Lexington is to become some cot
ton center and there is no reason why
everybody should not bring their cot
ton to Lexington this fall. We have
buyers representing some Of the best
companies of Memphis and Nashville,
and the old buyers that have been

our farmers will bring their cotton to
Lexington and try our markets before
selling.
Mrs. Tommie Gibson Lancaster, of
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and daugh-

years previous to eighteen months
ago, during which he had little hope
of the complete recovery which has
come to him. 1t is good to have folks
of ours go out into the great world.
