A Few Questions.

People who never mind their own
business are very much such a class
of animals as the cross, surly. whfffet
dogs that are always barking, bit
ing and nabbing somebody. We
wonder if they would appreciate a
lecture? We will ask them few
questions just to find out.
Don't you think the world and the
people in it will live and prosper
without the tremendous anxiety you
carry on everything and everybody
in the whole neighborhood and
world besides? Can't Mrs. A. make
a cake without you lying awake at
night for fear there is going to be
q wedding and you will not be in
rited? Can't Jennie have new
gown but what you must immedi-
ately see it, know the price, and for
what special occasion it was pur-
chased, or die of curiosity? Can't
Neighbor B or his wife go by but
you'll bet they'er going to see some
body and have sighted you?

LETTER FROM "BUDDIEv JAMES

Below are two interesting letters
recently received by Mrs. Moiiie
James, Of Paris, from her son, Mr..
Cornelieus w. James.
Mr.. James is now in the y. S.
Navy, attached to the y. S. S. Gov
ingt0n, which recently crossed the
Atlantic to France and has now safe
" arrived on its return trip:
Dear Mamma:
Am back in the States safe, after
a tiresome trip. Going over there was
40 excitement, except the usual sub
marine scares.
We took "The Rainbow Division"
which includes some Of every branch
OF the Army from every State. We
landed at a Southern port IN France.
The people there were very nice to
us. The morning our ship got IN the
whole city turned out to see US. They
threw apples to US by the hundred
and we sure appreciated them for
we hadn't had any fruit for SO long.
We threw pennies to the kids on the
dock, and you should have seen them
fight over them.
| looked over all the soldiers to
see if Paris was represented, but
could not find any one until | got to
St. Nazaire. / was on sentry duty
and happened to glance in the
scullery, and who should l see but
Owen Fisher, we were certainly glad
to see each other. Call his grand
mother on the phone and tell her
/ he is safe in France. He asked me
to write his father.
1 bought a scarf and pillow cover.
| The pillow cover is for Miss Nell
Buckner, she has been so nice to me.
This is my first liberty in the States
and am so excited, l can't think.
will write again tomorrow, maybe
l will be settled down in that time
and can explain everything better.
Closing with love to all of you,
"BUDDIE."

The Best Man in Paris.

The best man we have in Paris for
the general good of the town is the
one who you will always see on the
front seat in the progressive band
wagon. He is the first one to ex-
tend an open hand and warm hand
to greet the stranger and welcom"
him to the best town in the State.
He win resent an insult to our town
BIS quickly as he would a slur at n
member of his family. He very po-
litely invites the chronic croaker to
move on" He is ever ready to
give his just portion to every pub
lie enterprise. He talks up our
town at home and abroad and be-
lieves it the best place upon God 5
green earth in which to live and de-
sires to be buried here when he dies.
Let us all try and be like this man
for one year and our little city will
take on new life and improve as
never before in its history.

 Trading became more orderly under the new regulations. but the undertone denoted fresh liquidation evidently aris- ing from urgent conditions. To a con- siderable extent the further selling was believed to represent foreign offerings.
 It Is generally recognized that this weeks serious shrinkage of prices would have been almost impossible. but for the reversal sustained by the Italian army and the revival of chaotic conditions in Russia. These developments found clear reflection in the new low record made by exchange on Rome and the greater de- preciation In Russian external bonds.

LIVERPOOL WILL
 RECEIVE COTTON
Advices Show Falling Off Over Last Year in Cotton
 Ginned During October

New York, November S-While general business was quiet. the cotton market was nervous and irregular this morning with moderate bulges meeting increased offerings from both local and southern cargoes. New war months were relatively firm, but January broke from 26.34c 10 25.99c and closed at 26.07c. The general list closed steady at a net advance of point on January, but i2 to 29 points net lower on other deliveries. The strength of January as attributed to the covering of trade shorts in that position against sales of later deliveries
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of points to & decline of s points net higher on trade buying of near months, and covering of shorts. Around 275Sc for December and 26.22c for May, the market weakened and broke rather sharply in the later trading under Wall street and southern selling. Decen- ber sold off to H.20c and May to 25.8lc, with the close several points up from the lowest on covering. It was rumored that private returns indicated a ginning of 7275.000 bales up to November i against s,69300O for the same date last year, which would indicate ginning for the last period of i.7040o0, against l. 320 900 bales last year. These compari- sons may have helped to unsettle senti- ment, while there also some conf1- sion over the export outlook This arose from Liverpool advices stating that the British government had allotted 25,oA0 tons of ocean freight room to carry cot ton from this country during November. In some quarters this was supposed to mean that only that amount of room would be available for shipments to Liv- arpool this month while others believe that the space allotted by the govern ment would be In addition to room se- cured through other channels.
 The weather was generally clear and cool throughout the south.

 As result of favorable weather, rural offerings of new corn to arrive broadened out considerably and handlers looked for a material enlargement of receipts by the middle of next week.

 More resistance to pressure was dis played by oats than by corn. Some im- provement in domestic demand seemed evident. but the call from the seaboard remained light.
