IMPORTANT COTTON CIR
:CULAR,
by tho Nswburger Cotton Com
pany, of Memphis, Tenn.

p111yS "a N1SshsEAAA~9
Memphis, Tenn, Nov. sth, 1893.
Dear Sirs:
We have delayed sending out
our usual estimate somewhat later
than former years, from the fact
that we wished to satisfy our
selves thoroughly as to the out
turn of this crop before issuing
any final estimate. We have wait
ed, as in former years, until after
a killing frost, before sending out
our usual inquiries, satisfying our
selves that it is not possible now
throughout the cotton belt tor
another bale of cotton to be raised.
In this instance we have sent out
and made inquiries from at least
three thousand people in the cot
ton belt. There is scarcely a To-
cation where cotton is raised that
we haven't made an inquiry and
received reply. The reasonthat
we are so particularly anxious IS
that this is a very spotted crop.
Even IN our own immediate viclnl-
tv, we find in Lake County, Ten
nessee, that the crop is nearly as
good as last year, while in Dyer
County adjoining, the crop will be
2oto Is per cent. less than last
wear. In Yalobusha County, Mis-
sissippi, where we have our own
plantations, one section makes as
good a crop as last year, while an
other section makes 80 per cent
less. We make use of these illus
trations to demonstrate that the
crop is spotted, and that it is very
difficult to arrive at any mathe
matical calculation in estimating
the final outturn.
Any opinion based on the rain
fall or temperature of the pas
year is very misleading, and will
in nearly every instance bring tn
estimator to wrong conclusions
from the fact that the Signal Ser
vice Bureau, in giving the weather
has only stations at long distance
apart. During the past year i
one vicinity they would have
rain, and possibly thirty mile
from there, no rain for thirty 0
sixty days. 1t is also peculiarl
strange that the temperature mad
some as remarkable freaks durin
the past year. On the second c
August in the Montgomery dis
trict, Union Springs had a ral1
fall of 4lo inches. On the sam
day, Ouitman, in the Savanna
district, had a rainfall of a.
inches. Now, if you will examin
carefully you will see there wa
very little rain at any other poil
in either of these districts on tn
same date. The same thing is al
parent during the months of Jul
and August over the entire cotto
belt. We merely call your after
ton to these matters, to dcmol
stratc how anyone might be mi
led by comparing weather cond
tions with former crops.
We have inquired from the mo
intelligent farmers, why it W;
this crop was so spotted, and VIII;
was the cause of the loss of tt
middle crop. They invariably al
swcr "Sudden hot Easterly wind
very dry weather following 10
temperature. AS we stated
our September circular, we fc
satisfied that the loss Of this nil
die crop would have a serio'
bearing on the final outturn, ar
it would be impossible to mai
the yield of last year.
In this circular we said tc
crop was conjectural, thinkir
possibly we might have a repet

them than the famous whistling by
Mr.. Jno. L. Hoffman, so do not miss
this chance of hearing him.
Then comes that entertainment
dear to every negro heart, a cake
walk. To say that there is going
to be cake walk does not tell half
the truth. It is to be the epitome
of one, the summit of all aspirations
in that direction; it will be the
apotheosis of cake walks, for real

costumes, and the most graceful
steps, and the brightest music. 1t
will be cake walk to be remember
ed in after years, when gray headed
grandfathers can tell their grand
children of the Elks Cake walk, as
the Elks are going to give it at
their minstrel show.
The famous Hartigan Orchestra
will be there to furnish the music,
and everyone knows how rapidly
they have made a name and fame
for themselves as entertainers of the
public in a musical way
1t is to be show that no one

are tired, hear good music, see pretty
innovations along all the lines that
are followed by such Ministries as
Primrose and Vests, Haverly's and

