About Country Photography.

That beautiful magazine Country
Life in America says concerning
photography this month; June is a
month beloved by the photographer.
The camera is now used so universal
ly that one is almost surprised to
meet with those who know nothing OF
its use, but there are comparatively
few who make study Of the art for
the pleasure that there is in it. 1t is
the photographer who tramps all day
long for the sake Of perhaps a single
exposure who gets the most enjoy
ment and has the most OF real worth
to show for his art. To such, June
offers rare days afeld. At no other
time is the foliage so full and so
beautiful. There are opportunities
for wonderfully bits Of landscape, to
say nothing OF the charm Of photo
graphing animals, birds and flowers,
which can be done at this time easier
and more successful than in any other
month" This is all right provided
the photographer will not allow what
ever human figures appear in the pic
ture to pose and rubber" at the
camera.

Cotton picking is getting to be
general, and lots of it has already
been picked. and the planters are
only waiting for the giuneries to
open the market to bring some of
the fuzzy staple to town. The
price of cotton is firm, and the in
dications are that the market will
maintain at fair price.
Our young friends, Alcee Ro-
bin and r. F. Gary have formed a
partnership, and will soon open a
dry goods store in the Fournet
building. Both of these young
men have been good and faithful
clerks, attentive to their business,
when in the employ OF others,
which is a sure indication OF a
successful business career.
