that they bought the show or
chestra for the night, hired a
hall and invited thereto the be-
painted maidens of the stage.
The dance was O. k. Far be it
from Hogwallow to say other
wise.
And so enraptured was one
devotee that he is said to have
to have exclaimed like Whittier.
sand beautiful maidens moved down in
the dance,
With the magic of motion and sunshine
of glance;
And white arms wreathed lightly, and
| tresses fell free
As the plumage of birds in some tropical
tree"

There is talk of organizing a
new church in Hogwallow. This
church would have a broad plat
form and would open its doors
to gin and lemon extract drink
ers, and others who for failure
to pay their church dues are not
in good standing in their own
churches.

The Hogwallow Horseshoe
Club will now organize for spring
business. Old horseshoes are
now being stolen from Blacker
preparatory for the spring open
ing. There are already many
good pitchers here and much
new talent will be developed as
the season advances. Matching
and horseshoe pitching will rival
each other in popular favor.

It is said a certain Richmond
county school main" is a pretty
wise old duck after all. When
her pupils are about to overtake
her in their studies she turns
them back so she can get a new
start on them, and in this way
she keeps them thinking she is
smarter than they.

When F. Blacker was in the
mercantile business in Rocking
ham several years ago, suit OF
clothes was sold to a negro on
the installment plan. The man
died with the suit only partially
paid for. The payments being
long overdue, and Blacker not
knowing the man was dead, sent
a clerk to the mans home to get
the suit. Arriving at the house,
the clerk was informed that the
man was dead and buried in the
clothes. So the clerk returned
to Blacker and told him that he
himself would have to go gel
that suit. We're is he? asked
Blacker. "In He'll" answered
the clerk. "All right, just vait
till die! said Blacker.

Watt Long, Jr. yesterday came
across with the first snake story
of the season. He has just killed
the biggest chicken snake he
ever saw. He took a corn knife
and cut the snake in two and took
the reptile by the tail and shook
out five whole hens eggs and a
white door knob which his wife
had been using as a nest egg,
and three two-day old chicks.
The crowd took in the egg and
chicken part and the size of the
snake all right, but they looked
strange at him about the door
knob part of the story. Watt
had the white door knob in his
pocket but it did not seem to
help matters any.

Lawyer Sanders of Hamlet is
rather much of a wit-and a
good fellow, too.
He had two clients charged,
the one with stealing a watch
and the other with stealing a
COW. Both were locked together
in the Hamlet calaboose. Said
the cow thief to the watch thief:
"What time is it," And when
the watch thief countered by
answering Milking time" the
welkin resounded with the
sounds of combat.
Coney Steele took dinner at

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Jan. 3.--,Corn scored a sharp advance today after moderate weakness at the start. The rise ap- peared to be due chiefly to the fac: that January receipts were not en- larging to the extent which most dealers had looked for. The close was unsettled, 1 IA to 3-Sc net higher with January 143 3-S to 14S 1-2 and May 137 IA to 137 3-S. Oats gained 1 to Il 1-2c@1 5-Sc. In provisions the outcome ranged from 2c decline to 25c advance.
 Although conditions had become ideal for maturing the corn crop ana for hardening wagon roads, bearisn effects on the corn market did not pe- come pronounced. Instead, doubts were expressed whether tanners would do much hauling while the tenn peratures remained abnormal.
 Some of the biggest shorts ID the market were reported to have covereu on the bulge.
 Oats followed corn, ana turnea strong after small break early. ...
 Provisions averaged higher with grain. Lard, though displayed reia- tive weakness owing 10 an increase of the stock on hand here.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON,

New Orleans, Jan. 3.-The down. ward movement in cotton was contin- ued today. but the market had it's per iods of strength and made strong re- coveries around the middle of the day. The close was barely steauy at the lowest levels, the nea results of the session being losses of S3 to SS points. The early selling was in the nature of liquidation, chiefly, while later short sales were stimulated by pri- vate forecast of 10,700,0C0 bales gin- ned to the first of January. Selling toward the close wah based on anti cipations of small mill takings. The new demand was due principally to the large experts, the total foreign movement from all ports for the day being 36,651 bales against 3059S this day last year, bringing the total for the week up to 194,146 bales against 113,246 this week last year.
 Spot cotton quiet and unchanged. Sales on the spot 276 bales; to arrive 521. Low middling 2700: middling 3075; good middling 3175. Receipts 3,S20: stock 434,4S7.
 Cotton closed barely steady at q decline of S3 to 8S points.

NEW YORK COTTeN.

New York, Jan. 3.-There was q further decline in rhe cotton market today. The close was barely steady at net decline of % to "a points.
 Tho market opened barely steady at a decline under renewal of yes terday's selling movement and liq- uidat1on by recent buyers who were probably disappointed by the lower Liverpool cables. The circulation of January notices. estimated at about 600 bales and reports that cotton was oming here for delivery, was also a factor.
 This decline seemed sufficient to attract some covering by shorts while the selling pursuer tapered off suggesting a somewhat firmer tech nical position and the market ral. lied during the middle of the day. Scattered buying was encouraged by reports that Washington had auth orized reduction of about $1 q hundred in ocean freight rates from southern ports to Liverpool. Trade in this were moderate buyers on the bulge, but offerings increased dur ing the afternoon. when there was some selling here for southern ac- count Stop orders were uncovered as the market broke into low ground. 1t is reported preliminary returns to a Southern authority in- dicate a ginning of 10,700,00O to January 1.
 Spot quiet; middling $3l65.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New York, Jan. 3.-Esrly week ad- vances were followed by week reac- tions ill the cotton market after the New Years day adjournment. Pre- holiday buyers seemed to have been influenced by an idea that the turn of the year would bring in an ex- pending trade demand. Evidently this failed to materialize in the ex- pecteO preparations, and prices weakened under realizing or liquida- tion.
 There has been no special news feature connected with the decline. A few January notices have been is : sued and there were reports today that otton was heading in this di- rection for delivery. The January premium over March has been fair ly we'll maintained however, and il. is rumored Japanese interests whI took up some cotton on December also are prepared to accept deliver ies on January contracts. This talk is onnected between New York and the Orient by wa yof the Panama Canal and there also were reports that Japanese firm has leased q local warehouse for cotton.
 Further rains and rather severe weather has been reported in the south accompanid h>' ( rns that all unpicked cotton had been virtually ruined. At the same time, the wet weather is supposed 10 be batting a better season in the ground man there has been for three or four vars. Reports that potash is to be sent here from A!sac and that the United States sovern.n mt is prepar- cd to "ell largc quantities of nitrate for fertilizer, also have given T more cptin,is'"' outlook f,r.t he com ing cr1'.
 On the ther hand clearances for the week have been larger and a good part of the buying on declines has been attributed to trade inter- ests.
 The New York as we'll as the New Orleans market will be closed on Battle of New Orleans Day, Janu- ary Sth.
