notice in TIE LEADER, October
18th, the data of some fine cotton
picking being done in southeast
Lincoln. 1t is an old adage, and
true. "The longest pole gets the
'simmon." O. ii. Baily, age, %,
picks 375 pounds per day; Jacob
Moaning (eol.) picks III lbs, in 124
hours and in four days Gncluding
the above day. he picked 14l4 pounds.
Clifton Bailey, aged II, picks 22S
pounds per day: Ben Carney, age ~.
picks 3l3 pounds per day. The latter
after realizing the fact that he could
pick 313 pounds of cotton in one day,
decided at once that he could support
il wife. Hence he clandestinely left
his employer on the morning of Oct.
Goth, and in the evening of the same
day he drove up to the ''Parson" with
Miss Docia Thomas. and there in the
presence of the family, his brother
and the writer, the Parson quickly
tied the nuptial knot. May peace,
happiness and prosperity attend them
through life.
