The new warehouse here is abous
finished and is ready for storing cot
ton. There will be lot of cotton
stored in it this winter to wait for
better prices. A good many OF the
farmers around are not selling any OF
| their cotton this fall and have some OF
their last years crop. We are glad
to see them hold their cotton OFF the
market, for every bale means a bet
ter price for those who have to sell
| in order to meet their obligations, anc
the farmers are in a better position
to held their cotton this. year than
they were last year, owing to the fact
that they haven't mucn fertilizer to
pay for and the crop was made with
less expense.

everything being so dry made the
woods burn more rapidly and could not

lot of good timber.
