uates.

and common sense.

COTTON BRINGS GOOD PRICE
Farmers Are Disposing of the
Staple in Small Lots.
Cotton, the King of Dixie, is
bringing a higher price than it has
since the drop early last fall. The
prevailing price in Covington to¬
day is 84. J he market is strong
and active and many there are who
believe that the farmers will rea¬
lize 10 cents before another crop
is raised;
Several lots of cotton were sold
here last week, the largest lots be¬
ing sold by the farmers in and
around Starrsville, which aumunt
ed to something like 100 bales.
One reason for the rapid advance
iu the price of the staple is due to
the rains which have fallen for a
fortnight over the cotton belt, and
the decrease in cotton acreage and
fertilizers by the farmers. These
causes have contributed largely to
the advance in price.

TO GIVE VETS A GREAT TIME.
Louisville Making Arrangements
for Greatest of All Reunions.
The heroes of the south, the men
who followed Lee and Jackson from
Bull Run to Appomattox; the sol¬
diers who fought in rags and w ith¬
out shoes while hunger plainly
marked their tottering steps as
they charged or retreated, are look
ing toward Louisville with happy
smiles as they contemplate the
coming reunion next mouth.
The Kentucky metropolis, whose
sympathies were with the south¬
land from the fall of Fort Sumter
to the surrender of Kirby Smith on
the Rio grande, are making exten¬
sive and liberal preparations for
the gathering of ’05.
It is the leading and most influ¬
ential men of the city who compose
the committees arranging for the
reception and the entertainment of
the visiting veteraus. For weeks
past these men have given unspai*
ingly of their time to make the
coming reunion the most delight¬
ful and successful in the history of
the United Confederate Veteraus
annual gatherings. A reunion was
held in Louisville several yeurs ago
but it was an incessant rain which
greeted the Confederate Veterans
and which gave thorn a goodbye.
Louisville was not satisfied with
that reunion, and at every gather¬
ing since her people have been
trying to secure the reunion anoth¬
er time “just to show the boys
who wore the grey what we can do
when the sun is shining.’’
Every Confederate Veteran camp
in the country, and there are 1,535
of these camps scattered in thirty
five states of the union, has been
communicated with directly and
the committees have been enabled
to ascertain approximately the
number of veterans who will at¬
tend the coming reuuiou. The
committees have also secured from
the same soarees something like a
relative idea of the number of visi¬
tors outside of the veterans, the
Sons of Veterans and the Daugh¬
ters of the Confederacy, who will
be present

The prizes given by the U. D.
C’s. to the winning pupils in the
Public school were delivered on

propriate manner by Col. James G.
Lester.
