all of the same grade, raised on the same kind of land, on the same day and to the same buyer, part of which was the Ameri- can Round Bale and a part of the old square bale, and that 73scents per pound was the best he could get for the square bale cotton, he was paid, readily, 6 cents per pound for the round bale cotton, making a difference i'll favor of the round bale of S3.- 20 on a 500 pound bale. So just ascertain the number of bales of cotton raised in Drew county last year, and multiply the num- Der by $3.25 and you will see what the farmers of this county have lost on their cotton-crop by not having it compressed by the round bale process.
 In the above we have detailed the facts for the benefit of the honest man seeking the truth, and not with the hope of in- fuencing the one who would not be convinced if he could. Such people we have "tis true, and pity 'tis, 'tis true. ,

TRUST OBSERVATIONS.

In the Drew County Advance of last week it's young editor {who, ordinarily, is a very fair man) casts aside his noviate garb and launches out into the fields of bold assertion and prophecy
 After a few lines of somewhat questionable interpretation and significance he concludes the ar ticle as follows:
 Senator Jones IS a trust mag nate and millionaire and all who are opposed to trusts will vote against him It would be an anomaly indeed for the people Of this country whose very exist ence is threatened by trusts, to continue q man as their repre- sentative in Congress who Is connected with one of the most gigantic trusts that ever came from that home of all trusts, New Jersey
 Now, it may appear ungener- ouS in us to doubt the above. since it is so positively and di- reetly stated but having had a great deal of experience in hu- man nature and the perversity thereof, and likewise the liability, or if you prefer, the aptibility, of all men to occasionally err, we beg our friends pardon for suggesting that he is woefully mistaken or is grossly misrepre- senting the facts in the ease, and being entirely to charitable to believe the latter, we opine that he has been led astray by some interested party, or by some an cient satellite of such interested one, whose eranium is filled with saw-dust instead of brains. An other thing suggests itself to Us and that Is our young friend, 1. C. the editor of the Advance, is giving his mouth too wide a range when he says that all who are opposed to trusts will vote against him. Why should they Simply because the Ad- vance editor says that Senator Jones is trust magnate and a millionaire V He gives us no facts upon which he bases such an assertion; and when we re member that the same charges were made bv the Globe Demo- crat, of St. Louis. one of the most violent and interruptions Republican papers ever publish ed, and by a host of dirty Repub- lican speakers, in the last Presi- dential campaign, and when said charges were fully investi- gated by Hon Wm. l. Bryan, the Democratic nominee for Pres ident and by hundreds of lead ing Democrats all over the land all of whom denounced them as false and slanderous, we must now demur to the same charges, as made by the Advance.
 Then. again, when we eonsid- CT that the Democratic party. and that party only which is the open enemy of trusts, and has ever been and is still fighting them. in convention assembled unanimously elected Senator Jones, for the second time the l Chairman of the National Dem

 Now think if the ground is in proper condition to dig the post holes the labor would amount to about the same. Now this is what 1 would pronounce a clear case of mistaken assumption or mistaken figures.
 Now while we think of it here is another item that might have some weight with us. The wire fence Is an outlay of absolute cash and we are not supposed to be ov- erburdened with it. The rail fence almost entirely an outlay of mus cle, we mostly have a little on hand all the time. 1 have never lived where people were civilized enough to do without fences.

No ~, ID. of II are to hold a so
cial at their hall in this city on
Saturday evening, Oct. 18th, to be
known as u "Shoe Social" at which
time refreshments will be sew, d.
Being asked u hundred times as to
what this social is to be, we will
give, as far as we know, why it is
called a "Shoe Social." Those at
tending will be required to pay as
an Abundance fee one cent for the
the number of their shoes worn,
thus it You wear No. 5, you pay 6
cents, if No. S, then you pay 10
centa, No. s, you pay lG cents, and
80 on according to the number Of
the shoes worn. But what is to
be done after getting in? That is
altogether another question, but
we suppose their will be music,
recitatiors, games, and perhaps
dancing, &c, &c. That all will
have pleasant time goes without
saying. Refreshments will be a
part of the entertainment. All
members and their families will be
admitted. The program is in the
hands OF competent committee
who will arrange all matters per-
tanning to the Social.
