PARIS COTTON DELIVERIES
MORE THAN $4,000 POUNDS
All Products Command Hand
some Prices In the Local
Markets

A spectacle was presented to
the people of Paris last Saturday,
the like of which has never be-
fore been seen in this section of
West Tennessee. when farmers
from everv nook and corner of
the county seemed to vie with
each other in marketing their
products.
King Cotton led the van,
$1,000 pounds being delivered to
the gin in this city on that day.
They came from every section
and the street leading to the gin
was lined on either side for a
block in each direction with
wagons waiting their turn to be
unloaded. Only a faint idea of
the amount of cotton brought to
this city on that date can be
gathered by observing the pic
ture of the lines of wagons
which we reproduce in this issue.
On the above date cotton was
selling at S6.25 per hundred and
the deliveries of this staple
netted Henry county farmers
nearly $5,OO0.0O. Up to the
present time more than 5000
pounds of cotton has been de-
livered to the local buyers. This
is about one-fourth of the esti-
mated crop in this county. 11,000
pounds was baled at the gin here
last Saturday.
Large quantities of all other
farm products were converted
into cash in the local market
Saturday, including corn, hay,
wheat, hogs. cattle, etc., B. F.
Diggs, one of the largest live
stock dealers in Henry county
shipped large number of cattle
on that day. He has during the
past year handled more than
$100, 900 worth of livestock, and
states that prospects have never
been better for a good market
this fall.
All in all, Paris had the aspect
of a big trading center and bust
ness was unusually good in all
lines.

1915 was $4708.63, while in
August 1916 it was $5166. 7S.
In September 1915 there were
941 orders issued against 1927 in
September 1916, an increase of
Sc orders or more than 9 per
cent. There were $50 paid or
ders in September 1915 against

an increase of SO orders which is
nearly 80 percent. The cash in
volved in September 1915 was

tember 1916.
In the postal savings system
Mr.. Caldwell did not give out
any actual figures but it is under

the deposits amounted to little
better than $1,000 90 while now
they are in the neighborhood Of

LOCAL POSTOFFICE SHOWS
SPLENDID GAINS PAST YEAR
Indicates That All Lines Of
Business Is Improving Over
Same Period Last Year.
Gains ShownsIn All Depart
mentS.

The first three months, or
quarter, as it is better known, in
the Postofice fiscal year was up
on September 30, and Postmaster
Y. @. Caldwell has prepared
some interesting statistics from
his record books which show
that conditions are improving.
The figures shown below tend to
point out a steady, healthy in
crease which should be taken as
an indication that all lines of
business, generally speaking, are
looking better than for some
time. This fact was pointed out
in the last bank statements of
the local banks and is now en-
phasized by the postoffice state
ment. 1t is in part as follows:
In July, 1915, in the postal
department of the local postofice
showed 1888. SO as sale of stamps,
paper ETC., against S1007.70 for
July 1916. an increase of $24. Is,
or about II per cent increase.
In August 1915, the sales were
$794. 45, against $736.78, in Aug
ust 1916, which is an increase OF
$42. 33, which is 5 1-3 per cent
increase.
In September 1915, the sales
$740. Sc, against $858.28 in Sep.
tember 1916, an increase Of
S106. 72, which is a percentage Of
IA 1-2 increase.
In the money order depart
ment in July 1915 there were
Oil orders issued; in July 1916
956; an increase of 45, or an in
crease of about 5 per cent. The
paids in July 1915 were 35I
against 378 in July 1916; an in
crease of 21 orders or about
per cent. The cash involved il
July 1915 was $5440.82 agains

In August 1915 the orders

Grover Had it Right.

Syracuse Post Standard. Thirty
years ago a democratic president was
in the White House, the only democrat
ic president from Buchanan to Wilson.
In that day there was neither war nor
rumor of war. Nevertheless, Grover
Cleveland, we are reminded by Col
lier's, demanded of congress a navy
which should be more than shabby
ornament" His reason was single and
simple.
''The nation that cannot resist ag-
erosion is constantly exposed to it.
Its foreign policy is of necessity weak
and its negotiations are conducted with
disadvantage because it is not in con-
d1tion to enforce terms dictated by its
sense of right and justice.
Grover Cleveland was neither orator
nor scholar as Wilson is. But in all
Of Wilson's musical phrases about ma
tional preparedness he has not stated
his case more clearly than Grover did
thirty years ago.

Post Office in Two Counties.

Beebe Plain, Quebec. has what is
said to be the only double post office in
the world. The office is half in Canada
and half in the States, with Beebe,
Quebec, on one side, and Beebe, Yer
mont, on the other. An iron post in
the middle of the front porch marks
the international boundary line. Aside
from its location the building is of in
terest on account of the material from
which it is built, which is granite, ma
tive to the locality, and on account of
its age, which is about century. The
two prosperous communities which it
serves, and which are practically one
village, have population of about
1000 and are said to own more auto
mobiles than any other village of this
size in Canada.
