Farmers who are still holding thei,
cotton should see that it is not allowed
to lie upon the ground and rot. 1t ia a
matter OF surprise and astonishmcnt
when one contcmplates the amount of
loss tho farmers, as class, sustain
every year by letting their cotton get
wet and damaged ON the ground. If
you have determined to hold it for Il
mo nth or more. bring it to this city
and store it in the warehouses. The
storage charges are very reasonable.

The Piedmont correspondent of the
Greenville Mountaineer says: "Rey. T.
e. Ligon announced from his pulpit ON
Sunday that the probabilities are that
he would not come back TO Piedmont
another year. He has been elected by
the trustees Of the Gospel Mission Mt
Columbia to take charge Of that work,
and in connection with it to edit and
manage the religious paper published
in Columbia known as the NTay Of
Faith. Mr.. Ligon's work in Piedmont
has been of the most successful char
| acter, and so far as his people are con-
cerned it wonl1 he perfectly agreeable
to them If the powers that be would
station him here for the rest of his life.
His removal from us will be loss not
only to tho Methodist. church, but to
the town. Mr.. Ligon is hustling,
energetic, broad spirited citizen and
preacher, who delights to put his broad
shoulder to the wheel of any move
ment that is for the good of our town
and community. We ire certainly
sorry to lose such character"
