SEEN AS THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY.

July 1904, filled its cycle last
Sunday. Ere it went to take its
place beside other monuments of
past ages, vivid lightning flashed,
heavy thunder beloved and the
rain came down with terrible en-
phasis and smote the earth with
mad fury. 1t looked as if nature
was weeping to see this bright
month go, July is always well
4 med by farmer, patroit and all
loving people. 1t brings a
rare imaginative picture Of pic
MICS, hay-ride; and general out
ing days.
There is nothing more refresh
ing than day out by some cool
spring of water, whose smooth
mirror like surface never reflect
ed the face of anything except the
shy fawns that hide about in the
woods, Such day out was an
ticipated oy one of our legal lights
and a railroad magnet, last week.
He started out like knight errant
in search of pleasure and adven-
ture, with several ladies along
with lunch AMI coffee-pot, of
course. They headed towards
the north, thinking their day out
would shine brightest Of all in the
'flrmiment OF current events; and
sure enough it did. The day was
full of delightful realism. The
woods teemed with birds, bugs,
insect life and creeping things
generally. They laborously
wound their wearisome way up
the top Of a steep mountain
across which lay the track Of d
cyclone that could have sven
chaos points to a bowling wilder
ness. On they pushed through
tree tops and under brush to the
brink on the other side Of the
mountain; then halted in the
shade of some wide spreading
trees. The water was fine, yet
few Of the party saw the spring,
for it was like going down to
China after it. Two of the young
ladies were stung by wasps, and
the whole crowd was almost de-
voured by seed ticks and red
sx.gs; but4na oae.eonsplained. All
showed the pure gold OF charac-
ter and qualities that make men
heros and women heroines. Now
generous minded people are
bound to acknowledge this day
out grand victory.
The watermelon season is at
its height, and Evening Shade
people boast goodly crop.
Capt. Wann, after lingering so
near the cold Jordcn for many
weeks is surely recovering.
Circuit court will convene at
Evening Shade next week, and
all you fellows better be hiding
out with your meanness.
There is a boni fide Bruin in the
woods near Powell's Chapel, He
has grown so tame he feeds by
the roadside, and if you pass
along in the dark he will stand
srill and erect as a pctrification.

IRREGULAR DAY IN
 COTTON MARKET Final Prices Showed Very Slight
 Changes NEW ORLEANS WAS SELLER Interior Holders Were Unwilling to Sell at the Decline, Which Offered Encouragement to the
 Bulls.
NEW ORLEANS WAS SELLER

Naw York November 1S.-rhe cotton n,arlset opened with further improvement in noint of activity and ruled pretty steady with final prices showing slight cbanges from the closing quotations of tbe nrevious day The opening was eteadv at unchanged prices to decline of noints. Immediately following the call the decline was increased slightly, but while there was further talk of an easier snot situation, local spot men received adviees from Atlantic coast sections stat ting that the declines of yesterday were attracting a more active demand, and that interior holders were unwilling to sell at the lower level. This seemed to encourage the bulls to some extent and there was a very fair demand. By mid day prices had rallied to about the clos ing level of yesterday, but shortly after
 wards broke again on continued hedging selling by spot interests, while New Or leans also seemed to be selling. But at about the previous low point there was another rally, and the market was finally steady at decline of 1 point to an ad vance of 3 points.
 Sales were estimated of 3000OO bales The weekly into-sight figures proved heavier than expected, bat exports were again full and small receipts are expect ed for tomorrow. Receipts at the ports today 61, ,91S bales, against 66 i2O last week and 60,172 last year. For the week 000 bales. against 3S1 9o9 last week and AL . 9s7 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans 1S,050 bales, against 1S,55S last year. and at Houston 1889, against 15, 32i last year.
