Ginning at Old Prices.

Mr.. J. G.. Afford announces in
his large advertisement this week
that he will gin for the farmers at
the same price as last season, not
withstanding the increase in the
cost of coal and other costs of GIN
ming. He has reached this deci-
sion not to increase the price of
ginning this season because of the
very low price of seed and the drop
in the price of cotton.

THE BIGGEST INDUSTRY
 IN THE SOUTH

Cotton k the biggest and most i'm portant product of the South-the sta pie crop, the thing that brings more money into the cotton producing states than any other The 1919 crop in Texas was estimated at two million seven hundred thousand bales. worth approx imately four hundred and five million dollars. The crop of Texas and Louis jana together was worth four hundred and fifty million dollars.
 The handling and financing of this tremendous business involves a great deal of specialized work classifying and stapling every bale. Samples from each bale must be braided several times during the journey of the cotton from the farmers field to the factory. This work requires trained men, The de- mand for such men is always urgent. The ability to grade cotton is essential for the local buyer, employees of bond cd warehouses and congresses, repre- Sentatives of northern factories. cot ton brokers, and ill many other branch es of the industry. The farmer himself ought, in protection of his own inter- ests. to be able to grade cotton. He is completely at the mercy of the buyer It is self-eyident that man. in order to get full value for what he has to sell, ought to know what he is selling

on each succeeding visit it pleased him
to note the change for the better in
the child Her devotion to her teach
err was something pathetic. This was
the period when JudsOn Marsh
changed his course of life. A time too
when the merest passing word with
Miss Revere seemed to cause him to
lift his head higher, and the influence
of a worthy resolve was noticeable
in his brOnzed, impressive face.
1t was about month before Christ
mas when the settlement was visited
by Marsh on horseback. There was
something about him that reminded of
his old time brisknesS and fOrcible,
imperative ways. In turn he visited
twenty of the leading men and pre-
scented to each his proposition. Time
was when anything Marsh suggested
was carried out from motives of policy.
In the present mstaee he found will

"Oh, I'll go to the city and attend

answered Marsh readily. Il was
something of a player myself years
ago. Now then, this is to be a secret
until Christmas"
That was agreed upon. Also it was
ARRANGED so that on Christmas Eve
the scholars gave a concert in honor
of their devoted teacher. The piano

Gladys, and broke down from emo

him a better man.
