crack and corner of the wagon body.

was soon humming its old-time tune,
and by 2:45 o'clock the bale was
weighed at Holland & Hills ware
house, and it tipped the scales at
546 pounds. Mr. E. c. Berry was
the buyer who felt most inclined to
take the prize, so it was delivered
to him at 20 cents. The cotton seed
