NEW CASTLE TIMES.

send you fe~ happenings.
 ] suppose you have heard Of the real winter that visited our communi- V on last aturdaynight-the weather was so warm at x o'clock Saturday night that We could sleep without cover and at a. m. Sunday morning the thermometer had dropped to i5. That's some change for our country.
 Well. the farmers have about gathered their little 9c. cotton crop. Corn has all been cribbed. There are some mighty long-faced farmers in this community over the price of cotton. but there is nobody 10 blame but themselves The poor. ignorant farmers al one time. and just a few years ago, would cuss our local mer chants about the price of cotton, but We have learned better than that now. But We are still just as big cfanks as We were then. only worse. We know the cause now of low prices of cotton. but We still 20 ahead planting the world in cotton. and part of our garden, when we know that if We raise r. million bale crop that We will get nothing for it. say for one il doesn't matter for us at all If you or wanted to buy hundred bushels of corn and got it and did Hot need any more al that time. we would not give as much for another hundred bushels. as we did for the first hundred bushels. Now that is just the position the spinners occupy To day. but farmer, negro and mule are hard to convince If any thing that is 10 their interest There is a man in our community that has s5 bushels of peas saved and has acres to pick. and plenty left in the field 10 fatten k head of fine Berkshire hogs, that he las just turned in on them. Don't that beat any man s 2.horse cotton crop, and the expense not one.third of the cotton crop, besides the fine hay that comes of that same ground: Some farmers will say, we must just hold our cotton if we realize anything for it, when he knows that We just as well try to hold an eel by the tail when lots of our cotton is sold and taken up be l fore it's planted, especially if We have to buy Tor hard tails in the spring on credit
