December Is. and also secured from
each OF the active ginners his estimate
of the quantity OF cotton to be gInnea
by his establishment after December 13

crop ginned is based on the estimates
Of 626 canvassing agents. who were in
strUcted 10 conhne their estimates to
the territories canvassed by them and
to the knowledge gained therefroLa. One
estimate therefore serves as a check

December l3. while, according to the es-
innate of the canvassing agents, the
percentage was 9.S Applying these es-
Inmates and the general average bale

the ginners is 1896. 300 bales. and ae-

/" THE TWO SISTERS"

The dramatic story Of Denman Thomp-
son and George W. Ryer's play, The
Two Sisters" runs mainly through in
cidents in the lives of bad woman from
the east and good man from the west.
Of coure both sections have their good
and bad and they are shown in this re-
markedly clever play. But there are
no rescue situations or the slightest sug-
sestion that might bring the blush Of
shame 10 the cheek Of modesty. It's
the story of life and love, of hope and
disappointment and the happy realiza-
ton that always comes at the proper
time to those that suffer and wait. You
viii recognize all the characters, every
community has them, and they will give
you infinite amusement because they viii
always be saying and doing the very
things you know they would naturally
say and do. There's no straining after
effect or going to France, Italy, or any
other faraway place to bring characters
on the stage, and you can never by
and possibly Enow-exeept as an in
finite impossibility. "The Two Sisters"
is a play of home and love, of the peo-
pie you know and ike, that you can
laugh at any sympathize with. And they
will all be here on Saturday, March 2s,
1T the Grand opera house.
