TO the Aid Of the Farmers,

~ VAS A-AASA Va eAAS q 80 AAAS@ ~
The. well known and enterprisi1s
arm of Oaughman-Kaminer Co.. have
announced that they will pay ten cts
Fer pound for cotton, either for goods
bought ct their msmouth store or on
accounts due the firm. This will go .
long way towards relieving the situa-
ton. The firm has done large busi-
ness throughout the past season. and
they are prepared to take care Of the
wants of their farmer customers. They
carry stock second to none in the
State snd farmers can get their wants
supplied, and at the same time, get
ten cents for their cotton. Ten cents
is good prics for cotton considering
the present outlook. It is two cents
more than the market price, and just
what the "buy-a-bAle" movement is
paying in single bale lots. They will
take YOU whole crop and pay you ten
cents forit in exchange for goods or
on whayou owe them for goods.
This the right and proper step.
Lexineon merchants always come to
the frat at the right time. Others
shouldollow suit, if they expect to
stay the running. Let everybody
brino their cotton to TaYinoton.
