Mexia News: MeXia Is rapidly de-
as a co ton market. The sea-
son just closing we have marketed
from wagons about 81, 1000 bales, and
some cotton that should have come
here went to other markets. The
building of the contemplated Oil mill
should increase our receipts next sea-
son at least 5000 bales: besides the
market for seed will be better than
heretofore. With such an outlook our
city should have a board of trade COM
posed of the live business men of the
,ity, who would always be on the alert
or anything that would help build up
he town and keep its advantages as
rading point constantly before the
people of the surrou nding country, and
he increase in our business next fall
would show the wisdom of the move
nent. BY all means let us have the
BOARD of trade.-MeXia News.
