They I aro very hopeful for the future. Several told us that they had taken { rides out in the country to inspect j crops, and others had the most en couraging reports from customers jand parties in whom they had cnfidence. The general opinion is that if farmers continuo their fight against the weevil for three more weeks a surprisingly good cotton crop is assured. Two of our lead ing merchants stated that they were so encouraged over the out look for a fall* and winter trade that they had increased their or ders. The consencus of opinion Is tnat Athens will, beginning next fall, have the best cash trade Its merchants have ever known. ington cheese factory will start up on Wednesday of this week, with MR. PATTERSON of the whole sale house of Canning A* Patterson says their business is most satis factory and farmers who visit them are hopeful and encouragod. Ho has seen twenty bales of cotton sell in Athens for only $20<h while you could hardly give away Inferior grades. At the present price takes less than two bale* to bring the grower $200. So for one-fifth of a pre-boll weevil crop the fann er will receive as much cash ns he once did for a bumper crop, and in those days he had to pay opt that cotton on debts, but this year most farihers will have that money to spend. I A GENTLEMAN who has made a study of the Athens cotton busl- t ness says that not a farmer who ' stored his cotton In one of our warehouses has ever lost a dollar by failure of this factor. There is sometimes delay In adjusting mat ters before’ the court, hut tho farmer Is always given his cotton after deducting for nny advances made him. He says those who had cotton stored with Barrett & Co. need not ha'’« any fear o p lowin' their bales. The courts will -<urn over their cotton to them. $45.09 Pay No Money Down F _ your old stove in.
