ABOUT COTTON.

1t is interesting TO read the report o.
the special agent of the Agricultural De-
partment on the Gotten crop. and the
consumption of the staple I'm 1895 by tho
Southern States. According to the re-
port the crop was 7,lGl.O9i. the value OF
which was S293 sos $50. and the average
area required for the production of one
bale was 2.S2 acres, while in some
States two acres were required. and in
some others over four acres were nee
essary to produce one bale.
The number OF bales consumed by
Southern cotton mills during the year
was S75.S35. North and South Carolina
and Georgia being the chief consumers.
South Carolina seems TO have used the
greater number of bales during the year
than any other Southern state. the
number being 257.7C0.
The report also shows that Texas
raised more cotton than any other State
that crop being l.90j337 bales. Georgia
and Mississippi produced over a mil
lion Of bales each, while South Carolina
made 76i,70o bales and Alabama 6G3, 9lG
bales. These figures both as To con-
sumption and amount of crop produced
were collected with the greatest care
and are absolutely correct

that fully S5,o00.000 worth OF pea

Thought was horrible-what IL. in fact,
she cared for this Samuel Sladding?
What if her subterfuge about her en-
gagement 10 him had not indeed been
an attempt TO offend herself against
me. but just an expression Of her wish
really to be engaged to Shading? And
Eladding-this extraordinary person
had an understanding with Sallie; and

rebel officer who had saved his life
then; n great remorse had seized her
the part of the destiny influencing the
mother in the play; perhaps my own
serious face, too, had affected her. AZ

now had changed her course. We were

groaned.
Its desirable to have you engaged
at once to somebody, as have stated,
and there's nobody you've gone so far

"You intend to let Sallie elope," said I,
almost maliciousy.
"Elope!" cried my mother. Good

"Well. amen" said my mother, almost
gaily. But here she grew prim and
sober. We were approaching the house

Don't you ask for her. She may not

Miss Henlow indeed would see Mrs.
