FORTUNE SLIPPED ANYWAY.
w. s. Burgess Sold Spindle Top
 Mountain for S1.6OO,

Ozark, Sept. 5.-(Special)-I is passing strange how fickle fortune is sometimes allowed to pass the door of one man to find lodgment in the home of another W. S. Burgess, who now lives at Abbe- vile Junction. in this county, owned three hundred and twenty acres of land. em- bracing the famous Spindle Top Noun tain, in the Beaumont Texas) oil district only a few years ago. When oil was first discovered there by experts it was kept a secret until the lands could be secured by a syndicate. Unaware that he was a millionaire MT. Burgess ac- cepted $l.600 for his holdings, thinking he had driven good bargain.
 Cotton receipts at this point will be less than 200 bales for the first week in September this year. a market condition never witnessed here before.
 As soon as a boil pops in the patch the thought of F cents a pound causes the farmer to go right down after it, and he never stops until he tucks the cash way down in his jeans. But the crop Is not going to be what farmers had "a right to believe it would be the first two weeks fin August nor what was reflected by the Governments report for that month. The excessively hot, dry weather the latter part of August and the first week in Sep tember. has greatly deteriorated the con- dition of the week, and this. 1t is be- lieved, will be shown by the Govern ment's September report.

Scarlet Felts are Worn.

This year a good many scarlet 1eit hats are being made up for mountain wear. They are trimmed with black wings and are worn with loose floating yeils of automobile red. Always remem- Der, however, in choosing shades of red that the bright ones are more apt to bring out any sallowness that your skin may possess. while the deep wine shades give clearness to the complexion. This is a fact that most brunettes do not take into account. They think that any shade of red must be becoming to them' and they go around with such sallow faces that they give the effect of Indians or at least half breeds.
