The vast industry maintained in Paris
to pawn of fake curios and antiquities
on unsuspecting Croesuses has hit upon
a new plan. Ticks" or wood fretters,
required to give psuedo-antique furni-
ture an air Of old age. are now "culti-
waited" in large droves on potatoes.
Formerly they we're hard TO obtain, but
now there are millions Of the vermin.
The fakirs let loose the wood fretters
on the imitation furniture before it Is

worked longer. the chair. sofa, or table
would fall into dust After six weeks
the worms are killed by discharge Of
X rays. Only then the piece Of furni-
ture is painted and upholstered and
ready for the antique parlor.

used in the decorations.
AS Miss Rebecca Mathis rendered

pie, unattended, entered the parlor
where the officiating minister and more
than hundred guests awaited their
coming. The ceremony was beautiful
and impressive throughout.
Sincere congratulations were show.
cred upon the newly welded couple.

FIVE DOLLARS A BALE HIGHER
Better Price for Cotton This Season
Than Last

Than Last
Americas buyers paid So per bale
more for cotton yesterday than they
paid on Sept. % tn last year, and this
in the face of the enormous receipts
here, as in every other market. Ten
cents was paid here for "middlings"
yesterday.
Osher smaller markets paid 81 to 81
cents for the same cotton
On September 28.h, last year,
Americus buyers paid 9 cents even,
for middIing cotton, as shown by the
Times r scorder's files, and receipts of
cotton were less than half the total
for this season.
Up to date Americus has received
5000 bales cotton direct at the ware
houses, as against probably 10000
bales at this date last season. A year
ago farmers sold their bales at 9 cents
and considered it very fair price.
This season there have been no sales
under 10 cents, while thousands oil
bales were sold at II cents and above
early in September. Just now heavy
receipts are depressing prices, though
Americus is still paying ten cents.
Picking continues here with rush
and the warehouses are busy handling
the feecy.
