More to r ollow.

Despite the fact that cotton prices
ruled low yesterday Mr.. j. M. Jonn-
son drove into Americus with forty big
bales, representing only portion OF
his surplus crop. Mr.. johnson ala
not market this cotton with the view OF
selling it now, as he will part with 1t
only when he pleases. Even at yes
teiday's price this lot would have metz
ted him near So, 700, but it will be
worth much more monitor even q
few days hence, and Mr.. Johnson will
sell then. Recently he has brought
eighty bales to market. and still hes
another large lot of the fsecy OF his
home. Not few farmers here. like
Mr.. johnson, are getting the benefit
ofrecent high prices for cotton, as they
were in position to hold it for the adj
vance they knew must come. Mr..
j ohnson's wagona procession made
quite display yesterday as 1t
rolled through the streets to the
Ohambliss Warehouse. Such wagon
trains means money to the planters
and when they have it all other lines
of business prosper. Americus will
see many such wagon trains few
months hence when the new crop
moves this way.
