LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Sept. 8.-Rain
Is much needed in this section for all
late crops. The war talk and low
price of cotton is the talk these days
as politics is about over. 1t seems
the greatest rally is past and today
will settle it for the next two years.
The cotton question is the greatest
of any of these with us for we don't
think that we people of the United
States will have to go to war as long
as Wilson is president. We hope
there will turn up a way for the farm
ers to get good price for his cotton.
l will suggest that every farmer keep
his cotton in his own warehouse, by
that l mean in his own cotton house
as long as he can. There is no one
but who could keep his cotton till the
first of November. 1 do believe if
everyone would get higher price
keep the cotton off the market for a
while anyway. We are getting moth
ing anyway when we take z 1-2c. It
does not look like it would go ary
lower if we wait and let us risk IT,.
Now keep it at home is what am go
ing to do for few months anyway
and risk chances.
