Bethany Calls Mr.. Grier. =
Rev. ]. l. Oates, pastor of the As
sociate Reformed Presbyterian church
of Yorkville, preached to congrega-
tional meeting at Bethany last Satur-
day and moderated a call that was
unanimous for Rev. w. P. Grier. Be-
cause of the very rough and disagree
able weather, the congregation was
|resentative, and the general under
standing was its action reflected the
sentiment OF those who were unable
to come out. To make assurance

Mexican Big Boil.
Attention Is called to the advertise
ment of Mexican big boil cotton seed
In another column. The Enquirer does
not know much about the Mexican
big boil seed: but it knows ]. j. J.
Robinson pretty well, and when Mr..
Robinson says anything he believes it
Is 80. We believe II too. Mr.. Robinson
says he bought his Mexican big boil
seed about four years ago. They were
sold to him as absolutely pure. He
has raised three crops and has been
selecting the seed from each crop. The
seed are still better now than when he
got them. He has the seed Of twenty
three bales, consequently there are
some to plant and some to spare. Mr..
Robinson says the Mexican big boil is
a very prolific cotton, and 1t Is the
easiest to pick of any cotton he has
ever had any experience with. The
staple Is long and fine and the cotton
always makes a sample that brings
the top of the market.
