Saturday, helping to deliver the IL
bales of cotton which Mr.. j. T. Flan-
nagan sold to Mr.. Jas. A. Hyde last
week ut IL. cents per pound. They
informed M that the cotton was
rnissd In 1904. 1905 and 1906. When
ever our farmers are able to do Ike
the Flannagans, and save their cot
ton over from year to year. they can
always command a good price. Mr..
f. makes 1t ruie to carry over a
few bales every year the price IL too
low to suit him. He plants a good
grade ot cotton. and always sees
that 1t IL picked, ginned and housed
with the very best care.
The hills Of Grant parish are said
to he fine for the production Of long
staple cotton, and we hope to see
some of our farmers test the matter.
