Buy a Bale Of Cotton
Club Planned for TrOup

LAGRANGE, Ca, August 81. =
Notwithstanding the slump of
the cotton market, the Troup
county farmers are very we'll sat
isied. This year they raised
more foodstuff than was custo-
mary for this section Of Georgia,
and therefore, did rot place their
reliance wholly upon the cotton
market. However, already sew
eral bales have been ginned ard
so far have brought good prices.
Many of the prominent bust
ness men around Lagrange are
indorsing the idea of each citizen
who is not farmer buying a
bale of cotton and already many
have expressed their intention of
purchasing a few bales and hold
ing them so that they may render
the local farmers some assistance.
1t is thought now that a buy a
bale of cotton" club will be or
gained here in the next few
days.
