The fee allowed for this signature is SI.OO All deputies have been notified to be on the lookout for cars and trucks ■ not having the new tag and it is estimated that around 500 cases will be ready and presented to the Sept ember grand jury for violation of this law.

PEDIGREED SALSBURY Cotton Planting Seed For Heavy Production and Early Maturity * A NEW VARIETY SALSBURY IS DISTINCT . SALSBURY is a distinct variety—the result of eight year’s plant breeding by Professor J. W. Fox and Mr. E. C. Ewing, the experts of the Delta and Pine Land Co. at Scott Miss. Commencing with an extra-early heavy-fruiting strain of Wannamaker-Cleveland, these men have worked untiringly year after year selecting and cross-breading, keeping the best and eliminating the underesirable, until they produced SALSBURY, which we believe to be a per feet cotton. It has all the disirable qualities of an early big-boll short cotton; still, is worth a good premium in any market. FOR FUTHER PARTICULARS WRITE OR SEE W. L.
