Messrs. Editors: Quite a number
of enquiries asking what to do about
cotton, prompts me to answer
cthrough The Southern Farm Ga
zcttc.
Alight ask what must I do about
my cotton? l have my 1907 crop
packed away In q shed on the farm,
have not sold a pound and will not
sell until late In August, unless the
15-cent mark Is reached.
Will Prices be Better In August?
In 1905. cotton from near O four
teen million bale crop sold at s
cents In May. while In July and
August the price was above IL
cents.
In 1905. May cotton sold for Q
cents. July and August the price vas
above IL cents.
In May. 1907. following a 49,
100000 bale crop. the price was
about IL cents. July IL cents and
August II to Is cents.
We are now selling from q small
crop. W. note that Manchester and
other foreign spinning centcrs have
been willing buyers for every grade
OF cotton offered since September
LIST. and we note that these spinncrs
have readily paid lust what tho
cotton grower was willing to take
for his cotton:' nor has there been
any let up In buying BY any Of tho
foreign manufacturers.

cured near enough cotton 10 keep

DOGS of Luxury.

The appearance CT little dogs as OBJ
jects of luxury goes back to the most
ancient times Documents are not
wanting that go to show that Greek
and Roman women had little dogs
which We're idolized by their mistress
es. Even men, particularly among for
eigners. were not ashamed to walk the
streets Of Rome with pet dogs under
their arms. Speaking Of this subject,
Plutarch relates that julius Caesar,
seeing one day in Rome some strangers
thus loaded with their dogs, asked
them ironically whether the women Of
their country did not bear children.
Tertia, the daughter Of Lucius Azure
Illus PauluS. was SO fond Of her dog
that In the moment Of bidding farewell
to her father. who WAS about to leave
his country and his family to wage
war against Perseus. king of MacedO-
mia. she frankly admitted that the sad
ness imprinted on her face was due to
the death Of her pet dog Persia. In
Europe the greyhounds were the first
favorites of women during the middle
ages-Boston Post.
