About "HOliness Cranks."
Stewards Camp, May IL, '0S.

Editor CoJar Chronicle:
l see other folks are writing
about their little burgs and camps,
ETC., so l will give you a few items
from our log camp.
IN the first place let me observe
that we have the best situated,
most pleasant camp L have ever
seen. We have regular picnic
grove, and well water that can't be
surpassed in America. The work
in our camp is booming ahead now
AS if the panic was over, and We
learn the Iatt Lumber Co. expects
to pay up about the 18th of every
month from now on.
Our chief characters are what
you sometimes hear called "holi
ness cranks," but some of oui
young men sometimes use language
that don't sound like the prayers
of Gods saints.
The proprietor of this camp is
the well known citizen, A. w. Stew
art, who was the representative of
Grant parish in 1926. He is
now demonstrating the fact that
man can run logging job and live
christian. He was converted and
Joined the Methodist Protestant

every general conference of his
church since 1892, and is now in
Philadelphia, Pa, TO be- gone two
weeks as a delegate to that body.
Meanwhile proceedings will go Oh
in the camp without break under
the efficient management of his
foreman and general manager, G.
w. Blackburn, who has held this
position of responsibility and trust
for several years, and has proven
by his tireless energy and indus

confidence placed in him. Mr.. |
Blackburn is high minded chris !

Farmers Union Turns Loose 6:s(i
Bales Of Cotton.

Yesterday (April 2,D the members
OF the Farmers Union and other
farmers, who had cotton stored in
the Farmers Union warehouse in
this city, sold $50 bales of it ut an
average price of 1926 cents per
pound, we understand was about n
quarter of IA cent higher than cotton
was selling upon the streets of the
city.
This sale makes two big sales the
farmers have made lately, and each
time they received a higherpric than
cotton was selling for in the open
market. They have about four hun
dred more bales stored in their ware
