Widening the road leading from,
Lakeland to Mulberry, from the Hol-
lingsworth turn to Augenbaugh's IS
corner; making the asphalt fifteer
feet in width instead Of nine feet. as
at present.
All these things are desirable i'm
provements, but the main object in
voting for the bond issue is to secure
the direct through road to the Lake
county line. If the issue carries, anu
the road is built as planed to Fox
town, the state will stand half the
expense Of good road of about four
miles which will connect with the
present Auburndale-Lake county road
giving us direct trunk line north
moreover, the state will take over the
maintenance Of the road from Lake,
land to the intersection noted, as a
state raid road.
Citizens Of Lakeland should not
let this opportunity go by to get ma
terial aid from the state in providing
a road which has long been consider,
one of the most desirable and valu.
able that could enter Lakeland, as It
would insure vast amount of
through travel which at present goes
over other and less direct routes.
Every taxpayer of Lakeland should
take sufficient time from his business
tomorrow to give attention to the well
fare Of Lakeland by going to the polls
and voting for the bonds.

GROWTH OF TIPPING

1t is announced in newspaper dis
patches that the 1920 census will show
that 100000 persons in the United
States depend in whole or in part
upon tips for their compensation
This is a gain of more than 10000
over 1910, and illustrates strikingly
the growth of the tipping custom, af-
ter allowing for normal increase in
population.
Tipping has spread to such an ex-
tent that a list Of all those who will
accept tips would be too long for the
space that can be given in this issue.
A detailed analysis will be given later.

COTTON PROBABLE
MARION CROP
Erection of Cotton Gin Pro-
posed at Jasper, Provid-
ed Acreage Is Sc
cured.

Cotton seems to be future
crop in Marion, judging from the
impetus being given it by farm
ers, and it is believed it will be
much more successful than wheat
raising. Farmers unite in saw
ing that S2.25 wheat is grown at
loss in Marion, but cotton
growing as above the boil weavil
danger, is being considered with
interest.
There were several cotton
patches in the county last year,
and one farmer, William Lay, OF
Rankin's Cove, reports $500
gross from eight acres Of red
land, too poor almost to raise a
row on. He used 300 pounds of
acid phosphate to the acre, Sc
cured seven bales of cotton, and
his expense was $500. leaving
him a net gain for the poor land
of $1,000.
The nearest gin is at Bridge
port, Ala, and the long haul to a
gin has so far deferred farmers
from growing cotton, but this in
convenience will be remedied in
the coming season, provided the
farmers of Marion will guaran-
tee crop. Messrs. Fred Nc
Clendon, of Scottsboro, Ala, and
Chas. Ridley, of Mt. Carmel,
Ala, have purchased the fine
farm of H. M. Westmoreland,
lying in North Jasper. These
gentleman announce that If suf-
ficient acreage can be guaranteed
that thoy will locate a gin and
baler in Jasper, and to this end
are now in negotiations with W.
H. Simpson for his warehouse,
now used for the storage of grain.
Jasper business men are taking
up the matter, and in all proba-
bility gin will be in operation in
Jasper next winter. -. .-.
