rife pace at the start, however, in which they were consistently among the leaders, resulted in many stops. Wilcox has partaken in every 50o-mile race held at the Indianapolis speedway. It was his first victory, however. Of the six half thousand mile grounds the seventh international sweepstakes was for a distance of 300 miles-three local drivers finished first Ray Har- roun won in 1911 and Joe Dawson in 1912
 The race was one of the most sensa- tional ever held here, Broken steering knuckles, the loss of wheels, two cars overturning without serious injury and the loss of exhaust pipes kept the crowd on edge from start to finish. The electrical timing device was brol1- en when one car, pulling in minus front wheel. caught the wire and tore it from it's connections. This hap pened in the last 50 miles of the race.
 At no time was the field strung out, no more than two minutes separating the winner and the second man. The remainder of the field was proporticn- afely punched

NOTICE TO COTTON GROWERS
Move Looking To Better Market
Prices

During the past few day ] have
heard much dissatisfaction expressed
about our cotton market at Grenada,
also about the seed market AS Farm
Demonstrators, Stand ready to help
in any way that | can to protect the
best interest of every industry in
Granada County.
COTTON is COTTON and there is
no reason why this product should not
bring as good price in Grenada as
it does in any of the adjoining mar
kets. l believe that / have a plan that
vii! enable us to get the full market
price for our cotton according to
grade and staple and ! am therefore
calling all of the cotton growers in
the vacinity of Grenada to meet me
at the Court House Saturday Oct.
11th at O'Clock P. M. in order that
| might make known to you this plan.
Many of our growers have spent
many days in criticising our local
buyers and some have made long and
t;resome trips to other markets and
dare say that most all " the
growers who receive this notice will
not have time to spend one hour in
studying how we can improve our
market here Work and study is
much more valuable than kicking and
cussing. Come out and let's see what
we can do. Remember the Court
House in the place and 8 o'clock is
the hour and when the bell rings let
all come promptly.
