The south claims to raise the fins est cotton in the world, and its "good uplands” bring better prices than the fleecy produot of any other land. And yet it cannot be denied that southern cotton it a shorter staple than that ot many other countries that we have distanced as]a producer. Of course ouraea island cotton is the finest raised and with the longest staple, averaging 2.20 inches. The cotton grown on the Paoifio islands runs from 1.65' to 1.88 inohes; that from Venezuela!, 1.75 inohes; that from the Peruvian coast and Egypt, 1.50; that from the Greek islands, 1.85; Bra zilian and West Indies, 1.15 to 2.85; Orleans, our best grade, 1.10; Up lands, 1; and Texas cotton, ,95, while the Indian grades run from* .90 to Tribune.

Fowler’s, Mr. John Jackson departed this life. He had been a conservative member of the M. E. church ever since hit boyhood, and all who ever chanoed to hear him pray have truly said they were deeply impressed; and hit life from beginning to end was spotless and holy. The firm of Epps Pro’s, has dis solved, but the business will be car ried on by one of the firm, W P Epps, and the junior partner, Tom Epps, will go to Atlanta, and bum. until Christmas, and theneome home to take a private conversation with somebody about his own future hap piness. From present indications there will not be a grain of wheat nor oats out side of the earth when ehriatmaa comes. There was a grand wedding booked for to-morrow night, but then hat been a bot made and so every body will stay at their own borne. Our community were saddened at the death of Mr. J A Browning, and we know hit equal it not to be bad.
