Tynor, (col.) Hamilton 1.00 Hold Your Cotton. \r _ In our humble opinion it is the highth of folly for the farmer to haul his cotton to market and sell it at prevailing prices. j h : short crop last year caused the price to leap skyward lato in the win¬ ter and early this spring, and toe present crop, in all probability, is shorter than last, therefore, the price is obliged to go up. Hold your cot¬ ton, ’til the price reaches the “teens.” Notice I will be in Chipley to do Dental work Monday and Tuesday next week. B, Ii.

COTTON DAY AT STATE FAIR Atlanta, Ga., October 10.—Tho division, particularly of the Cotton Association, is tak¬ a deep and active interest in “Cot Day" at the State Fair in Atlan¬ which will be Wedaenday, Oct 17. President M. I* Johnson, of the Georgia division, calls attention to toe fact that this will be a day of interest and importance to every cotton grow¬ er in Georgia. The speakers on that occasion will Hon. Harvie Jenin 1 , president of the Southern Cotton A »»«*•! atom; Hou S. A Witherspoon, of Miss., and Hon E, D. Smith, of K uth Carolina. These gentlemen have traveled over entire cotton bolt, and they are in position to show why and how higher prices will be secured by hold¬ ing cottou. They advise that large greoted them everywhere lari; week, At Jackson, Miss., $116,BOO was subscribed to the ware housing “Let me urge upon county officers in every county," President Johnson today, ‘to bold rallies at once arrange to have .in Atlanta the largest and best possible representa¬ The railroads have given very low rate* for that day, and the matter expense will be small. Let farmer* merchants and banker*. Let busi¬ ness men of all classes attend tin's im meeting." President Johnson further calls at¬ tention to the fact that it is impossible at present to determine the true value good cotton. “Nearly a third of the crop is not yet fully open. There is no tolling what has been the extent of the storm damage, and tho injury to the crop other cause* In fact, every in¬ dication points to the fact that prices will go way up before spring. Look out for rumor* but «ome to Atlanta on October 17 and hear the truth.. It will do you-good.";, Barnum & Bailey Going to Columbus Among the notahlo trained animal displays that will be seen with the big Barnuin & Bailey show when it ex¬ hibits in Coiambus Oot. 25, are sev¬ eral that are quite new to this country, and which are said to he a revelation in the line of intelligent animal edu¬ cation. The list embraces Thompson’s horses, which, both in harness and at lilHsrty, give a performance that sets a new standard for the displays of this character; Mile. Lordy’s dog* a com¬ pany of canine actors that are said to display most extraordinary intelli¬ gence; Winston’* sea-lions, which climb ladders turn summersaults and perform many other unusual feats; the Dohlado troupe of trained sheep. These interesting animal displays, it is announced, are interspersed thro’ a program that is notably replete with new things in acrobatic, equestrian and raid air performances. The circus company includes three hundred ar tiris from all parts of the world, and program shows a hundred acts of va¬ rious kinds. In one aerial number, in which the Viennese and Steves troupes of mid-air vaulters participate, there are twenty gymnasts in the air at one time. In a big acrobatic num¬ ber, dominated by the Florenz and Gruuatho troupes, an equal number of performers simultaneously appear in a series of douhje and tripple som mcrsaults and lofty pyramids. In one equestrian number, twelve horsemen and horsewomen appear at one time. As though these features were not sufficient to rivet public attention, the management announces a new alle¬ gorical spectacle entitled “Peace,” founded on the Kcgso-Japanese war; a revival of the old Roman hippodrome on a tremendious scale; a greatl aug¬ mented menagerie and several thrill¬ ers of a most astonishing character In one, a courageous American girl flies forty feet through the air in an inverted automobile; and in another, two daring bicyclists turn somersaults in mid-air while soaring in space on their wheel* Special excursion rates will be in effect from' this point to the big show.
