 The farmers are bringing their cotton to town and selling it very rapidly now. Considerable cotton was sold on the streets of Culman last week, but noth- ing to compare with what has been brought in this week. The farmers are getting fair prices for it and no doubt Cullman county will produce an average crop, and it is estimated the farmers will get as much for their cotton this season as they did last, notwithstanding Cuilman county produced over No0O bale crop last year, the difference in price this season from that of last will make up the difference in money. It is believed that Cullman will make near 20.- 000 bales this season.
