PLATE GLASS WINDOW
 FOR CURRY BUILDING
A Run of sreakags the Last Four
 Months Cost Some Money.

I--The plate-glass window for the Curry building arrived here yesterday and was placed in position yesterday afternoon. This is the window that
 was broken a short time ago by a
 runaway horse putting one of it's hind feet through it. Mir Curry has
 had a streak of bad luck recently
 with the windows of his different buildings, and within four months four have been broken. The last break occurred this week, when some boy put small hole in one of the
 windows of the Hodnett store This
 break, however, is not serious and will not require the replacing of the window. Mir. Curry is seriously con-
 sidering the purchase of windows in
 wholesale quantities if this present
 rate of breakage continues.

COTTON NEEDS RAIN MEXICO HAS SHAKES
IRREGULAR STANDS TEND TO

Local Showers Beneficial Only in
Limited Area-Boll Weevil
on the Increase.

Memphis, Tenn.-Cultivation of the
cotton crop has now been about con-
pleted and its fate depends entirely upon
the weather. which at present Is dry.
Telegraphie reports show that moderate
local rains fell on Friday and Saturday
In Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Alabama They were highly beneficial.
but were not sufficient to relieve the
drouth, as many sections got no rain
at all.
The only section Of the cotton belt no,
in need Of rain lies east Of AIahama.
Elsewhere the need with local exceptions
Is becoming insistent. The plant has
reached the fruiting stage, and being
mail and late needs moisture to pro
mote both growth and fruiting.
The cotton in central and northern
TeSas and southern Oklahoma il fast
losing ground because Of dronth. In
Louisiana the weather is favorable. but
weevils are on the increase
Owing to the irregular distribution Of
rainfall for the past month crops are
spotted. There is much cotton in all
parts of the South not more than foot
high on this the second day of August.
This fact and irregular stands which are
heritage of the grassy condition of
early summer, makes the average low.
although there are districts with good
cotton.
The plant is stocky. healthy and in a
clean state OF cultivation. General rains
would greatly improve the outlook.
