teachers in Rankin county are grumb-

the county. A few months ago money
seemed to be plentiful in the treasury
but now our teachers have to wait fer
their pay. We notice that all court
expenses, of the county are generally
paid except teachers salary, and
teachers have to wait, if there is not
enough money in the treasury for all
why not divide up? Teachers have
their expenses to meet and need their
money.

price of goods; cotton seed is now
about nine or ten dollars ton and
the factory will sell them back to the
farmers for about $1S ton, every

how we stand spiritually as we'll as

cotton and we will have more time to
raise hog ana hominy, attend church
