gtng out information. He is regarded
today as one of the best posted young
men in the state.
Serve has been his motto. and he
hss never lost an opportunity to serve
his people or any one needing his
service. He is Christian. has been
since a small boy, and has been active
both in church and Sunday school.
His main forte has been with the young
people. They have recognized his
worth by placing him at the head Of
their convention. where he could rem

The First African Baptist church Of
Tuscaloosa knows his worth because
he has for almost a quarter OF a CEN

school as superintendent rendering
good service. They have a well or
ganixed Sunday school, due to his
work. Then, too, he has been organ
ist Of the church for nearly twenty

pine organ men in the south.
Professor Barnes Is considered mu-
seal genius In Alabama. His talent
has been used for the development Of
his young people. He is serving his
church and his race. placing the racial
needs frst.
In everything that tends to develop
and uplift the race this young man
takes an active part. He is connected
with a number of fraternal societies

During the summer. while not in the
schoolroom, he devotes his time to the
insurance business, being connected
with the Union Central Relief compa-
ny Of Birmingham. He is kept busy
all the time. He Is manager OF the

Many honors have been given him
In his state and his native home. Two
years ago Selma university recognized
his worth In the literary world by con-
ferring on him the degree Of master
of arts. one well merited by the young
educator.
The First African Baptist church is.
indeed. large church. Professor
Rarnes is one Of the trustees and was
chairman OF the building committee
when a structure at cost Of So. 200
was erected by them. Not only Is he
the secretary OF the trustee board
and financial secretary Of the church.

The U. >. Bureau OF Agriculture

of estimates of the crops raised in
Mississippi:
Corn-Estimate this year 7o,-

year 58,275,ooo; price November
/ 70 producers IS cts. per bu., last
sear 7s css.

$4,000; price November to pro-
ducers 118 cts. per bu., year ago
100 cts.
Oats-Estimate this year a.
100000 bu., final estimate last
year $3.50, 900; price November 1
to producers So cts. per bu., year

Potatoes-Estimate this year t.
10000 bu., final estimate last
year 96o,ooo; price November I
to producers 76 cts. per bu., year
ago 95 cts.
Sweet Potatoes-Estimate this
year $3.50, 900 bu., final estimate
last year 4, 500, 900; price Novem.
Der I to producers 81 cts, year
ago 70 cts.
Cotton-The September IS con.
dition, as applied to the estimated
acreage, forecast a production of
approximately I,o1S,oco bales
(5oo lbs. gross), compared with
final census report last year of
I.245,535 bales. Price November
TO producers II.9 cts. per lb.,
year ago 6I cts.
1t will be seen that, with the
exception of cotton there was an
increase this year over last of every
crop enumerated, and the decrease
in cotton in this state is not in
proportion to the total decrease as
compared with the yield last year.
With the exception of wheat
and cotton (the latter nearly
double last years price,, the price
of the various crops is from IS to
40 per cent below last year.

from Marx, and by so doing /

got letter saying they had mis-
placed my order, also that wire
had advanced In price since their

amount of wire I wanted was worth

the order and bought at home,

F. A. ELLIS.
The Reveille has always contend'i
ed that much of the money sent to
mail order houses Is foolishly spent.
Many people are deluded into be-
lieving that they save money by
thus buying, but If they carefully
compared quality of goods, as well
as prices, and considered freight
charges, they would find that they
were really paying more than by
buying at home, to say nothing of
losses In transit which are never
borne by the distant houses from
which the purchase is made.
