The cotton crop is not turning
out we'll in Carroll county. The
shortage is greater than it was
thought it would be, and many
farmers are a little blue over the
situation. The high price will be
some help, and the amount of
money received for the crop this
year will be in the neighborhood
Of that received last year. The
price now is very fine, but the
bulk Of the crop is sold.
The Democrat was mistaken last
week in the announcement of the
marriage Of Mr.. Haywood McCol-
lum and Miss Verna Letsinger.

neighborhood, but there was moth
ing to it. The Democrat heard
the report and made the publica-
ton in good faith, not knowing
but what it was true, and without
any intention upon it's part Of
placing the young people in an
awkward plight.
