Cotton

is first mentioned as being grown in
India about 1000 b. c.
In 502 the emperor of China wore a
robe of cotton cloth in ascending the
throne. This was considered very rare
and precious.
Cotton was doubtless grown in Egypt
at a very remote period.
An excellent cotton has long been OBJ
tanned from Brazil.
About 1900 there was an experimental
crop of cotton raised in Virginia
I'm 1886 Georgia and South Carolina
began to grow the famous Sea Island
cotton.
5000 bales, and the price 26c a pound.
In 1860 the U. s. production was A.
66S,9O0 bales, and the price lie pound.
In 1866 an account of the Civil War
this production was reduced to only 25O,-
600 bales and the price rose to soc Id.
In 1900 the production was 9436,40O
bales and the price was 7-10c lb.
I'm 1909 the production is estimated
at only 10, $685. 900 bales
LESS than the demand and 1903 sees
California make her first start as a
cotton growing state
The Imperial valley is an ideal spot
for raising cotton, the climate and soil
are perfect, and the Joseph Il. Lotus
Co. expect that next year $4,000 acres
or more Will be planted-and California
will become a mighty factor in turning
the cotton shortage into a sufficlency.

Burns UIndhuno.

The celebr, tion of marriage vows on
Wednesday afternoon between Mr.. Lee
Scruggs Burns of Grenada and Miss
Bessie Lee Windham, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. j. NJ. Windham of Elliott, was
the elimination of days of love making
and events seemingly directed by the
fates. The bride and groom were both
born in Grenada and have known each
other from early childhood. Mr.. Burns
is son of Mr. and Mrs. w. T. Burns
and holds an important place with the
Grenada Grocery Co. wholesale grocers.
He is young man of we'll poised char
acter and has led an exemplary life.
Mrs. Burns is modest. cultured and re-
fined and in her character there is a
beautiful grouping of all those graces
expected in the choicest womanhood.
The ceremony uniting this happy
couple was said by Rev 7. B. William
son and J. W. Lee Besides the irlme-
diate family there were many friends
present to testify their interest in TIE
event most important in the lives
of these young people. They were re-
cipients of many costly and useful pres
ents They left on the fast train going
north and will spend their honeymoon
at several different places. The Senti-
mel wishes for them life's richest re-
wards.

The term of Circuit Court in this
county was brought to an unexpected
termination last Saturday evening
Two special venires that had been sum-
moned, one to try John Markette,
charged with killing Henry Hill at
Water Valley and the other to try
John Hammond, a negro, were dis
charged owing to the fact that both
cases were continued on the applica-
ton of the State. The sickness of an
important witness i'll each case prompt
ed the state to ask that the cases be
passed.
The trial of E: r. Thomas on the
charge Of numbering Gilbert Winter
was begun on Friday. The case was
given the jury Saturday at noon. Ow-
ing to the fact that the jury had not
reported when adjournment was taken
Saturday afternoon, Judge Mclean
went to his home at Winona and re-
turned Monday at noon to hear a report
from the jury. The jury reported that
an agreement was impossible, which
caused the court to discharge them. It
was learned that the jury stood II to l
in favor Of an scquittal The writer
