Notice to Cotton Growers
G. c. PALMER.
Dunn, Texas

J Since foreign hostlities promise
to continue, II has become necessary
for the cotton grower to protect his
interests by obtaining, II possible, a
fair price for his cotton II Is an eyi-
dent fact that. as long as the Euro
pean war continues, and while COM
merce remains tied up, we are to re-
ceive bottom prices for our exports.
But on the other hand II seems clear
ly practical that cotton prices will be
at the other extreme when the war
closes, or when foreign commerce is
restored. Then the question arises:
Row are we to stem the tide? How
can the farmer hold his cotton and
meet his obliehtions? I must admit
that these questions are difficult to
answlr. Nevertheless they are being
solved by the eastern counties of this
state. az a result OF the warehouse
proposition, and these counties are
urgently seeking the cooperation Of
other counties and cotton growing
states.
Now, to the point. II has been sug-
gested that the citizens OF each pre-
cinct in this county assemble in mass
meeting al an early date TO discuss
ways OF which we ca neffect better
prices for cotton. and to elect dele
} gates to send to Snyder for the pur-
pose OF devisine plans for the cree
tlon and maintenance Of a ware
house at that place.
It has been further suggested by
marnlmeetIns assembled at this
place, Dunn, Texasl that each bale
Of cotton be taxed s10O to create
funds for the erection OF this ware
Muse. This proposition should inter
! ~ everyone who is seeking a bet
TER market for his cotton. And II Il
h Ia TO succeed It needs the immediate
and hearty cooperation Of every far
mer. and II It fails no harm Will re-
suit from our efforts. II We succeed
in building this ware house, we will
at least be in position to demand an
advance Of funds on our warehouse
receipts, and am sure that the lo-
cal banks as well as other corpora
tions will gladly lend helping
hand The cry is let the farmers
merchants, etc get busy and attack
this problem IN a business like man
ner.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The November grand jury made
partial report to the court at it's ses-

next Friday. The report stated that
seventeen true bills had been found
against various offenders.
A large number of school boys
were brought before the grand jury
and quizzed as to the unlawful sale of
cigarettes. 1t is thought that no. in
dictments were returned.
One Indictment was returned
against Ike Chiles, colored, of North

ging" whisky and beer. 1t is said that
other violations of the liquor laws
be investigated when the grand jury
re-convenes.

This case, which has been through

for $4,000 damages for alleged SIAN
derOus remraks and instruments of
writing made by McClintock regard
| ing Mcclure. The case see-Sawed
through the courts, and was finally
thought to have been laid to rest at

verdict in favor or Mr.. Mcclure
against Mr.. McClintock for $4,000
as damages for mental suffering, in

Different phases of the case have been

NIMROOS, GUNS AND
DOGS IN THE FIELDS.

The game laws regulating the
hunting of rabbits and quail expired
Sunday, but because of the weather
conditions and the fact that the Ken
-ucky Statutes impose a fine of not
less than S. nor more than $50 for
hunting on the Sabbath, not many
hunters took to the fields. 1t is, of
course probable that some hardy spir-
It's who recognize 10 law but their
own desires, violated the game laws,
last Sunday.
IN compliance with the State laws
2 large number of Bourbon county
sportsmen have taken out hunting
license, County Clerk Pearce Patton
-e9Orting a total of 2S7 issued since
last January, when the 1913 license
exuired, of which 30 were issued
during the first fourteen days of No
vember. 1t is expected that this
number will be largely increased as
me hunting season grows older, and
gets fairly under way.
The game wardens have been very
acgive in this section of the State in
tnelr efforts to enforce the laws re-
Earding hunting out of season, and
rlolations of the fishing laws. So far
the number Of offenders has been very
small, and the State Game Warden
apd his assistants have expressed
themselves as being highly satisfied
with the existing conditions and the
nigh regard the sportsmen-the real
sDOrtsmen-of Bourbon county seem
&c have for its provisions.
FROM all accounts there will be a
plentiful amount of game for Bour-
Dor county hun;ers. Rabbits are said
20 be abundant and quail numerous
-oweVer, the crop of quail is not as
Ia-ce as it was thought it would be-
br. it is said there will be plenty OF

SUSPECTS ARRESTED.

Five young men, one of whom af-
terward proved to be the son of a
well-known Covington Councilman,
were placed under arrest here Friday
afternoon by the local authorities on
a charge of beating their way from
Covington to Paris on an l.. & N
freight train.
The authority for their arrest came
in the shape of telephone call from
the Covington authorities asking that
the young men be apprehended and
held for them. Upon their arrival
here the boys managed to give the
police the slip, but were later arrest
ed.
The young men were suspected OF
having been implicated in the rob
berry of several stores in COvingtOn
recently, but the officers who came
from COvington to take them back
could not fasten tie crimes upon
them and they were released, after
an exhaustive and complete examin
alton.
The young man who was taken
back to Covington and whose name
was not given out, is said to be the
son of a Covington Councilman, and
was in no way connected with the
bunch arrested, but came with them
on a boyish lark.
