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. itcsolutiouH adopted by the Cautou Baptist Church on the Death of Mrs, Ella Galt.

"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 rons to be importuned or annoyed in any way. Such truthfulness, honesty and courtesy,combined with such true- great ness, of course, wins everywhere, and will do so here, to the tune ot thousands. h.ARIEt 1A POSTALS. Marietta, Ga.
