The very name of the great new cir

this gigantic circus is to the effect
that those who attend the perform
anees will witness the greatest pro-

This is likewise true of the mammoth

GALLEY TWENTY ONE
OUR COTTON CROP

1t has been generally understood
that the cotton crop this year is
about three weeks late. As a result
of this understanding there have been
a few bales of cotton ginned in the
Memphis territory, and because
there was not a buyer on every cor
ner, when the farmer got to town, he
concluded cotton was sorry asset
and had no market value.
The reduction that has taken place
in many things has no doubt caused
the spinner and Spectator to thml.
that cotton should be reduced. too.
The price of cotton is not TOO high,
and present prices and better should
be realized for every pound Of white
cotton picked this fall.
When things are little uncertain
most people do nothing, and then a
few people do some very silly and
foolish things.
Do not the farmers and then ten
ants realize that Memphis and the
towns in its territory. with the rail-
roads, merchants and bankers, de-
pend mainly upon cotton for their
occupation and their living and their
prosperity? The cities of the north
and east sell millions each year that
is paid for in cotton. The balance Of
trade in favor of the United States
with foreign countries is put each
year in our favor by cotton exports.
With these facts in mind, is it not
strange that our people refuse to use
their own good judgment and in
stead, when a few hundred bales of
half and half cotton are sold below
the market price in Texas, they jump
at the conclusion that cotton has
gone to the bow-wows
There is ample money to move this
cotton crop in a gradual and orderly
Pick your cotton clean, pick it rap
idly, so as to get out as much good
cotton as you can before frost.
Do not try to sell before the mar
ket opens up. We all still draw
our rations, and the man will act
wisely who does not rush his cotton
md seed to market at this time.
Pick your cotton clean and pick it
rapidly. Good cotton will sell WE'LL

MARCO B0zzARIs


At midnight in his guarded tent.
The Turk was dreaming Of the
hour
When Greece, her knee in suppliance
bent,
Should tremble at her power.
In dreams. through camp and court
he bore
The trophies Of conquerer;
In dreams, his song Of triumph
heard;
Then wore his monarch's signet-
ring.
Then pressed that monarch's throne
"a king;
As wild his thoughts, and gay Of
wing.
AS Eden's garden-bird.
- - N4l5.. 5-sast-fsst W - fflHr
At midnight in the forest shades.
Bozzaris ranged his Suliote band.
True as the steel of his tired blades,
Heroes in heart and hand,
There had the Persian's thousands
stood,
There had the glad earth drunk
their blood,
On Old Plataea's day;
And now there breathed that
haunted air.
The sons of sires who conquered
there,
With arms to strike, and soul to
dare,
AS quick, as far as they.
An hour passed on-the Turk awoke;
That bright dream was his last.
He woke-to hear his sentries shrek
"To arms! they come the Greek!
the Creek"
He woke-to die mid flame and
smoke.
And shout and groan, and sabre
stroke,
And death-shots falling thick and
As Iightnings from the mountain
cloud;
And heard, with voice as trumpet
loud,
BozzaFis cheer his band.
"Strike-till the last armed foe ex-
str IKE your affairs and your
fires;
Strike for the green graves Of your
God~and your native land~
They fought-like brave men, long
and well;
They piled the ground with Mos
lem slain;
They conquered--but Bozzaris fell,
Bleeding at every vein.
His few surviving comrades saw
His smile when rang their proud
"hurrah."
And the red field was won;
Then saw in death his eyelids
close.
Calmly as to a nights repose.
Like flowers at set of sun.
But to the hero when his sword
Has won the battle for the free,
Thy voice sounds ike a prophets
word,
And in it's hollow tones are heard
The thanks Of millions yet to be.
Bozzarisl with the stories brave
Greece nurtured in her glory's time.
Rest thee-there is no prouder
grave
Evenu in her own proud cline,
We tell thy doom without sigh;
For thou art freedoms now-and
Fame's--
One Of the few, the immortal
names
That were not born to die.
