A New York special of the 2lst
says that ''the price of cotton fell
sharply to-day, going fully 81 per
bale below Saturdays closing. The
break was ascribed To the much
larger offerings by interior of cotton,
and the prospect of such increase in
supplies on the way to Europe as
had forced lowering of prices on
the Liverpool market. To.day's
price of cotton was 1925 per bale
below that of year ago." This is
rough on the cotton producers.

The Mayersville Spectator says
that "Col. Lee Richardson, of
Vicksburg, who owns the Tennessee
plantation in the lower end of this
county, and which is looked after
by Mr.. G.. Fl. Simrall, has introduc.
ed a new labor into our county.
Col. Richardson was very much in
need of cotton pickers and found
them hard to get, went out into the
eastern part of the State and made
arrangements with an Indian Chief
who secured several of his braves
and came up to the Tennessee place
to pick cotton. They liked the
country so well the Chief has sent
back after more. Certainly this is
new era in Issaquena wlen the red
man comes back to bis native land,
not as they were once, bat as cotton
pickers. =
