Minnnrln Cotton stats

Missouri should be spoken OF IN
the Spperlative degree in whatever
aspect she Is discussed. She pro
duces everything that makes for
mans necessity, comfort or luxury.
Just now her cotton producing capa-
biInics are under discussion, ard the
showing she makes is wonderful,
even for tho few counties which haze
thus far cssayed cotton culture, In
the map just prepared by Labor
Commissioner @ Anderson, showing
tho surplus production Of the sew
eral counties 10 Missouri the cotton
shipped was valued at s2,l67,7 $50.
Aud this 10 dozen counties in The
southern aod southeastern part Of
the state, viz, Christian, Taney,
Ozark, Howell, Pemiscot, Oregon,
Ripley, Butler, Stoddard, Dunklin,
New Madrid aud Mississippi.
The cotton surplus was more yalu.
able than the corn surplus, or the
hay surplus, or The granite and stone
surplus, or the hardwood lumber
surplus. Take for example the
county Of Dunklin, small county

mount to S2.sO2 ,72S, n sum by far
larger than that Of 40 of the best
counties 10 the entire state. And
her chief product was cotton, Of
which she shipped lastyear 1896
600 pounds.
The possibilities Of Missouri are

Late Literary News.

Fourteen noted writer's were sent by
The Cosmopolitan Magazine to the Pam
American Exposition to study the most
interesting features with view to pre-
pairing the most beautiful souvenir of any
Exposition ever made, from both liter
airy and an artistic standpoint, To "Mr.
Dooley" was committed the case Of the
Midway. Judge Robert Grant went from
Boston to give bird's-eye view Of the
Exposition in his own most delightful
style. Albert Shaw and Nicholas Murray
Butler studied the value of the Exposition
and its educational influence. Charles
Y. Turner, to whom was committed the
color-scheme of the Pan American, ex-
plains the methods by which he has pro-
duced such marvellous results. Arthur
Brisbane, in his own incompatible way,
takes the Incubator Baby and Niagara
Falls for his subject. Director General
Buchanan contributes very interesting
paper on the organization of the Exposi-
aaon. Prof. Pupin, Col. David Porter
Heap, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Lavinia
Hart, Julian Hawthorn and John Brisben
Walker are among others who consider
the various phases of the Exposition.
Under the direction of editors of the
Cosmopolitan i05 photographs were pre-
pared showing eYey variety of architec-
ture and every phase OF life not neglec-
ting the midway, at the American.
These are engraved and printed in style
never surpassed even in The Cosmopol-
itan's high standard of art.
At Chicago thousands of copies Of the
Worlds Fair number were sold at one
dollar copy after the edition.-the plates
having been worn out-began to be ex-
hausted. and few copies at the price Of
FIVE dollars-somethiug that has never
happened in the history Of my other pc
riodical since printing was invented.
The Cosmopolitan Pam American SOU
venir will be an even hner number than
that of the Chicago Fair. To those who
have visited the Exposition it will recall
viyidly in days to come every feature
they have seen and those Who are unable
to 90 there win secure such compre-
hensive view Of its main attractions as
win be well worthy of preservation.

For the benefit Of some who fail
10 find married life a. pleasant as
they desire Il 10 be, we will relate
an incident which occurred here not
many years ago. A certain man
came 10 a prominent lawyer Of Hills.
boro and wanted 10 employ him 10
bring divorce suit, averriog that
hts wife made life intoIerAble for him |
and he coald not live with her any |
longer. fuffesponse TO questions Of
the lawyer he iosisted that he was
not 10 blame, but bad done bis duty |
faithfully and fully, but made ad'
missions which convinced bis ques.
toner that he was not 80 innocent
after all. The lawyer finally told
him that he would not bring the suit
Just then, but told him 10 go back
home, be pleasant and helpful 10 h's
vile, treat her,as he had done while
he was courting her, and after two
weeks trial Of such course II he stIll
wanted a divorce 10 come back. The
man did not come back al the ap.
pointed time, but a good while later
he met the lawyer aud informed MIN
that bis advice was good; the remedy |
had acted like a charm, and he now
had one of the happicst homes in the
country. Doubtless others could
use the same remedy 10 advantage.

An exchange says some very pertinent
things in the following: This is the sea-
son Of the year when the country is
flooded with catalogues from department
stores in the larger cities offering to sell
goods cheaper than home merchants can
furnish them. 1t may be true that on
some articles their prices are less than
ours ask for them but have you taken
into consideration the fact that you have
to pay the express, besides running the
risk Of getting "just as good" because
tive are lust out OF the article orderedi"
Then another argument against 1t is this,
the mail order man pays no taxes where
by schools, roads or public institutions
are kept up; our home merchants 90
The department stores do not contribute
one cent toward building or maintenance
of our churches; our home merchants DO
Why do you send your money toanrm
thousand miles away? You never see II
again. When you patronize your nome
merchant he scatters it out in his home
territory every cent except what is abso-
lutely necessary to renew his STOCK,
Leave the catalogue men alone and speno
your money with the men who nave
furnished you with the necessaries oi
life on credit when you didn't have the
| money to pay for them.

General Ceburne's staff in the confederate army has
made interesting contribution to the history Of the civil
war in recent letter to Richmond Dispatch He has
brought to light paper written by General Cleurne in

number of negro slaves fight on the side of the conf

between the Missouri and Arkansas valleys and the Arkan-

thing Mr.. Dooley has recently put out:
Longfelow had thought to communicate to The

He was merely maker of verses. Yet he wrote lust
