the message could
have no other result than a war ber

cognition of principle that no fors
