The Lexington Advertiser:
To NV Fellow Farmers IL urge you
to insist on our ginners, who furnish
bagging and ties to wrap cotton, to

ties amount to less than this the farm.

six per cent it simply matter of Civ.

is matter that all we farmers are
interested in, and suggest that you

remedy the defect has adopted the
plan of adding eight or ten poupds of
second hand bagging, which amounts
to about fl.0o bale, pocketing this

is provided that this shall be such pro-
portion Of the total Indebtedness as the
amount Of tangible property within this
state bears to the amount OF the tangible
property. wherever situated.
