COTTON PICKING
EAR ADVANCED
Government Report Shows Total
Number Of Bales Ginned TO Sept.
1 to be sO6, as Compared With SO
Bales Last Year.

There were s06 bales Of cotton,
counting round as half bales,ginned
in Claiborne County, from the crop
Of 1918, prior to September /, 1918,
as Compared with 80 bales ginned to
September /, 1917.
This is nearly 400 per cent more
than last year, and no doubt the num-
Der Of bales ginned since the first
IS greater, proportionately, than is
given in the above report.
All Of the county gins report an
unusual pressure, some running day
and night where sufficient labor can
be secured to have double shift.
Notwithstanding this great rush Of
cotton, the report comes from every
section that the crop is short, and
there will be no more cotton raised
this year than last in spite Of the
fact that very much more was plant

tons, and reports come to the effect
that residents of German cities along
the Rhine, not far distant, are wild
" excited over the near approach of

This not only shows that the gov
ernment made very close estimate.
but that Claiborne county gave close
to q hundred per cent registration.
One non declarant alien, that is. a
native Of foreign country who had
not declared his intention Of becom-
ing a citizen of the United States,
registered. There were also four
foreign born registrants who had be-
come citizens of this country,
The day was rather trying one
on the registrars. They were on du-
ty from Z Al N. to 8 P. M. A large
part Of this time there was nothing
to do and the time hung rather heav-
ily on the hands of those who are in
the habit Of working all of the time.
SO far as the Reveille knows there
was not a registrar who claimed pay
for his services.

HENRY D. BUFKIN
WOUNDED IN FRANCE
Second Claiborne Boy to Fall in Bat
tie. Extent of Wounds Not Deter
mined.


Mrs. Mollie Davis of Willows, moth
er Of young Henry D. Bufkin, received
a telegram last week announcing that
he had been wounded in France some
time during August, but the extent
Of his wound was undetermined. Some
time before this Henry wrote his
mother that he had received slight
wound below the knee, but it is prob
able that the wound announced in the
telegram was received later.
Mr.. Bufkin was drawn for service
last fall. He is said to be an exz
cellent boy, and just before leaving
for camp he united with the church.
This IS the second Claiborne boy to
fall in battle. The first was Geo. B.
Roam, who later died Of his wounds.
The friends Of young Bufkin will anx-
iously await further news from him.
