1t was bought by LeHardy & Co.

bale left for New York on the City Of
Memphis. From New York it will be
taken by the first steamer of the Gu
nard line that sails after the Memphis
arrives
The general opinion of the local
trade is that considering the grade of
the new cotton the price paid was
more tnan fair one. The quality CT
the cotton may be judged by the re-
port of the classification committee,
which was a. folows "Ne find tne
bale to be cotton of the new crop av-
eraging fully middling in cleanliness
mixed incolor, damp and partyly gin
cut"

toppled the bale on its side, mounted
it, made short introductory talk in
wnicn he told his thirty five or forty
auditors uAat the cotton had been
raised by Deal Jackson, colored far
mer of Dougherty county, bought by
Parker & Co, of Albany for ii cents
and then recited the report of the
classification committee.
Then he called for bids. The first
was J. T. Stewart & Son, VINO offered

said Mr.. Donotan, Its where you

timed to go up quarter of a cent at
time until it reached IL cents. No
one seemed to be anxious to 60 above
this figure and Mr.. Donovan ma call

declare LeHardy & Co. the purchas-
ers, when wag hustled from the cot

then announced the bale knocked

The first bale last year, which was

In Oregon there lived a young girl
with three large strapping brothers
and her father and mother. The
brothers, it was current opinion in
the locality, could whip their weight
in grizzly bear. As they were
called ''chips off the old block it
was to be. assumed that the father
was of the same type.
In this family the daughter, Marga-
ret Black, was regarded as the idol
also the slave. Margaret was to be
worshiped SO long as she obeyed.

was to be ruled. It was another case

Margaret's obedience was not a
matter of dispute until one day when
she happened to walk farther than

the Black home and lost her way.
She walked and ran through the I'M

path until she was thoroughly
frightened littls girl. Then she Woe
fully sat down facing the prospects
of a night in the woods.
In this predicament she was, found

Wild turkeys migrated in similar

they all disappeared.
They travelled due west, and it is
