Now Picking Cotton Here.

Lightfoot, Va. Sept. "a, 1911
Editor The Gazette:
Referring to your paper OF l4th
promised to write short letter
about cur little crop o. cotton. pro-
vided / found il practical to do so.
So l have found that the little patch
of cotton at War Hill farm. James
City county. has brought about very
much enthusiasm throughout the
surrounding counties. The farmers
and merchants. doctors and preach
ers are coming to see the little crop
grow that is one of the most reliable
crops grown and should have been |
grown here all the time. Ifeel like, !
from what observation I have had.
that If there had been cotton raised
mere for the last 40 years and cotton
gins here to gin the cotton. it would
nave brought good farmers of the
south here years ago and that then
there would have been more knitting
and hosiry mills and cotton mills in
Virginia today than there are.
am not surprised to see the knit
ting mill start up in Williamsburg
out I was surprised to see it stand

Bridges Damaged.

The recent flood that did so much
damage up and down the Willamette
Valley, touched Polk County lightly,
and but little property was injured.
Several of the minor county bridges
suffered in various degrees from its
effect The Auer bridge, an S0-foot
span structure that crossed the Yam
hill River near Butler, was washed out
and will have to be rebuilt entirely.
This would have been necessary in
short time anyway, as it was built
something like 40 years ago, and had
about outlived its usefulness. Another
bridge to go out was one over Soap
Creek, in the southeast part of the
county, just south of the Davidson
place. The Taylor and Lewisville
bridges over the Luckiamute were
partially injured, as was the 3O-foot
bridge below the Jap Ellis place. The
County Court will take steps immedi-
ately to have the bridges replaced or
repaired, as the case may require.
