A CHANCE FOR THE FARMERS.

So far as we can see the new move
for the formation of the Southern
Cotton Association seems to offer the
average farmer chance unheard of
before. Hitherto the farmers have not
been together on the various PROPOSE
tons which have been submitted. The
present outlook for the cotton far
mer< <seems bright and il is hoped
that they will succeed in perfecting
that kind OF organization which will
secure fair price for their products.
For mary years the farmer haS been
prey to manipulators and specula-
tors, hut apparently their days are
numbered and it will not be long until
there will be agricultural liberty in
these parts. But in addition to organ
ization,. there ought to be diversifi-
cation and preparation for the boil
weevil and the making of this section
self-supporting as to most food prod
ucts. q

not know what prompted the girl to
leave home. He says she was well

When asked if he thoughta love af-

girls strange disappearance, he an
swered in the negative, saying she
went with several young men but
seemed to have no preference for
any particular one. The girl is about
II years old. She was just recovering
from a spell of typhoid fever and
was not strong physically. Mr.. Hyatt
is very much distressed over his
daughters strange conduct and will
gladly welcome any information as to
her whereabouts.

of concern to~aH our people. With
