Our Cotton Trtnlo
The cotton trade of t unton is stm lil,
increasing, and tliis is due mainly to the
promptness, stability and energy of mu
coit n buyers. Canton as a cotton mar
ket for this and the counties adjoining
cun be of'uo .small importance, for havi ig
railroad connection tw Atlanta and con
sequent ly cheap transportation, our
merchants can naturally compete in pri
cos with other markets. Our merchants
pay the b'st prices, permit good and jus
weigh'? mid allow no one to go away
dissatisfied with having sold ther cotton
here. \V r e look for and expect Canton to
soon lniild up and r< double her futilities
to make this one of the h st cotton mar
kets in thi* upper country Our mercli mis
farmer b iends and all should appreciate
un 1 encourage our railroad, for it is the
building up of Canton and the county
generally. Were it not for the railroad
and its tr.m-poitation advantages cotton
would be at hardly no price and our
e*unty would not nave the pride she now
has. Our county lias in the last few
years been greatly improved, Canton al
most wholly built, and her trade brought
where the consumer cun buy us cheap,
and the producer can sell as high as in
other markets. Canton only bought last
year about 2,000 bales, but this season
we expict to receive o\'r 5,000 bales.
With combined energies, ull pushing in
(he same direction, Canton ought to push
10,000 bales very close. We can’t ex
pect to go below 5,000 unless the crop
makes almost a failure.

"The absi neo of all gambling schemes
was a noticeable feature,” says the Has
tings (Neb.) Jourua’, which is due to the
fact that the Messrs. Sells rent no privi
leges, manage their vast show in person,
and demand that the authorities shall do
their duty in protecting the public from
swindlers. To cap flic sheaf, they per
mit. no peddling of any kind within
their tents, and do not suffer their pat
