Happenings in and Around
Modoc.

Here we are again and since we
last wrote there has been consid-
cradle change in the weather.
Most of the farmers are about
through harvesting and we don't
think if the price of cotton should
rise they would be so discouraged
with farming as most of the crops
turned out so much better than ex-
pected this season?
The bank which has just been
gotten up here of late will open up
in the old store which was last-run
by B. NJ. Bussey, property now of
c. H. Seigler. 1t has been remodled
ana painted, which makes it very
neat and comfortable looking. We
learn that Mr.. A. Y. Bussey will
be the president Of the bank. Ac-
cording to the faithfulness of Mr.
Bussey in his position, that he has
just given up, we feel that they
could not succeed in getting a
better president?
Mr.. A. V. Bussey is having his
house painted and we learn that
the church will soon be newly
painted. We hope some one else
will do likewise. The appearance
of our little town is certainly i'm
proving.

More will be said concerning the
change later.

The upward tendency of the lard
market will doubtless cause cotton seed
oil to advance proportionately, which,
in turn, should cause farmers to realize
more for their cotton seed. Consider
ing the large yield, if cotton growers
were paid as high price this year fol
seed as they were last, it would not
matter much about the price of lint,

Ty Cobb seems to be as great success
on the stage as on the diamond. The
theatrical company with which he is
now connected was peculiarly fortunate
in securing him before coming on its
southern tour. This young Georgia

among the lovers of outdoor sport,
and now that he is practically the
worlds champion as base ball player
his popularity has beenlgreatly in
creased.

The growing of tea in South Carolina

"There is limit at which forbear-
ance ceases to be virtue and, in
the matter of tipping, the travelling
men say the limit has been reached. 1t
is estimated, that the custom of tipping
hotel walters, bell boys and porters has
levied an annual tax upon drummers
which aggregates something like $l5,-
OOO, 600. Being driven to self-protec-
ton, drummers in many sections will
refuse to patronize hotels that allow
their employees to accept tips.