food and very offensive 1t had TO
be cooked right away If it was de
sired to use it.
/. Among the exciting experiences of
the campaign was one with a taran-
lula. One morning on awakening
something was felt on the cheek.
Without moving he asked his tent
mate to see what it was and was told
to lie perfectly still If he wanted to
live. While the tent mate was get
ting stick the tarantula started UP
across the face and stopped directly
over the eyes of the thoroughly para
lyzed man. A smart blow with
stick disloged the insect and saved
the life Of the soldier who says that
he did not pay very much attention to
the blow ia the face since 1t saved his
life.
Shortly after this experience the
regiment was started home. They
came on the transport s'Grand Ouch
ess." Several of the men who were
sick on board died and were buried at
sea. Among the number OF sick was
Mr. Wagner. He thinks that the one
thing that saved his life was deter
mination not TO give up. Another
help to preserving it was the fact that
man in the cooking department was
bribed TO bring delicacies suitable for
the sick from the officers mess.
The ordinary rations were fed to the
sick and being totally unsuitable re.
suited Ia the death Of several of the
men who could not live on hard tack
and kindred articles of the soldiers
fare. Arrived at Montauk Point the
sick man remained there for week
when the efforts OF his friends got him
release and he was taken to a hospital
where he received proper attention.
Had he remained there few days
longer nothing on earth could have
saved him.
Since his recovery he has remained
in Wheeling but the air there Is not
at all adapted to men in his weakened
condition and he has come to Morgan
town in the hope that he will be rid
Of the malaria from which he Is still
suffering. It has taken the form OF
an intermittent fever and an attack
seizes him on each alternate day even
now. These have become less violent
than they were at first and will event.

tions OF the experience it Is neverthe-
less one greatly to be desired and had

would again volunteer for the sake Of
what was seen and learned from the
| first of May when he left college until
the first of September when he left
Long Island for the hospital.

Fairmont Notes.

The following paragraphs are from
the last issue of the Fairmont West
Virginian
The March term OF the Circuit
Court, which commenced on Tuesday
afternoon, promises TO be a long term.
A large number of jurors, litigants
and witnesses has been in attendance.
Judge j. M. Hagans is presiding.
S. S. Dunn, who was indicted for
the burning of the barn of Simon
Moore, in Warrington district, was
brought into Court and entered the
motion to quash and a plea of not
guilty. The case was set to be tried
on the 18th instant.
Morgantown is tickled. 1t has
cause to be, as the suspension bridges
at that place has become free
structure. 1t was made so on Wed
nesday, when the .Monongalia County
Court purchased it at the price of
$24, 500. The modern Athens is to be
congratulated.
1t is learned that Mr. Charles j.
Corbin, who went to Baltimore TO
have his leg amputated, will not have
to undergo such an operation. The
surgeons there think they can relieve
him OF his sufferings by less radical
treatment Mr.. Corbin's many friends
will be glad to hear this.
1t is stated that the final arrange
ments have been made for the build
ing of large brewery here. In fact
the ground has already been broken
and capital TO the amount Of 1926, 600
has been subscribed. A good many
Fairmont parties are interested in the
enterprise, but the greater part of the
capital comes from Pittsburg.
The word is being passed around
that on Thursday Of next week Mr.
Henry Martin, of the firm of Martin
Bros, merchants, will lead to the n.y.
meneal altar Miss Adelaide Watson,
Of near Smithtown. The invitations,
we learn, will be confined to the near
friends of the parties. The Rev. John
r. Foster, formerly rector of Christ 2.
Z. Church, this place, now Of Bellaire
Ohio, will perform the ceremony.
Capt. George S. Peddicord, one of
the oldest conductors on the B. & o.
and we'll known in this place, having
married here, died yesterday morning
at his home in Baltimore. His wife
was Miss Helen Raymond, daughter
of the late Judge A. f. Raymond,
and sister of Judge w. S. Raymond.
Probably no one along the line of the
B. g. @. between Wheeling and Balti-
more was better known than deceased.
The grip was his aiiment. He leaves
a large family.

FRENCH PLAY.
Students in that Department will give
Play on Tuesday Night.

A French play is to be performed
under the direction of the French de-
partment of the University in Conn
mencement Hall, Tuesday evening.
March II at o'clock The French
classes have been diligently studying
the play in preparation for this per-
Torrance which is primarily for their
benefit; but other persons interested
in the study of French are invited To
be present. An interesting and anus
ing comedy has been chosen entitled
lie Sanglier, by Alexandra Bison.
The actors beside Professor Mckenzie,
are all students of the University.
Most Of them have already had some
experience on the stage, and they are
being coached in the acting by Profess
scr Patterson Of the department of
Elocution. A play given entirely in
French will be quite a novelty and it
ought to be of great value TO students
of the language TO be able to witness
such performance.
