remark the other day that Mayor M. J.

that would be an honor to any county.

ness man who feels any interest iu his

VFe Told Yon So
Just before going to press Mr. W. A.
McCalman brought us in an advertise¬
ment, stating to the farmers that he has
made arrangments to buy their cotton.
We think other merchants ought to make
similar arrangements. The farmers like
to carry their cotton where there are at
least two buyers. Wouldn’t Mr. R.E. Love¬
less make it lively for Mr. McCalman?
What say you, Gene?

Wo feel highly elated over the expres
sions of our country friends in regard to
Buchanan. They seem to think that
Buchanan is going to get a move on her¬
self. They say they feel interested it.
their county town, and desire to help
build her up if the business men will of¬
fer any inducements. We will say to our
country friends that the business men of
Buchanan are well aware that now is the
time for them to strike for Buchanan,
and we have recently conversed with a
number of them who say they’ro willing tc
do as good a part by their country friends
as is in their power to do. We learn that
arrangements are being perfected to buy
ail the cotton that may bebroghthere this
fall, and we venture to say that the top
of the market will, be paid in every in¬
stance. There is no reason why Buchan¬
an shouldn't prosper, situated as she is
in the center of a prosperous and grow¬
ing county.
