shine is Not Favored by Marriage
able Couples.

Only twenty-five marriage licenses
were issued for the month of May-the
smallest number in that period of time
for over year. The month of flowers
does not seem to be winner as mar
rying month. 1t may be because the
daughters in most homes are too busy
at that time of year with house clean,
ing to think of marrying. County Clerk
Michael, who issues all the licenses,
holds to the belief that it is because the
manageable young have not recover
ed from the spring fever sufficiently to
embark on the matrimonial sea; but
it is probably because the brides to be
prefer to wait for June, the month of
weddings. However, there are twenty
two couples who preferred the month
of May and their names are given here

THE TIME HAS COME.
Old Settlers Association Should be Or
ganized for this Section.

To THE EDITOR: I think the time
has come for the organization of an
old settlers association that shall
take in as many of the pioneers in
the settlement and development OF
the county as care to join.
In this day of multiplication of
clubs and societies for mutual and
civic. helpfulness Redwood county
should not be left without more
perfect and fraternal organization
whereby the early settlers may be
brought more closely together and
the memories and friendships of
early days be perpetuated.
Your recent suggestion in the re-
port of the old settlers picnic was
timely and hope it will meet the
hearty approval of all whose settle
ment in the county would make them
eligible as members at such date as
might DE nXeQ upon.
The new society should not in any
way conflict with or take the place
of the old settlers association al
ready formed and which has the
honor Of doing all that has beer
done to keep old memories alive.
The members of the present or
ganization should be recognized as
elder brothers and entitled to re
gard as such and to an honoreG
place in the memory of those wht
though not quite to the manor borr
would join hands in an earnest eff
fort to help push Redwood county
still farther to the front in the de
velopment of the business and socia
interests of our great state.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
manv years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced itincurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
OHIO, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a teaspOonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for par
ticulars and testimonials.

Prices there advanced to 4 points in conse- quence of our. further rise of to q points yesterday, arising from the visible supply showing a sharp increase.

Weather has improved to increase re- ceipts to a much larger extent. People have been scared from entertaining any ring on the market on account of the bugaboo of untold quantities of unpicked cotton, but Is now suspected that the parties most actively spreading such stories has been quietly picking up cot

cothran & Co.'s New Orleans Letter.

cothran d. Co.'s New Orleans Letter. Gilbert & CIay's Cotton Letter to Goth
 ran & Go.
 New Orleans, February 7.-The cotton market picked up additional strength to- day under the influence of continued bad weather. and good trade reports. The at titude of Liverpool was favorable, indi- eating a readiness to respond to current influences which were sufficiently eneour- aging to dissuade opposition to the up- ward tendency of prices. Speculative transactions swere effected in q more lib- eral manner than had been observed of late, but for all that, there was no ap- proach towards excessiveness and really the main stimulus of the situation was de- rived from the demand for actual cotton.
 The apparently high level of price has alone served to deter active engagements notwithstanding that sentiment has all along been unusually friendly. Thus in the near future, traders will probably be more disposed to pay attention to facts than predictions.
 Crop estimates have had their day, and still the size of the crop is as much in doubt as it has been at any time during the season. One thing is certain ,hcw- ever. If there is no dimunition in the spot demand, and the weather continues so un- propitious. there is not likely to be any pressure on the market to amount to anything.
