MRS LEILA STONE.
THE Perfect Laxatlve

Mrs. Leila Stone Of Columbia died
October 9th 1918, age "a years, 6 mos
9 days. Her remains were laid to
rest in Sandy Plain cemetery in
Horny County, the following day.
Mrs. Leila has a host of friends and
relatives throughout Lexington who
are sad to hear of her death.
A loved one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in her home
Which never can be refilled.
Like flower you passed away
Destroyed in all your bloom.
You left this world and all your
friends.
To moulder in the tomb.
Dearest loved one we have laid thee
In the peace graves embrace
But thy memory shall be cherished
Till I see your heavenly face.
Heaven now retains my treasure
Earth the lonely casket keeps
And the sunbeams long to linger.
Where thy dear one sleeps.
Again I hope to meet you
When the day of life is fled.
And in heaven with joy to greet you
Where no farewell tears are She'd
One Who Loved Her.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 25.-Nervous Fluctuations over fairly wide range were registered in cotton today. During the entire session prices were at an ad. vance but at one time, under liquida- tion and hedge offerings, the market came near breaking below the level of yesterdays close. Buying was based largely on the favorable tone of the news from Washington regarding price fixing but some buying was caused by
 unfavorable crop accounts early in the day.
 The opening was higher, on favorable
 Washington reports, and the advance
 was widened until it amounted to 67 to 80 points The weekly crop accounts
 from the government at 10 o'clock were
 bullish enough to carry prces to the
 highest levels seen in the morning ses-
 sion. No October notices appeared here
 although there was liquidation in that
 months yesterday on the belief that
 tenders would appear today, the first
 notice day for the incoming spot months.
 Gradually support was withdrawn, of-
 ferings increased and in the early after
 noon the most active months were sent down to within five points of yester- days close An official message from
