Almand died last Sunday, at Marianao Cuba, . a small village about nine miles from Havana. He had been at work at Dry Tortugas Fla. for some months, but about three weeks ago in com¬ pany with Mesrs. John Gleaton, Charlie Almand and Jim McElva ny went to Cuba. While prospecting there he con¬ tracted that dread scourge, Yel¬ low Fever and lived only a few days* Mr. J. S. Gleaton wired Sunday the fact that both Mr. Al¬ mand and Mr. MoElvany were sick, but receiving the best attention. On Monday following: Mr. Al mands father, Mr. Ben Almand, received a Cablegram that he was dead and buried. It was quite a shock to the fam¬ ily, and for awhile Mr. Almand, the father, was almost prostrated. Death is always a sad messenger, but doubly sad under circumstan¬ ces like these. We extend to the bereaved fam¬ ily our heartfelt sympathies. Working Night and Day The busiest and mightiest little thiDg that ever was made is Dr, King’s New Life Pills.

Altogether he shows tbe moat favorable symptons. He will certainly be giving us a sur¬ prise if he takes a had turn. The doctors (two from Havana and one here) says he has yellow fever but in a very mild form, Rufe Almand had it in one of the strongest forms. You have alrea dv heard of Rufe by telegraph. In about two hours (this is at 6 A. M.) the poor fellow will be bu ried. We have done all we thought best for him, but it did not avail. He 8uffered g reafcl Y but bore lfc without much complaint. Both of the hoys must have go - ten then- sickness m Ha^ama They did not leave the city as soon as Charlie and 1 did. I will continue to let yon know daily of Jim s condition. Yours truly, John S.

(cO^YWOHTto) KDMtRAL W. T. SAMPSON CktN'U TJTIHUaH LIC LIKE ROUNDLAP BALES. Opinions of Cotton Farmers and Ginners after a Season's Experiencs. The attitude of cotton gnmorsand far mors t< wards the Roundlap cotton bale of the American Cotton Company, after a season’s test of the machine, is illustra¬ ted by a letter received recently by the editor of the Manufacturers’ Record, Baltimore, as fellows: Editor Manufacturers' Record; Some time ago you requested us to give you : nr opinion of the American Cotton Cicylindrical press. At that time we \v r< unable to give our views correctly, owing o the short time we had operated the pr s. Now unquestionably that the ginning season that cl !, we can particular, say the pn -ss is a success in every not only from a ginner’s standpoint, but as practical farmers. The results from sale of our cotton have been eminently fi.tr Tartorv and much beyond what we had anticipated. The advantages to pi.. and open iter are so many that it would 1 ake up too much space to enumer¬ ate them. It is sufficient to say that no one who has baled their cotton on this press would now or hereafter patronize Their any other. And why should they V ginning charges are less than the square press people charge, ami they receive Irom one-quarter to one-half cent per pound more than they could get in the square Dale. There is no question about the round bale being here to stay, and we wonld advise the ginnten, especially those who are near a railroad, to get in tl swim at once and exemplify tho old adage of the earlv bird getting the worm. Th v will not only benefit then) selvB, but their friends, the farmers, will get (ho cream t.iat the middlemen, the ootnuiis kF merchants, havr been enjoying and getting rich upon. In conclusion, to con dens-- the advantages, will say that the bate is fireproof, waterproof, dustproof, an-' proof that -it is a labor-saving and mono' making bale to the iarmer. Morris <te Morex.
