1t Is stated that the prospect for
cotton crop throughout the South
is very poor, and the price of the
staple is slowly going up, although it
is still below the highest point OF the
season. If the farmers of the South
had not sold for future delivery, cot
ton would have brought a fine price
this fall. The chances are that a
good price will be realized anyway,
as the total crop is bound to be short.
We have received the following ad-
ditional amounts from Capt. Risher
on the monument fund: Geo. }.
HERS, SO cents, S. G. Ray, Sl.OO.

500 mark in this matter, and 1t
seems that no more money can be
gotten. The lists will close August
1st, so if you want to contribute to
the fund, better do so quickly. Hand
to Capt. Risher or leave at The Herald
Office.
