Some Cotton Boil.

A. Poirrier. who is farming in
partnership with DR.. Cousins,
brought us a cotton boil Wednesday.
Well, of course, Frenchy wants a
write-up, but we can't give it to
him until we 60 and see what he has.
This boil, however, was less than
nine inches in diameter, less than five
inches from bow to stern and weigh
ed less than three pounds. We are a
little mixed on what Frenchy said
about his crop-whether he had 80
Of these bolls to the stalk, or so
stalks was required to hold UP this
boil. or that so Of these bolls would
make a bale-we can't say. Anyway
we give him this much for fifty cents
worth Of cantaloupes to be delivered
later.-Pharr Clarion.
