At the close of the Civil War cotton sold at 50c. a pound in gold. Even now, with less cotton produced, prices would be much higher, and farmers could devote a larger acreage to food and forage crops—the South’s great est need, and for which we are paying exhorbitant prices. The grain and hog-raisers of the West have the cot- ton-raisers of the South by the throat, and will continue their grip until we learn more sense. In view of the high price of corn, meat and flour, and the probability of lower prices for cotton next fall, we are glad to note that the i farmers of this section are planting | more corn than usual. Every farmer should raise his home supplies, and j thus be independent of the speculators, j There is not a family in Coweta that Little Florence, adopted daughter of 1 Mr. C. I. Stamps and family.

His father had preceded him to the grave only a few short months, thus leaving Mrs. Bean a widow indeed—no son and no hus band. Several sisters are left to mourn his departure.

Deceased was a mem ber of the Methodist church at Luther ville.

On Thursday night death ended his suffer ings, and Friday afternoon the precious form was borne to Prospect church. Words of tender consolation to the be reaved were spoken by the pastor, sweet songs carried comfort to their hearts, ere the little white casket was hidden from their sight. May this sore trial be blessed to the eternal good of j his home at Rome, the sorrowing young parents. | Mr. and Mrs. T. F.
