Higktower Sees Good Times.


President G. r. Hightower, of the Mis-
sissippi division of the Farmers Union,
finds much cause for encouragement to
the cotton-holding movement in the fact
that the State and national banks are
carrying unusually heavy deposits for
this season of the year.
According to the latest statement OF
the auditor, the State banks in Missis-
sippi are carrying $4,000, 600 in depos-
it's" says President Hightower, ''and the
national banks have deposits aggregating
between $s000,0O0 and $4,000, 900.
There is no reason why good por-
ton of these deposits should not be used
in support of the cotton-holding move
ment. The banks unquestionably have
plenty of money and ] believe they are
going to give the farmers of the State all
possible aid and encouragement in hold
ing their cotton when the farmers desire
to do SO"

There is so much discussion and specu-

as is customary at this time. According

County Schools the Best.

State Superintendent of Education
Powers has received very encouraging
letter from DIR. S. A. Knapp, special
agent of the bureau of plant industry OF
the national department of agriculture,
in which he states in very decided terms
the reasons why the country agricultural
high school system should prevail rather
than the congressional district high
schools, as have been suggested in some
quarters. One of the most essential
reasons is that the county school IS much
closer to the people, and less expensive
to the student, than would be the dis.
trict high school.

LONDON, March Is. - The famous
old Blanchard's restaurant, just off Re
gent street, which thirty years ago was
perhaps the best known and most popu-
lar chop house in London, has just been
reopened in a burst Of glory. For ten
years it has been closed. Recently a
company was formed to take the prop
erty over. The building was reconstruct
ed and all modern cOnveniences put in.
The restaurant will be conducted in
the old English style, with English cook
ing. A speciality will be made of hot
joints, which are wheeled around to the
customers tables and unlimited portions
served at reasonable prices.
An interesting feature of the establish
ment is the fact that Capt. Byron, a
grandson of Lord Byron, is president of
the company and head of the concern.

Troublesome Small Animals.

Farmers who live near the Blue noun
tains, in Lehigh county, are greatly
bothered with foxes, minks and weasels,
and the farmers who live along the low
lands have their land spoiled by the
muskrats and the skunks. A crusade has
been declared against these animals and
the farmers expect to exterminate them
by trapping and shooting.
More than 1000 pelts have been
shipped from New Tripoi during the
last week. Among the most successful
trappers were the following: R. Stump
and c. Frey, who had forty skunks,
thirty-six oppossums and thirty-four
musllrats: ". Oswald, six minks; j.
Wolf, seven red foxes. There are a
