PRUNE CROP
IS A BIG ONE
GROWERS WILL NET THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS ON YIELD
THIS SEASON.

Primes are On the market in small
quantities this week but are not
quoted by wholesalers as the price
cannot vet be determined. The coming
week will witness liberal receipts in
these goods, Italians, silver and other
varieties being reported to be rlpeh-
ing in good shape. The crop is good
and the prices VIII rule low through
ont the season, is the prediction or
wholesalers.
Receipts of plums are irregular and
the supply will soon be exhausted.
Bradshaws, Yellow Egg and Colurl-
bias are the varieties quoted. They are
selling at rs cents wholesale.
Peaches are arriving in irregular
quantities but the supply promises to
be good the coming week. Seventy
five to 80 cents per box are the quo
tations made on these goods. Eearly
Crawfords is the variety quoted
CaLteloupes are in good supply,
Rocky Fords going at 81 per crate and
the larger varieties at IS cents. The
crop is good in all melon lines this
pected. Water melons are getting
cheap and the price varies with the
size of the melon.
Tomatoes are plentiful and cheap
and so cents box is all they bring at
wholesale prices. Small yellow pre-
serving tomatoes are on the market
in limited quantities at $1.25 per six
inch box. The quality is good but few
have been raised this year, indicating
that the price will not decline to any
extent.
Pears are in fair supply, Bartletts
and other varieties being strong on
the market. According to grade they
are selling at from $1.15 to $1.40 per
box. Pears are one of the good crops
this year and prices may be expected
to be reasonable as a result.
Onions, dry, are quoted at 50 per
cwt. Potatoes are selling at $1.10 per
cwt., Grated, Beets are worth $3.50
per sack, while carrots are 25 cents
cheaper for the same quantity. Rnu-
barb is selling at Is cents per half
crate
Apples, both eating and cooking, are
heavy on the market and are bring
ing, according to grade, rs cents to
$1.00 per box. Crabapples are waver-
ing at IS cents and a further drop is
expected.
Eggs are scarce and by the crate
are selling at $780, fancy creamery
butter is retailing at "a cents per
pound. Cheese is quoted at 16 IL
cents.
Nothing new may be expected on the
market next week. The features will
be rather the strengthening of the
crops beginning this week rather than
any new additions. Peaches and prunes
will be strong on the market this COM
ing week.

Woman's Wit Found the Way.

be sufficiently disguised to prevent
the wearer from being labeled a last
years edition. But woman found a
way. After puzzling over the matter
for while the hat that was bought
last year with the promise that it
would do two winters, was brought
down from the top shelf and made
into stunning and strictly up-to-date
hat by simply cutting the crown COM

lily by some disgraceful action and
comes to us as a stranger and asks
that we have more consideration for
his family than he had. Think how
inconsistent with good sense or good
taste that is. We have no desire to
hurt anyone. Neither has surgeon
nor dentist, but pain follows in many
instances from the regular discharge
of duty. Learn to look at other such
things from other standpoints than
self-interest and it will save your time
and ours from explaining. 1t really
doesn't do any good to come anyway.
News is news.
Times-promoter., 1907-11-01

The Ripley Sentinel has put into
words thought that has often come
to us about people who move from
here to Texas or some other western
state. They get settled out there and
begin writing home about what fine
country it is and occasionally come
back on a visit and survey the famil-
lar scenes of childhood with conde-
scending stare and blatantly ask their
old neighbors how they keep from
starving. Then they lanch forth in
description of the country where they
have settled and tell how easy it is to
make money therein short, that the
land is Glowing with milk and
honey" Nearly all these people take
their old home paper and when
great many of them receive bill for
subscription either are too poor or
too dishonest to settle promptly-We
presume the former.
Times-promoter., 1907-11-01

The business of newspaper is to
publish the news, says the Athens,
o., Messenger. Not gossip, private
quarrels. family feuds, but straight
forward news. Everything of public
record should be considered legitimate
news When we take your money for
subscription we enter into contract
to furnish you news for your money.
And yet every day or SO some one
comes into the Office and first re-
quests, then threatens, then demands
that we eliminate such and such legit-
innate news. Asks us to break our
contract with our subscribers and
throw ourselves liable to answering
the charge of obtaining money under
false pretense. These requests come
more frequently from the police court.

The Cotton School

Has been a little less than marvellous
in training young and old in the art
of buving and selling cotton, many
after leaving school, have made their
entire expenses on handling one half
dozen bales. Men of twenty years
experience in buying and selling have
attended this school, and received
more valuable in the six weeks with
us, than by actual experience in TWEEN
ty years.
Read what the following gentlemen
have to say: 81 would not take
St 900 for the information received
while in the cotton school. "A. P.
Roberts, Lexington, Tenn, employed
by the Farmers Union. "$5, 900 would
not buy my information gained at
the cotton school. &c. A. Duke,
Chesterfield, Tenn, in business for
self 81 would not attempt to place
an estimate on the value received at
the Cotton School. I'D. L. Harrison,
employed by large cotton firm,
Memphis. II would not sell my in
formation gained at the cotton school
for thousands of dollars. IN. A..
Brown, employed by the Farmers
Union at the Central office, Memphis.
"If had known FIVE years ago as
much about cotton as | learned in
two months in the cotton department
of the Memphis Business College, II
would have been worth $10, 900 to me"
r. P. Hazlewood, Whiteville, Tenn,
buyer for the largest cotton factors
in Memphis.
None Of the above gentlemen were
in school longer than two months.

any time, no experience necessary.
