buildings on it bear evidence Of
his energy and industry. He was
a kind husband anu father, a good
neighbor and of a geniality Of dis

farmers did receive benefit from
seven cents cotton and paid up

of surplus, bat because the year
before had been so tight that the
farmers held up and did not 90

THE COTTON OUTLOOK,

From the best information The
LEAdER can gather, the cotton crop in
the territory tributary to Brookhaven
is about weeks later than last year
1t is estimated by those who have
been over the crops that the total
number of bales received at this point
will be about the same as last season.
This estimate is predicated on the
fact that while cotton on the bottom
lands is not so good as last year, on
the hills it is better, and there is a bet
ter stand, and also the fact that what
ever lands were abandoned on account
of the unusually wet season are offset
by the increased acreage planted in
the spring. An early frost would mod
ify this outlook. Some farmers report
the older cotton is shedding freely,
and some that the plant is turning yell
low. The dry, east winds of last week
had decidedly damaging effect and
increased the shedding. So far. we
hear of no worms.
