Cotton Acreage of This Season.

The officers of the Mississippi
Cotton Association are busily en-
gagged at the present time in send
ing to- hundreds Of farmers through
out the State blanks upon which to
make their estimate of the probable
acreage Of this season, as compared
with that of 1904 and 1905. The
blanks will be returned not to the
State headquarters, but to President
Harvie Jordan at Atlanta, for the
general report covering the entire
South.
The Mississippi division secures
its estimate of the crop about the
middle of May, when blanks some
what similar to these are sent out
to long list of members of that
organization.
AS an evidence of the exactness
with which the Cotton Association
reports are made out that of the
past year cotton up by the Missis-
sippi Division was within about
8, 900 bales of what the actual crop
in the State amounted to, as based
upon the latest and best reports

Resolutions Commemorative OF
Sovereign B. F. English.

SOVEREIGN COMMANDER:
Your committee appointed to
draft and present to this Camp
resolutions to commemorate the
virtues of our deceased brother,
Sow Ben. F. English, have the
honor to submit the following:
Whereas, in the mysterious or
derings of Gods providences we
have been deprived of one of our
beloved members whose death fills
our hearts with sorrow, and where
as we desire to express our appre-
citation of the ability and our love
and veneration for the personal
worth of the deceased sovereign be it !,
Resolved; That in the death of
Sow Ben F. English this Camp has
been deprived of one of its best
members whose honesty and sound
judgement and tireless devotion to
those around him has made him
useful to his country and beloved
by all who knew him.
Resolved; That the members of
Post Oak Camp No. 4O5 in the
death of this beloved member have
lost one whose intercourse was in
structive and kindly; whose gener-
Gus impulses found expression in
benevolent acts, and whose days
were devoted to the services of his
family his country and his God.
Resolved; That the sympathy
and coincidence of this Camp be
extended to the sorrowing family
whose affiiction is so much greater
than ours, and whose grief can only
be alleviated by Him whose sus-
tanning arm can best support them
in this their hour of irreparable
loss
Resolved; That copy of these
resolutions be spread on the min
utes of this Camp, and additional
copies be drawn by the Clerk, one
to be sent to one of the county pa
pers, and one to be sent to the fam
lily of our deceased sovereign, that
they may know that their grief is
also ours.

squarely, which, of course they de-
clined to do, and lodged the ques-
