COTTON TEN CENTS.
Four Bales of Long Staple Brought That
 Price Thursday.

Yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, D. c. Bnrford & Co, purchased four bales of long staple cotton from .Capias Williams. paying the round figure of ten cents per pound there for.
 The cotton is what is known as the African long staple variety, the staple of W hich measured E inches in length.
 Gapias Williams is an industrious colored man, and his four bales averaged him $55 each.
 Only few days ago another col ored man sold bale of the Cook long staple cotton at 10h cents per pound, and these two instances of high prices for long staple cotton should certainly induce our farmers to plant more of the long staple variety.

At Merrill Institute Next Monday Night

 Monday night, September 2Sth, at the Merrill Institute, Commander John C. Brain, formerly of the c. $. Navy, the last prisoner of the war, will deliver his famous lecture. As this is the first opportunity, and in all probability will be the last. that our people will have of hearing the story of some of the most daring eX- ploits of the Confederate navy, from one of it's most distinguished repre- sentatives and active participants, none should allow the opportunity to go by without hearing this in- structive and interesting lecture. The lecture will not only be liter ary treat, but the funds to be de- rived therefrom will be contributed to aid in raising a monument in memory of Jefferson Davis-one whose very name stirs the patriotic blood in all who hail from our beau tifnl and beloved Southland. Ad mission, 90 cents. No extra charge for reserved seats.

THOSE MEXICAN DOLLARS.
A Bluff Made by Gold. Bug of Lonoke
 Called.

Cashier Roberts of the Bank of Central Arkansas last week import- ed ten Mexican silver dollars to this place for the purpose of selling them at 50 cents each as an object lesson to the silver people. He sold them very readily to some of the most prominent silver men in town, and could have sold more if he had had them. And we are informed that Dan Daniel, vice-president of the bank and chairman of the Lon oke Free Silver Club, called at the bank and requested MT. Roberts to order him $l GOO worth of Mexican dollars at once, and was told that they could not be had. There are other business men in town who want Mexican silver dollars at 50 cents each, to the amount of $5, 900. They want them as an investment as the bullion value of the Mexican dollar in the market now is 6l cents It is plain to see that the sale of these dollars in large quantities would be losing game for the gold bugs. and the sale of them in small quantities for political purposes only shows 10 what desperate straits the advocates of the exclu- sive use of the yellow metal are re- duced. -[ Lonoke Citizea.
