By reference to the ad. of the Man
ing Oil Mill, it will be seen that the
company proposes to furnish the bag
ging and ties and gin, for the prices
named therein. We were doubtful
about the language and called on Mr..
Thomas to know if he really meant
to furnish the covering and do the
ginning at such remarkably low
figures. He assures the public that
it is true. Now let's figure on that
little. The bagging and ties on
bale will weigh about % pounds,
which if cotton brings I cents per
pound will bring s1.54, whereas the
only cost for both ginning, bagglng
and ties is 81, leaving the farmer
cash balance of 81 cents. Manning
