We hope our subscribers will re-
member US when they sell their cot
ton. We have been carrying you
during the dull months and the peo-
pie from whom we have been receiv-
ing our supplies have been lenient
with US with the understanding that
we would pay as soon as cotton COM
menced to be marketed, and they
are now wanting their money. We
cannot meet our obligations if our
friends do not come to our rescue.
While your account may be small
every little bit will help.
