The Oldest Drummer.

Col. N. w. Flasig, of Tipton, Missou- ri, was registered at the Marion Mon- day. Nothing startling about that, is there?
 Col. Flasig was real colonel of the 65th Ohio regiment of the civil war. Well, there are lots of them still draw ing pensions.
 His brother was real colonel in the Confederate service. Many brothers were separated by that unfortunate difference of opinion.
 Col. N w. Flasig defeated and cap- tured his own brother at the battle of Franklin, Odd, wasn'tit?
 Yes, but there is another most inter- esting part of Col. Flasig's history yet to come. He is the American repre- sentative of Wm. Crowley & Sons, manufacturers of needles, in Redditch, England. He has been with this firm, save the time mentioned above, for fifty years, and is the oldest travelling salesman in ths country, or propably any other country for that Inatter, his age being 72 years, and is the father of fifteen children
 He has been in every country on earth, except Cuba, has travelled 1,6O0,- 900 miles, circumnavigating the globe SIX times, and having crossed the ocean more than 100 times He is very in terestng character, and entertains de lightfully wherever he goes.
 Taking of needles, Germany's out put alone is more than 200 000, ,OO0, while England's product reaches the fabulous number of $50, 900 GOO per an. mum

Dan Sully Writes to the People of
 the South.

II you wish to win your battle. and oh tam fair price foryo cotton you must reduce your acreage very considerably.
 You have surprised the world by the manner in which you have held your cot ton. Surprise 1t again by cutting down your acreage. Do not be led astray by the present steadiness of prices.
 Three causes have contributed to bring about the rise of more than one cent pound.
 First-The urgent demand arising from an unprecedented consumption.
 Second-Your courage and wisdom in making the buyer meet your terms.
 Third-The belief that you will cut your acreage to such an extent that the surplus from this crop and the growth oi l905 would make commercial crop no larger than the world needs
 The first two causes loose their force the moment it is known that there is a prospect for moderately large crop next year.
 Even if the mills take I2, ,000 900 bales during the current season this would leave carry-over of 300 900 bales. Hence the necessity of a smaller crop this year. Do not let any rise in prices between now and the end of the planting season deter you from reducing your acreage
 Such an advance would merely antici- Vr otyit which your friends have advised you to make
 If the June reports of the Government shows that you have failed to make suffi- cIent reduction the only persons who would be the gamers by the advance would be the spectators who sell their futures at profit.
 The price of the cotton you produce will be regulated by the actual, not the expected, reduction.
 Don't depend on your neghbor to do the reducing.
 In this matter Of acreage reduction. bear in mind three suggestions. Don't rely on bad weather to cut down the size of the crop Don't put a large acreage into cotton simply because 1t is too late to plant corn or other diversified crops It would be far better to let part of your land lie idle than to run the risk of rais- ing crop so large as to make possible another period of low-priced cotton.
 am making this appeal to you because l regard the next few weeks as critical to the South and because l believe that every man who is interested in the wei. fare of the South should urge the impor- tance of a reduced acreage

"If the sun shines clear and bright
on Christmas day it promises peace

but if the wind blows stormy towards

the spring and autumn quarters"
