S,Oeet Potatoes Go
To $3.50 A Bushel
Advance of A Dollar A Bushel But
Too Late For Henry County
Growers.

Sweet potates took rise this week
thinking perhaps, if they were to
retain their place as first crop In
several vicinities, that to ever amount
to anything they must join in with
"everybody's doin' it" and skyrocket
in value. They advanced conse-
quently, a dollar per bushel, and at
St. Louis, Cleveland, Chicago, and
several other markets were selling
this week for $3.50 to $2.75, mostly
$3.50 for bushel hampers of Nancy
Halls.
The demand and movement at these
points were said to be good, the
market strong, and stated to be
steady, though it is of course uncer-
tain how long this price will hold, yet
shippers are advising the handling OF
only limited amount of any perish
able product, owing to the strike
condition being practically unchang-
ed, though the railroads are claiming
that the majority of the men are
returning to their work.
There was a large crop of sweet
potatoes grown in the county this
year-as splendid specimens of the
delicious and famous Nancy Hall as
were ever marketed, but the bulk o1
the county crop has already beer
disposed of. In some instances, oW'
ing to the wet weather in which il
was necessary to dig the tubers last
fall, it being considered wisdom tt
release the stock. These brough
an ordinary good price, $1.40 tx
$1.75 mostly. W. H. Clogs is abou
the only one of the large growers
who has held onto his crop. He ha
some eight or ten thousand bushels
which he has begun this week t.
release at the advanced price O.
| $3.50.

OFFERED TO TEACHERS

Free use of the Memphis B. of R.

county and Memphis teachers. The
teachers have been meeting at the
Shelby county court house, but the
railroad men, who have known the
pinch of less pay than they are worth
are with the teachers in their fight for
higher pay. Besides their moral
support the trainmen are willing to
let teachers use their hall as meet
ing place. And there will be- no
charge to the pedaggues, either.
