The recent rains have retarded
cotton picking to a certain extent.
Cotton seems to be very slow about
opening. Gin men opened at So 40
tor seed cotton, but the price of
seed has gone up on the market
and seed cotton has reached SITS.
We think it possible for it to reach
$500.
Someone said we were mistaken
about that being Sam Thurmond
and avow that it was his double
Oscar Haley. Perhaps it was; we
would not be too positive about
that as there was so much excite
ment upon their entrance into the
village. Let it be whichever it may
it was equally surprising!
What is the matter with our
good friend, Rus II. Kuss? We
miss him SO much. Sylvan, I feel
that we should be good friends and
if we knew where to find you we
would stop and shake your devoted
hand the next time we are in your
village. All ye backsliders return,
0, return, to the columns.
Sunday evening a wave of excite
ment alarmed the entire village,
and leaning out of the window what
did our orbs of vision meet but the
modest, shy, timid and difident
Samuel Thurmond, the very same
Sam who went with Oscar Haley
to Cairo when the Stacker Lee
made an excursion trip to that
place, and he was actually and cam
didly driving a surrey teetotally
loaded down with female girls.
John B. Hopson, ST., member of
the firm styled Jno. B. Hopson &
Co., accompanied by his charming
1ew-made bride, returned on the
Rees Lee Sunday from Jackson,
Mo. The new Mrs. Hopson was
ormerly Miss Ella Roberts, of the
lbove named place. She spent sew
,ral weeks in the village in the
spring as the guest of Mrs. Ella
1opson, wife of the sterling bust
less man, Geo. r. Hopson. All
Who had an opportunity to meet

PRESSED with her gentleness and
,racefulness and friendship was
ormed between her and Jno. B.
Iopson which eliminated in hap
y marriage. Mrs. Hopson has
ute number of friends to well
ONE her into the community. New
