COTTON FIELDS
q ""'"''1 LOOK FINE

Quite curiosity for this part OF
the country, and something great
many people in this part OF the state
have never seen, are the broad ana
luxuriant cotton fields now in bloom
Just beyond the thriving little town
of Kathleen. For quite a distance
on each side of the public highway
may be seen this staple commodity
of the South, growing in profusloh
in long straight rows, stretching
across acres of land. 1t is now ABOUT
waist high, and the stalks are COW
cred with bloom and young boles, a
beautiful sight, and if the beholdef
happens to be from Georgia or either
of the Carolinas, it makes him real
homesick, and does not require
very elastic imagination to see the
old red clay hills, with their shantie'
nesting along the side.
Soon all these blossoms will devei
Cd into boles, or pods, which, at ma
turity open, somewhat like dhes'
mt burr. revealing the snowy-whlt'
cotton, which is also beautil"
scene as it glistens in the sun
It is well worth anyone's time I
visit these fields, and since the ROAD
to Kathleen are in fine shape, IT IS
delishtful trip. The owners OF I'M
farm expect to realize splenui
I sum, and no doubt will, as hlh
