to know what headache means, and back
ache, and sometimes is sadly borne down
by this new experience of life.
All the pesn and misery which young

Cotton Bale Of 1872.

'sThe Brown cotton corner
say new Orleans man, lis taking
great deal of queer cotton to
New Orleans. The staple has be-
come so valuable that the owners
of cotton gins are scraping the
floors, and have made up several
bales of waste cotton. Perhaps the
most extraordinary tale, is one
that arrived lee from Georgia
1t was of the crop of 1872: and is
consequently 81 pears old. It's
owner held out for sixteen cents
"When cotton went up to four
teen cents in New Orleans he
shipped it there to be ready fer
the sixteen centr he pledged him
self to get with orders to his ag-
ant to sell whenever that figure
was reached.

The Country Paper.

The average weekly editor US
ually has his all invested in his
newspaper pr operty. That invest-
ment generally represents from
one to two thousand dollars. But
it is worth more to the town than

any other local enterprise. AS a
rule, the newspaper represents to

a good newspaper. Not through
local pride alone, but for practical
reasons A newspaper is constan-
tly doing ten times as much 70 r

with a general circulation through
out the county, and we will show
you an up-tO date, prosperous,
progressive community. And we
will also you a paper that is worth
five times as much to that com
munlty every year as the editor
manages to make for himself. :
y = People ought not to
stop to think about these things.
1t is an important matter. 1t is
their own that is involved-the
progress and welfare of the COM
munity; therefore of themselves
individually. A local paper is
absolutely necessary to any COM
munity. If they keep the people
of a community in touch with
each other by giving them the
news of their town and county,
for that alone they are of value
and are worth far more than the
dollar a year that is usually
charged for them. If they merely
chronicle the progress of the COM
munity and keep the local pride
aud progressive spirit aroused
they are worth still more-far
more in fact than the town ever
spends oU them. Bear this mind
No merchant, no grand jury, no
town council that spends ever Y
year all that they can afford on
the home paper whether that
expenditure makes it actually
necessary or not makes wiser,
more profitable investment. They
are not giving the home paper
something. On the contrary, it
is earning euery cent it gets and
more-provided it is paper that
is worth picking up ia the road.
And if it isn't that sort of paper
it is usually the fault Of the town
in which it is published, Atlanta
Constitution.

Weather And Crops.

The past week has brought
showers, great heat and varying
crop reports, but, on the whole
the conditions have been bene'
fetal to staple crops. The harvest
season is now SO near at hand
that crop news has become the
matter of fact importance to busi-
ness men, as so much depends
upon the outcome of the staple
productions.
In the cotton belt there has
been ample moisture, coupled
with hot, forcing weather. just
the weather to cause the crop to
make rapid progress. There have
been some complaints of too much
rain, but that condition has not
been general by any means, and
the main result charged against
it is that it has increased the raw
ages of insect pests.
Despite the good weather that
has prevailed during August the
crop has not recovered from the
early backwardness, and is from
two to four weeks late all over the
belt.
Aside from that it is doing well
and promises good, but its back.
wardness promises good yield,
but it's backwardness increases
the risks that will have to be run
from early frosts, bad weather
during harvest and the other
risks Of that period upon which
the size of the crop SO largely de-
pends. A promising crop has
been spoiled by an unreasonable
fall on more than one occasion,
and is alison fact thata seeming
ly poor crop has been greatly aid,
ed by late frost and an open win

the country. The gallantry of the
Southern volunteers in the Span
isil war evoked as much pride in
Northern cities and on Northern
farms as did the courage and he
roism of the sons Of Federal sol.
diers. The use of words North,
ern and Southern which the pur.
pose of this article has made nee
essary does not find reflection in
the ordinary conversation and or
dinary thought of the people who
live north of Mason and Dixon's
line-a line which should no lOn-
ger divide sections.
Lest the South should over es~
innate the attempts made by some
misguided papers to prolong the
old feud, we would state that the
great body of people living in
his part of the country are Amer.
Jeans first. They are proud of the
whole country and are loyal to
whole country. They do not SYM
pathize with the attempts to en-
courage dissenticn and distrust
between regions of the United
States. They know that if Abra
ham Lincoln were alive today no
man would view with more pro-
found sadness than he the effort
to foster hatred between the North
and South.
