 He stepped a little closer to her and placed a protective hand below her elbow. No hint of familiarity was Tn the gesture-only tremendous klndnness and care. And it seemed to Mary as though her whole being was enveloped m wave of utter happiness that thrllleo her through and through.

 There was sound of running foot steps on the platform. The conductor swung open the door of the car, thrust ing in very pretty. petulant, fair haired girl. She sank down on the seat opposite Mary. and the latter recognized at once Eve Rochester, the ward of Car rington Bellairs.
 Mary was about to speak to her when Eve bounced up towards the window with small excited scream

COOSA Co..slTY COTTON
 CROP LAST YEAR MADE
 TENTH OF BALE TO ACRE

Rockford. March 22.- Special r According to an announcement made recently by S.4 M Day, county 1arm d m nstra tor, there were 500 bales of cotton raised on 5000 acres in this county last year. The average per acre was only one-tenth of a bale showing the effects of the boil weevil.
 According to present estimates al least 75 per cent of the above amount is now in the hands of the farmers which means heavy loss to the large majority, because of the prevailing low markets. Many of the farmers are unablt to secure necessary funds for purchasing their usual amount of commercial fertilizer anad are plan- ming to use a much lesser amount this year than is their custom.
 With the last two days of excellent weather, many of the farmers are planting their early corn crop. all though they are being encouraged very little by prospects.

the agent, although the general re.
cords show at a glance that there has

Just what is the reason for this in
