The farmer who will have the

who conies neurest to raising all

The Marion County Patriot hits
the nail on the head when it
says: A business man wanted to
know a few days ago why we
do not boom Buena Vista as a
cotton market, and why wo were
not. pulling to bring all the cot¬
ton possible to the town. To
whoso interest is it that cotton
should be brought to this market?
Is it. not. to the interest of every
merchant in town more than it is
to us? Is it. not. primarily to
the interest of the warehousemen
who get the fees for weighing
and storing cotton? Our answer
to t.he business man can be ex¬
pressed iu a few plain facts. Look
over the columns of the Patriot
and see how many advertise¬
ments you can tin <1 from the bnsi
ness men of Buena Vista. Look
over it again and see how lunuv
advertisements you can find from
the cotton warehousemen of the
town. Every country paper that
comet to this office is tilled v. it h
advertisements of the business
men and warehousemen of their
respective towns {except the Ad-
vanee, Pro. Christopher.— Kd.J
in some instances they reach
