Early county has already passed
the ginning mark of 1923. Prior to
September 16th there had been 4817
bales of cotton ginned in Early coun
ty from the 1924 crop, as compared
with some few 7 over 4200 for the
entire 1923 crop. There has been
a great deal of rain during the past
two w'eeks, and the October report
will not show a great deal of differ
ence from the September 16th re
port. The present crop is very
nearly gathered and the final report
is not expected to show a yield very
much in excess of 6,000 bales.

was a descendant of the w 7 ell known
Perry family, pioneer settlers in this
section, and was a first cousin of
the mother of (he writer. She lived
to the ripe old age of 82 years and
never faltered on the way as she
sought to serve the Master in whom
she long years ago placed her trust.
She hail been bed-ridden for some
months previous to her death, but
she endured her sufferings to the
end as a faithful soldier of the
cross, murmuring not at the ways
of Providence. She fought the good
fight. Her loving daughter, Mrs. W.
J. Kidd, left her own home and
waited tenderly at the bedside of
the dear mother for many weary
months. May the loving Heavenly
Father reward her for her unselfish
devotion to the suffering mother.

Why do presidents, statesmen and
men of means have their clothes

of the garment, bu in the comfort it
gives the wearer.
The big modern wholesale plants
of the Famous A Nash Co. have
brought fine quality made-to-measure
clothes right down within reach of
every man’s pocketbook.
Be individual, get that feeling of
confidence in yourself, in business and
social cativities —have your clothes
made to measure from the Golden
Rule line—A. NASH CO., Cincinnati.
