son of the year when our weekly

arrived and we want to ask each
and every subscsiber to this pa
per to call at this office and set
tie his subscription between this
date and the goth of December.
On a great many who have had
.reverses we have waited patient
~ for their subscriptions and
now that a good crop year is here
and that a good price will be paid
for it we want to ask all of these
to come forward.
AS an inducement for subscrib-
ers to pay we have begun or soon
will begin the greatest voting
contest this section has ever had.
The premiums are unusually val
liable and handsome and they
will be awarded to subscribers
of this paper. The man who
takes the weekly stands just as
good showing to capture these
valuable trophies as the man in

same number of ballots each
week and no ballots are sold.

scriptions weekly or semi-week-

awarded at the rate of ten for a

Selling Their Cotton.

| SAVANNAH, Ca, Sept. -
More farmers in Georgia are
selling their cotton this year for
future delivery than ever before,
In the middle section of the
State thousands of bales have
been sold at slightly above twelve
cents a pound for delivery in
October and November. Mill
men from all sections of the
country have representatives
here for the purpose of buying
cotton in this manner.
This is largely a new propo-
sition to the farmer who raises
cotton. He has been accustomed
to finding out how much he can
get for his product after it has
reached the public square of his
market town, and to sell from
forty to sixty days in advance is
a decided innovation. Most of
them approached have been con-
tent to sell for twelve cents or a
little beyond that figure, but
1898 has been a popular price.
Savannah factors advise the
advance sales. There is money
in cotton at the figures offered
for it. At IL cents a pound the
planter makes at least S25 clear
on each bale marketed.
It is estimated that the farm
ers of Georgia will receive S75,-
900, 900 for their cotton crop this
season against about $50, 100000
last season. Labor is plentiful
and the crop can be gotten out of
the fields in quick time.

The Fall Fair.

A meeting Of the directors Of

the Court House Monday with al
members present. The Fair
which begins Oct. 18th. will be
the most successful ever held in
this city. The Association is
sparing neither money or time
in preparing for the meeting and
the exhibits will contain the

to be noticed is the races. These

fore Prominent hOrsemen from

corresponding with the Associa
ton relative to entering their
stock, and many have already
slgnified their intention of being
here.
The exhibits will embrace al
most every known thing raised
in the South and the prizes to be
awarded are particularly valua-
bic. Great interest is being taken
IN the poultry exhibit, which
embraces the finest stock of
poultry. This exhibit promises
to be better than ever before as
many have raised with a view of
exhibiting in October. Stock
raisers with their cattle, sheep,
hogs; agriculturalists with the
the products of the farm; house
wives with the dainties from the
kitchen, in fact almost every
thing has its department with
valuable premiums for the best.
The last day will witness a bat
tie for supremacy on the grid
iron between the A. & M. Col
lege and the University of Ala
bama. The captains of the re-
speCtive teams have signed a
contract to play here on the date
mentioned and from the reputa-
ton won by the colleges in past
contests the game will be will be
worth seeing.

Weekly Crop Report.

The following is the bureau
cotton report for the week fur
nished through the courtesy OF
the Columbus Commission Co
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 8.
Com plants of rust and shed
ding are general throughout the
cotton belt and as rule the con-
dition of cotton has deteriorated
during the past week. The sta
pie is opening rapidly and in
some sections prematurely and
picking is becoming general in
all districts. Favorable reports
are received from North Caro-
lima, Oklahoma and portions of
South Carolina and Mississippi,
prospects being good for a top
in the first named State. While
the boil worms have disappeared
the boil weevil continues de-
structive and is puncturing near
ly all farms in the southwest,
central and eastern section and
the crop is suffering from drouth
in northern portions Of that
State and causing much shed
ding.
