Capitalizing His Pains.

Yes, it rained, And there is at
least n glad heart in the city be-
cause Of that outporing, however
meager and short it may have seemed
to those with a pessimistic soul.
This is why one man is happy:
For many years Jones, for that is
this happy mans name, has been
able nearly always, because of an
attack of rheumatism, to forecast the
weather accurately by means of the
peculiar and not altogether pleasant
sensation of pain which attacks all,
or nearly all, of the bones in his
body about the time a change in the
weather is about to occur. For the
last several days these terrible"
pains have coursed through Mr..
Jones body and hence he discerned
what he thought was the meaning.
We would not lead you to believe
that our happy man is a betting
man, and that he regularly capital
ICES the ailments of his body in such
a ann as he did on this occasion,
yet this once he felt so sure Of the
infallibility of those bones of his as
weather prophets, that he risked a
bet of ten round hard dollars that a
rain would descend upon us before
the end of this week. Hence this is
why the Mr.. Jones in question is so
joyful.
This is the way he explains how
the clouds yesterday rained dollars
for him:
81 knew that the sprinkling can
up there in the sky was going to set
to work one of these days because of
my pains, and | was just taking a
gamblers chance that we were going
to be standing under n Of those
little streams of moisture very soon"

1OO0-Quality is Fair.

According to the weekly report of
the Planters gin, one hundred bales

week a total of 775 bales for the en-
tire season. AS the cotton season is
