Mr. Editor:—Statements have been made at some shipping points of the falling off in cotton receipts, the reason assigned being the high price of j'ute bagging, brought about by the bagging trust, and the stand taken against it by the Farmers’ Alliance. There is quite ' a The merchants are busy and cheerful. Mrs. J. D. Moreland and Master Robert Jones are at home again, after a three weeks’ sojourn at the North. Rev. J. R. Parker is away this week on a visit to his father in Hart county. Mr. Stiles Bradley, pf Gridin, is on a visit to his numerous friends here. The Juvenile Missionary Society is arranging for an entertainment, which a falling off in receipts at this place, j will take place in a week or so. compared with the same period in 1SS7. Up to September 26th, 1887, there had been shipped 650 bales. For the same time this month only 200 bales have been shipped; but we attribute the falling off largely to natural causes. The rains have been almost unprece dented, both as regards frequency and quantity, which has retarded the open ing of the crop as well as the picking, and much that has been gathered is in a damaged condition. None of the Al liance farmers in our section, so far as we know, are holding their cotton back on account of the high price of bagging and ties, though there may be some. Still, if there be those who are pursu ing this course, we think'it bad policy. At the present price of cotton the bag ging and ties would about pay for them selves; and to hold cotton, in the seed or in bales, there will be a certain loss by shrinkage in weight, (and possibly in price,) and the sequel might prove a greater loss than the difference m the price of gagging. Besides, if the cot- Miss Nona Cotter, of La Grange, will be the guest of Mrs. J. F. Lovejoy this week. Mrs. Sadler is on a visit to friends and relatives at Chattanooga. Mrs. Smith, who has been quite sick for some time, is convalescent. Mr. Willie Post and Mr. Baker will leave in a week or two for Oxford, where they will enter Emory College. Sept. 27th. P. A. Puckett’s. Mr. Editor;—Miss Kate Craig, from Hogansville, visited Miss Pauline Me- Iver this week, but was taken sick and returned to her home Monday evening. We hope her attack will not result se- rioesly and that she will come again. J. P. Camp relates the following : “While on the way to see ‘my folks’ last Sunday 1 passed by a mud hole in the road, and a frog jumped into my lap, while sitting in my buggy, and then jumped to the ground.” Mr. R. A. Hearn was forced to lose ton is wrapped up in other and Tighter J rau ^ e its leg broken. ! Miss Grace Aikin, from Lawrenceville, visited Miss Alice Martin this week, en ditional ties are used—that is, eight or nine to the bale—the exporter or man ufacturer might raise serious objection to handling it, judging from a report recently published by the New York Cotton Exchange. While we believe the bagging trust, and all other trusts, outrageous and should not be tolerate* 1, yet we would submit to it for the pres ent, hoping and believing that an ef fectual remedy may be found and ap plied in the near future. Quite an excitement was produced among the negro population in our vi cinity last week. The wife of Henry Malone, colored, died during the night very suddenly, creating suspicions of foul play. The coroner was summoHed, an inquest held, and a post mortem ex amination had, but no evidence was found that she died from other than natural causes. According to announcement “Betsy Hamilton” filled her engagement here last Friday night. Her backwoods re hearsals were well rendered and much appreciated by the large audience in attendance. The addition of a first-class passen- train on the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama railroad meets with general favor. The schedule just suits our people, who can go to Newnan, transact their business and return the same day. If they desire they can make the round trip to Atlanta. Mr. Manning, the engineer of the Senoia Ginnery, while doing some work about his engine with a monkey- wrench, allowed it to slip out of his hand. It lodged in some way on the fly-wheel, which, in its rapid revolu tions, carried the tool over and struck him on top of the head, inflicting a very painful wound. He was laid up for a few days, but we are glad to see him out again. Mr. S. J. Rauuer, of St. Petersburg, member of the imperial household of Russia, is on a prospecting tour in this vicinity, examining the cotton, the gin neries, and the packing process. The Czar proposes to engage in cotton cul ture on some of his vast possessions in Central Asia. route for LaGrange to enter school. Miss Emmie Hindsinan has returned from a visit to Griffin. Misses Maud Scroggin, Ada May Broom and Jimmie Lou Thompson, all of Newnan. visited Miss Glenn Camp this week. Dr. L. B. Webb, from Corinth, visit ed his father this week. Mr. E. C. Cureton, Miss Sallie Rey nolds, and Misses Glenn and Lou Camp deserve great credit for the success ot their entertainment last Friday even ing. The amount realized was some thing over 830.00. Quite a large crowd came down from Newnan, and a few from Turin. Rev. J. R. Parker and wife, from Grantville, were present. Am sorry that I cannot give ti e names of all the visitors. Mr. II. W. Culpepper, from Pratt’s Mines, near Birmingham, is in town on a prospecting tour. Mr. T. O. Dunn, who has been very sick with typhoid fever, is convales cent. Tickets are on sale for the silk quilt held by the Ladies’ Church and Aid Society. They propose to have a gath ering at some future time and count the tickets that have been sold, and the person holding the largest number ot tickets at the time they quit selling will get the quilt. We expect a lively time when it is soid. Another enterprise for Puckett’s. The Southern Cotton Seed Oil Com pany, of Atlanta, is going to build a house here and pay factory prices for the cotton seed, rightathome. TheGin- ning Company will act as their agent and buy seed for them. Mr. B. M. Couch made a business trip to LaGrange this week. Cotton pickers are in demand. The weather is all we could ask for now, and the fleecy staple is showing itself as fast as possible. Zubetus. Sept. 20th. Sharpsburg.
