May Reach Ten Cents.
It looks now as if cotton will reach
the ten cents notch before the season
is over. It has climbed from six and
a half 10 niue cents and stil1 bas aD
upward tendency. But this should be
“o check to gram sowing, because .t is
n0 a88urance that the price will be
more than the starting figures of this
season next fall. More grain and less
cotton is what has made prices go up
this year, and they are the only guar
antee of high prices next year.

The rapid increase in the number of

—Mrs. J. R. Armistead has returned

there works a little less than a hundred
employes, large general stores, mills

place, and filled with the best of citi
zeus.
—Solomon says a good name is bet
ter than precious ointment, but then
Solomon was an old fogy and didn t
know the present order of things. The
modern idea with some seems to be let
the good name go, so I can by any
means, fair or foul, avoid meeting rnj

—The taxes are coming in slowly, so
says County and the School Commissioner Cht*

who is anxious for his long de¬

for meeting the obligations due the
teachers by the State. The rental of
the State road comes into the State
