| United States Cotton Census Enum-
orator J.eH. Simmons passed through
Plain Dealing yesterday, gathering
ginning statistics. He says that the
same vim is being shown all over Bos-
sier Parish as is being shown here in
order to gather and rush on the market
the present cotton crop. No doubt the
ginning receipts for the month of August
will exceed by several hundred bales
those of the same month ever before
shown in the parish. Fifteen cent cotton
has tendency to put new life into the
most staid old citizen.
