A LETTER FROM J. II. T.
OUR FELLOW CRIMINAL.
Greensboro, KY, Sept. 8.

| OWensDOrO, n.y., sept. y.
Dear Tinsley:-I was gravely dis
appointed at not seeing you over for
the fair. | took your absence PEI
sonally to heart. 1t 'peared like you
doubted my Pythian-like attachment
|, to put you next. Since you were not
over the last of June / know-unless
you "sent"-you must be as dry as
a camel in mid-Sahara, and nothing
would have delighted me more than
to have led you to Yaller Banks
oasis. You see / am still loyal.
1t was an agreeable experience to
meet so many Hartford people at the
fair, and yet ! am almost sorry they
came. Meeting them makes me des-
perately homesick. My work here is
agreeable and Nmy association con-
genial, but [ can not get away from
the longing for the oldtime associa-
tons at Hartford. Indeed, have net
come back for visit because l did
not want to aggravate my homesick-
ness. greensboro looked, Sunday af-
ternoOn, very much like Goldsmiths
Deserted Village, and Ythink if had
had an aeroplane | should have fol-
lowed my old neighbors home.
There is much here that | like It
is good to see the streams of night
lights stretching away to the four
points of the compass, there is a
strange attraction in the shutting
machines, the hurrying crowds and
moving multitude. and yet l am boy
iSh enough to sometime hunger for
the quiet old town that has been the
stage of many of the most pleasing
incidents of my life. If l consulted
only my own personal pleasure l
should come back to sit by the old
hearthstone for whatever lease of life
the gods may yet have in store for
me, and lie down at last in quiet old
lakewood, but the current of time
sweeps me elsewhere.
But enough of this sentiment.
Take a day off and run over to see
us. AN evening in the Messenger Of
fee would interest you. We have
a mechanical equipment here that is
inferior to that of a metropolitan
newspaper plant only in size. Be
ginning at $50 in the evening, we
have on the press at a little past two
in the morning ten II twelve page
paper, and a press that runs them or
at the rate OF $4,000 an hour. We
use twenty-five people. and for about
eight hours the office, from editorial
rooms to the basement. resembles
so much as a beehive when
the buckwheat is in bloom.
Because Hartford is a dry town I'll
charge it up to one of those strange
tricks of the mind that nobody has
ever been able to explain, but l heai
of a man in your town who, feeling
anxiety about his mother being alone,
made three trips to her house one
night to see about her. and at last
recollected that she had told hiln she
was going away for visit. But
strange things will occur, even in
dry town.
Very truly yours,
j, II, THOMAS.

COTTON MEN SEES NEED

Several speakers pointed out that America would have to emulate oth- CT exporting nations in impressing upon buyers the genius and quality of American made commodities.

IMPORTANT MEETING.

There will be meeting of the Sweet Potato Growers of Pulaski county at Mabelvale on Monday, Jan uary 20, at in the afternoon for the purpose of discussing Disease Con trol and other very important mat ters that are of interest, and import ance to all potato growers.

Full, state agent with the U. s. Bureau of Markets, will be present.

the future of the market. For this reason, the natural tendency is doubt less to underestimate it's possibilities and accept with undue reserve the es- timate of the Committee on Cotton Distribution, that exportrequiremen would total more than two million bales in excess of last seasons over seas movement. As the facts gradual ly reveal themselves, we believe these figures are now entitled to very serious consideration as a conserya- tive forecast of the extent of this po- tential demand; and, in this connec- tion, we wish to call attention to a new phase in the situation which now seems developing. According to yes terday's press reports, the peril of Bolsheyism Emphasized in recent events in Germany has caused Presi- dent Wilson to assume suddenly a very definite position, as to the poi1cy the Allies should pursue because of recent developments. In order to check this increasing menace, senti- ment is growing that the dangers are so serious in excluding raw materials from enemy countries, that we must now consider them as possible com petitor for a portion of existing sup plies in the not distant future, possi- bly, before peace has been formally negotiated The news from Europe along these lines must be closely followed.
 Although commodities should and are declining, generally speaking, we believe that the export needs and financial position of the growers cause an unique situation in cotton, which will eventually result in q gradual marketing of existing sup plies at continuously advancing prices.
