OUIETUS ON THE FRUIT
CROP.

The advent of cold wave after
the most remarkable period of mild
weather Mississippi has experience
ed during a mild winter season has
put quietus on prospects for all

A drop of nearly thirty degrees
in temperature has been recorded
since Saturday, and i'll the north
'ern section of the state the ther-
mometer has closely approached
the freezing point.
The arrival of the cold wsve
checks the early development o1
vegetatiofi, but it has not caused
much damage except to the straw
berry crop, plants having been in
full bloom for week or more, and
in the southern part of the state
berries were being marketed IN
small quantities. Horticulturists
believe, however, that the berry
plants will again put forth blooms
about six weeks hence, but they dc
not anticipate the usual good yield
The same is probably true of early
varieties of peaches and peas. which
have been putting forth blooms for
several days.-Jackson News.

Word reaches us that Capt. L.
F. Brown, conductor for the past
several wears on the Peavine passen-
ger, has been suspended by anoth-
er man and will be transferred to
another division of the Valley road.
His friends here and all down the
line will receive this news with
profound regret. Capt. Brown
has the fullest esteem OF all the
people living along the road, and
we question if another can be found
who. in tie estimation of the pa
irons of the road, can take his
place. He is geniality and accom-
modating personified and his heart
is near the right place as any man
we ever knew. Since the run has
been heightened to Clarksdale, he
no doubt feels the additional work
and is willing for this reason to con-
sent to a change. But he will be
one of the most missed men that
ever was in Cleveland.-Cleveland

cotton figures a good sign for the

THE COTTON CROP.

Grouping together the last three
wears the ginners' reports of the
census bureau showed 92.35 per
cent of the entire crop ginned by
January 16. The report published
a few days ago showed IL, 167 ,S73
bales of this years crop ginned up
to that date. If this represents
o2.35 per cent of the entire crop,
the total will be 13,175,823 bales.
To attain this 1907, $50 bales
including linters, must be glnned
after January Is. The number
bales ginned after that date was
1.347 ,S77 last year; 79S.2 year
before last, and 525,892 three years
ago. Within the two weeks ending
with January 16, 416,879 bales
ginned, as compared with 272, 985
last year.
Secretary Hester report SHOWS
that 9.545,755 bales of this years
cotton have been brought in sight.
In this we can make comparison
of FIVE years. Taking the average
of the last FIVE years we find that
1908 per cent. of the crop has been
brought in sight by January 25'
If the number of bales brought in
sight represents 1908 per cent OF
the crop, the total will be 1860,
951 bales.

ures are more reliable is question

THE REPORTERS CAUTION.
My boy" said the editor of
the Billsville Bugle to the new re-
porter, you lack caution. You
must learn not to state things as
facts until they proved facts-other-
wise you are very apt to get us into
all sorts of trouble and apologies.

the funds; but say the cashier who
is alleged to have stolen the funds.

social last night"
Owing to the influx of visitors
| it was late in the afternoon before
the general editor of the Bugle
caught a glimpse of the great
family daily. Half way down the
second column his eyes lit on the
following paragraph; 1t is ru-
mored that card party was given
last evening to a number of reput-
ed ladies of the second ward. Mrs.
Smith gossip says, was the hostess.
and the festivities are reported to
have continued until 1890 IN the
evening. 1t is alleged that the at
fair was a social function given to
the ladies of the Second Ward Gin
CHI Club, and that while the ex-
ception of Mrs. James Bilgllliger,
who says she comes from Ieavitt' S
Junction, none but members were
present. The reputed hostess in
sists that coffee and waters were
served as refreshments.
