capital stock is now taken and in sight
except about $4,000. Westminster will
got cotton mill and deserves to have

sscribors and it is wonderfully surprising
how tho people around Westminster
nave takon stock in this enterprise.
Many farmers Of moderate means have
given, 81 900 each and poor widowed
women giving from 500 up. This shows
what people OF moderate means can do
when they work together. A man with
500 to spend in worthy enterprise in a
community is worth moro than q mill
1onaire who hoards his money"
The cotton seed buyers of Westmin-
stor ran the price of scod up to II cents
per hundred tho first of this week. Tho
seed from an ordinary balo of cotton
brought SO easily. No landlord who ia
FREQ from debt, and not needing money,
need to trouble himself about selling
cotton seod, evon at that price, for thoS
arc worry valuable as n fertilizer.

stated tho calling of another teacher.

sistant, Miss Bessie Epting, got along re-
markedly woll teaching the pupils the
past six weeks, considering tho fact thern

We boliovo Westminster will havo q
cotton factory in 1900. Everything is
working satisfactorily towards that end.
While not all tho capital stock has been
subscribed at this time, those connected
with tho prospective enterprise feel hope
full of it being built. OF course, somo-
times unforeseen obstacles got in the way
and plans arc defeated. We trust, how
ever, we will havO mono of these things
TO contend with in this matter. 1t is
understood that there will be no meet
ing of stockholders to decide upon loca-
ton and to consider other matters until
every dollar has been subscribed. Let
everybody lend a helping hand in this
great enterprise. A. i. GossETr.
