The Tolson Stock Co., gave its
opening production "rhe Princess

audience much larger than might
have been expected in the incle-
ment weather. The audience was
good tempered from the beginning
and enthusiastic to the point of
excitement by the time the third
act was reached, and not without
justice for the play was well put
on and breezy, and full of humor-
Gus situations. The star part was
carried with considerable spirit by
Miss Lorena Tolson. None of the
characters familiar in plays of this
type were missing the heavy viii
lain two of them in this case, the
migrate the hero, the benefactor,
and the tramp and most of the
parts were well sustained. Mr.. O.
G. Ruff as the philosopher in rags
redeemed the hackneyed role much
of its usual vulgarity and made it

specialties between the acts were
all good in particular some piano.

SATURDAY, Dec. IL, 1903.
THE COTTON CROP.

The government report issued
last week shows that the estimate
of,the cotton crop is just a little
above the nine million bale mark,
which is much below the supply of
the world, and all the cotton mills
ofthe world are short with their
supply on hand.
This last report made the price
of the staple 60 high, and the pos
sibilities are of higher prices as
che season advances. The cotton
crops has been short for the last
few years, and with short crop
again this year, will make the de-
mand brisk and the supply scarce.
The present condition of affairs
is a safe guide to the cotton plan
ter, that it will require several
good crops before the supply can
exceed the demand, therefore, We
can see good reasons why all our
planters should plant part of
their land in cotton, and in order
to get the best result, the advan-
tage of early market, TO avoid the
possible ravages of the carterpil-
lers, the planter should prepare
his land during the winter, and
make planting as early as the
spring season will permit.
The advice from all sections in
Tested with boil weevill is early
planting. in order to have the crop
mature before the weevill can do
its work of devastation.
The time for Reconsideration of
crops is ripe with this section, and
the planter who wants to be sue
cessful and become prosperous,
has to Diversity his crops.
This year all the crops are very
short, rice was a complete failure
cane was very short, but cotton
though also short, reaching hardly
more than sixty per cent of the
ordinary crop, sold at good prices,
we can even say fancy prices, and
this crop is made without expense,
nothing but the labor of the Guilt
vator is exposed, while all other
crops require large expenditures.
The acreage of land in rice will
be largely reduced the coming
year, and from all information we
get, we learn that the acreage of
cane will be considerably increa-
ed.
But all the planters should al
ways plant a few acres of cotton,
it is a cheap, early crop, which
supply the planter with some cash
early in the fall. Plant a few
acres of cotton.

The Gumbo given by the ladies
Thursday night for the benefit of
the sick family of Mrs. Hilaire
Broussard, was very successful,
everything used for the gumbo was
given by our people. and the la
dies were we'll patronized, by gen.
tlemen and ladies, and the de-
mand exceeded the supply. The
amount realized will be about
$1,000 net. Had the ladies only
supposed of such liberal help by
our people they could have nearly
doubled this amount, because the
demand for cakes particularly was
very large. We are pleased to say
that the prompt relief given that
distressed family by the good la
dies have saved their lives, two of
them, the mother and one of the
girls will be able to leave their
beds next week, the other two girls
are yet seriously sick, bat good
hope of their recovery is enter
tanned by the attending physicians.

Young Women's Horrible Death.

Mrs. Lena Wilson, the eighteen
year old wife of Joseph Wilson living
on the ostrich farm nine miles out of
Phoenix on the Yuma road, caught fire
from an exploding kerosene can and
was horribly burned to death before
any help could reach her. Monday
morning she had been ironing and
wished to light her fire for dinner.
She put in some green wood and then
took gallon can of oil poured some
over the wood. Some sparks of her
previous fire remained in the stove,
from which flames come up exploding
the can of oil in her hands and also a
five gallon can of oil behind her. In
a moment she was in a blaze from
head to foot. No one but a five year
old child was in the house. The fran
tic woman tried to extinsuish the
flames but ill a moment. her clothing
had burned and she ran out of doors
with agonizing shrieks and threw her.
self into canal about 200 feet away,
where she was found a short time
afterwards. She only lived few
hours after being rescued from the
canal.
Her burns were too horrible to des-
cribe, as they extended over her entire
body.-Ex.

Tribute to Gen. Miles.

Just before the close of the thirty
seventh annual encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, held in
San Francisco, Capt. 2. FL. Coney, of
Topeka, Kansas, introduced the follow
ing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted by the encampment:
Resolved, That we congratulate
that splendid soldier, exemplary com
mander and patriotic citizen. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, upon his attain
ment of distinguished and honorable
retirement after a matchless record as
a soldier of over forty-two years
service, without just criticism of his
official conduct, began as lieutenant
in the Twenty second Massachusetts
Infantry, progressing by the brightest
grade of heroic patriotism from Man-
assas to Appomattox, during the
greatest Of all civil wars, from 1861
to 1868, and illuminating this record
by his great military achievements as
a successful Indian fighter and again
as great judicial military discipli-
nerian-and organizer"
