VALUE OF COTTON
CROP INCREASES
YazOO County Production Worth
S1,S4S,6OO More Despite
Smaller Amount.

Accepting the figures recently COM
piled by Mr. L. l.. Turner, editor of
the Belzoni Banner, relative to the
comparative prices paid for cotton
last year and this year, Yazoo- coun-
ty's cotton crop to December 13, de-
spite the fact that a shortage was
SHOWN of 5,503 bales, is worth ST.
S4S, 500 more than the crop last
year. Mr.. Turner's figures are bas-
ed on an average price for cotton last
year of 80 cents per pound, and an
average price this year Of so cents
pound. In arriving at these ave-
rage prices he consulted a number of
the cotton men of the BelZoni terri
tory who named the prices for him.
Yazoo County last year to Decem-
Der 13 produced 1880 bales of cot
ton. This is estimated at 500 pounds
per bale. The same weight is given
the 1881 bales of cotton produced
this year to December 13. At 80
;ents a pound last years cotton was
worth $3,499,500 and at SO cents
pound this years cotton Is worth
$5,384,100. The difference in value
is in favor of this years production.
In this estimation, however, no al
lowance is made for the very ma
Ierial increase in the price paid for
cotton seed, and this increase would
add to the value of this years crop
over that of last year for both Yazoc
ind Humphreys county.
The Humphreys County estimate IL
BASED on the production ginned prior
o December /. 1t shows 1888 bales
1f cotton this year as compared to
1879 bales ginned last year, and
the surplus money value this year

Coahoma County La
Dor Leaving State

Coahoma County reports a general
unrest among its negro laborers evil
denced both in the negroes moving
about from one plantation to anoth-
er and in their leaving the State.
Despite the fact that the negroes are
leaving behind them in the YaZoo-
mississippi Delta section a land pre-
eminentIy a cotton country and the
land OF their own birth and train
ing it is said that in one day during
-Inls season Of contracting TOR labor
o0 persons departed for Arkansas.
Louisiana is another state said to be
iaVUIeu by the movers One Sunday,
more recent than the day on which
the 80 persons left, seven car loads
Of household goods belonging to col
oi ieu families were loaded and ship
pea Irom Clarksdale.
in the lower section of the Yazoo-
mississippi Delta there has not been
noticed a definite tendency of the
LABOR to remove to other states, but
there has been noticed an unrest evil
denced by the moving of the labor
from one plantation to another, and
IN the great amount of travel among
the coiored. All have money. This
fact mas been clearly demonstrated
in the inability of those who have
work to be done to secure laborers
and in the buying they did at Christ
mas time.-Yazoo Sentinel.

CLUBS FOR THE FARM BOYS
Boys Agricultural Clubs to be Or.
ganized SOOn-County Agent
and Supt, to Push It,

During the past two school years
boys agricultural club work has been
dragging along slowly in Lincoln
county. No one except few inter-
ested teachers and the county agent
tried to help the work along. Boys
who were interested and anxious to
work soon fell by the wayside be-
cause they had no one to lead them.
Boys, we now have a leader and 1t
is UP to us to get right into the work
and make it a success. Our new
superintendent of Education, Mr.. L.
Russell Ellzey, is a real leader. His
whole heart and life are for the de-
velopment of schools, club work and
Lincoln county as whole. Let's
join the agricultural club, get into
the kind of farm work we like most
and make Lincoln county's Club
work rank with the best in the south
ern states.
In January and February Mr.. ELL
zey and are going to visit as many
schools together as we can. During
our visit to your school we will dis
cuss club work and try to give you
just the information beginner in
club work will need. While you are
waiting for us to visit your school.
be thinking the matter over, talk it
over with your father and mother
and when we ask you to join the
club you will not have to wait and
decide.
|. Mr.. .Ellzey and are anxious to get
boys who really want to work to join
the agricultural club. We had rath-
er have SO boys who mean business
and who are going to make a success
than to have 500 boys whe merely
want to become club members and
have good time. 1t requires study
and work to make a success at any
thing. The club boy who studies,
works and keeps correct records of
his work is the boy who will work
his way easily through college or
work his way to success in life.
Be ready to join the agricultural
club and help to make club work a
success at all times.
Henry Legett, Co. Agent.

osyka Mayors Car Hit by Train.

Osyka, Miss, Jan. 5.-Fate played
Mayor Howard Coumbe mean trick
Sunday. In this instance it was rep
resented by the northbound Panama
Limited, which struck the touring car
of Mayor Coumbe at the crossing OF
Amite street in the center of town
hurled it some distance against the
side of the station building and de-
molished it.
Mayor Coumbe and Albert HALEY,
the city clerk, had just returned to
town from a ride. In crossing the
railroad the car got out of order and
the two occupants got out and tried
to push 1t across the track. While
thus engaged the fast train came in
to view and although efforts were
made to signal it, the train, which
passes her without stopping, crash
ed into the car. Many people on the
streets at the time saw the accident
but no one was injured.

MAYOR WARNS SAB
BATH VIOLATORS
Ordinance Against Keeping OPP.
en- on Sunday Still in Eff
feet, Says Mayor.
To The People of Brookhaven: :

To The People of Brookhaven:-
Complaints by representative citi-
zens of the city of BrookhaVen have
been filed with me charging certain
merchants store and shop keepers
with violation of the City Ordinance
prohibiting keeping open store for
the sale of wares, merchandise, goods
and chattels on Sunday. In view OF
the fact that violations of said Or
dinance have been treated with much
indulgence by the municipal authori-
ties, due in a measure, perhaps, to
wartime conditions of the recent past
l deem it expedient and proper, un-
der the circumstances, before per-
mitting any prosecutions to be filed
under that Ordinance, to publish no
tice, calling attention of all to the
scope and provisions of the Sunday
Ordinance.
l therefore hand to the City Print
er, for republication, Sec. 2 of an
Ordinance adopted July Z, 1904.
This Ordinance stands without
modification or amendment, and il
may be that present day conditions
would justify some changes or modi-
tications in the ordinance, and in or
der that parties at interest may have
an opportunity to present the mat
ter to the Board of Aldermen, at a
regular meeting; ! take this method
of announcing that whatever may
remain OF the written law upon the
City Ordinance books, on and after
the 4th day of February, 1920,
shall attempt, forcibly and impartial
Iy to enforce.

FARM NETS $4,000
TO BANK DEPOSTTORS
Assignee COhn Makes Deal That
Insures Tenth Dividend in
Ninety Days.

On Wednesday, Jan. Z, Mr.. Louis
Cohn, Assignee, Commercial Bank
& Trust Co., sold lands to Messrs. By
ron Day and Percy Buie, well-known
farmers, for the sum of $4,000,
cash.
This sale insures the depositors of
the institution the full one hundred
per cent.
Mr.. Cohn expects to pay out the
tenth ten percent dividend within
ninety days.
Mr.. Cohn has worked untiringly
in the interest of the patrons of the
closed Bank and we presume that ev-
en- the depositors themselves are not
more gratified at the successful out
come OIL his administration as as
signee than is Mr.. Cohn himself.
