Bryan's System OF Buying
Cotton.

In some sections OF Bryan's trade
territory reports about Bryan as a
cotton market get circulated and
in spite Of their unreasonablenes
find some people to credit them.
1t has been said that a farmer
cannot market his cottokn Bryan.
This should command serious
attention, because Of codrse il is
untrue. The farmer is at perfect
liberty to sell his cotton or other
produce himself, and any of our
merchants will take pleasure in
giving him information as to the
market, and render him all other
assistance in their power to the
end that he may get the fullest
prices for his products.
our merchants do not buy cot
ton, AS is the custom in some towns,
and poor custom it il, too, for
the farmer. Merchants who buy
cotton must resell to the spinners'
buyers, hence they are specializing
on your cotton, and you may rest
assured that they do not speculate
with a view Of sustaining any loss
es, so, il a merchant pays you a
a fraction more than a buyer can
afford, who buys for the spinner
direct, there is a bug under the
chip, and the farmer, though he
may not realize it pays for both
bug and chip.
Tie way cotton is handled here
is the only Legitimate way; our SUI
perior compress facilities assure us
from eight to fifteen nonresident
buyers here every season, in addi-
ton to the six or more resident
buyers, all Of whom represent the
manufacturers direct, and who pay
the very highest price in cash.
Our large mercantile establish
ments are kept filed with good
fresh goods, which 60 out in large
quantities daily at prices that no
city or town in Texas can compete
with.
There is a custom among a good
many farmers Of getting the assist
ance of merchants in Bryan in sell
ing their cotton. They entrust
their samples to some merchant in
whom they have confidence, and
ask him to sell their cotton, and
get all they can for ii. This is al
togethe, voluntary however, and
the farmer can sell direct to the
spinner buyer if he chooses, and
indeed a great many of them do so.

Death of ". T. Campbell.

Monday afternoon, DIR. W. T. Camp
bell died at his residence on Adams
street, Northend, after an illness of a
few days.
Mr.. c. was a native Of Maine. He
was born ut Machias. May It'll, 1928
and was therefor considerably past the
scriptural limit, three score years and
ten, the span of human life. He came
to this coast, California, when he was
but fourteen years of age, by sailing
vessel and "around the Horn" He
remained but short time, however,
returning to the "Pine Tree State"
He came west again in 1882, settling a
time at Alki, now Seattle.
A few months later he came to
Olympia where he resided till his
death. He was veteran of the Indi-
an wars of lS55-6, and drew one of the
higher grade pensions for the loss of
his eyesight sixteen years ago. Not
outstanding his total blindness the
doctor was skillful and artistic maui
ufacturer of products of woodworking
tools, the sense of touch alone guiding
him in the shaping of forms of beauty
and utility. In 1857 DIR. G. was mar
ried to Mrs. Phoebe Common, who died
last October. Two children resulted
from the union, George, who died in
1889, and Mrs. Mary Deggler, who resid-
ed with him at the time of his death.
The funeral rites were observed at the
Christian church Wednesday forenoon.

The Mason County Logging Co.
have made application to Commits
sioner Bridges for the purchase of sew
eral blocks of tide lands north of the
Fourth street bridge on Westside, for
storage and booming of logs. The
plans of the company have been some

and if satisfactory arrangements can

main dumping way, will be below the

Yesterday noon, Robert Frost, our
popular County Treasurer, WAS united
in marriage to Mrs. Catherine A. Tur.
ner, at the brides residence on East
side, by Justice King, and by the after
noon train the happy couple began a
short tour down the Sound to celebrate
the event. Quite a number of friends
assembled at the depot to see them
start out on a tour emblematic of the
journey of life they will hereafter
travel together. Both parties are we'll
known in the community and hosts of
friends extend heartfelt greetings and
wishes for future happiness.
The Mason County Lumber Co. are
discussing the feasibility of using the
trestle and track of the Port Town
send Southern to boom their out put
of logs below Fourth street bridge.
The reason for this contemplated
change of plan is to avoid the swift
cnrrent which flows at times through
the narrow channel at ebb-tide, which
may make it difficult to handle the
larger sticks" in making up booms
to order. Mr.. Anderson, representa-
tive of the company, says that there is
ample room available along the
trestle to the Westside mill, for stor-
age OF the output from the Black
Hills.
In a quiet way, probably the Owl
Club, composed of some of our leading
