M7HCAN MURCHISON FORGETS
Gal. Duncan Murchison came to
tsvn Saturday. He had been busy on
Ike farm all week, and had to come
is town Saturday to do some necessary
shopping. 3ut when he hit Press
.and Banner Block and ran into the
^sig- crowd there he came near forgetiing
what he came for, in fact he
ttid forget, i>ut then he remembered
xvhat Mrs. Murchison would say when
ie got home without the things he
came for; which put him to thinking
and caused him ::ot to forget after
all. Col. Murchison says the next
clme he comes to town on Saturday
. -. ... afternoon ae wul come In at the up;$er
end of the square where there are
fewer people and work himself down
into the crowl gradually so that he
trant be ae frustrated by it, which
stands like common sense to Us'. -I

d SPRING'S WEEKLY
d . COTTON REPORT
g
n The market during the past week
d has been quiet with erratic fluctuai
tions and no definite ti^nd developn
ed. The Census Report issued on
e the 14th, shewing a consumption by
i- domestic mills "for the month of
d May, was about as expected and I
satisfactory from a bullish standpoint
when compared with the corresponding
month in 1919. ApZ
proximately 500,000 more spindles,
PERSHING VS MADDEN !
In his address before the gradu
ating class of the Virginia Militar
Institute at Lexington, Va., Frida
said :"General Lee was a Christia
gentleman whose character and lif
in. war and. peace Americans shoul
emulate." Further: "The worl
looks on ^Stonewall Jackson and hi
accomplishments with admiratio:
and awe." This is the opinion an
appraisement of native-born Amen'
can. Quite a difference of opinio
between "Black Jack" and th
l _
native braying jackass from 'Chica
go who a few week?" a&o, denounce
both Lee and Jackson as traitors.

Notice is hereby given that

were active during May of this year
than in May 1919.
e Bullish influences, however,
s were more than' over-come by good
e weather and reports of rapidly
n jsiackening trade in Europe, as well
as in this country. Textile mills,
e both domestic and foreign, are re''
ported curtailing their output, some
even going on part time. Stocks in
8 consuming establishments are over
1 300,000 bales greater than at the
corresponding time last year. This
probably accounts for the* poor
spot demand that has existed re*"
cently.
t It is a well known fact that pub?
lie interest in any market is based
to a large extent upon temporary
( influences knd it is a matter of record
that a decline in values ire^
quently occurs during this month
^ and that bullish enthusiasm is re^
kindled as bad reports begip to be
received through July and August.
The wise man takes advantage of
ejlow nriccs to make his purchases,
e but the public does not buy until
( after a rapid advance has occurrel.
^ History may repeat itself this year
anl should our fall anH winter posiU
tions advance rapidly, an increasing
public interest on the long side
would undoubtedly develop. We,
therefore, continue to suggest to
g our friends that advantage should
, be taken of material declines to
a i
makep urchases of March and May
j cotton with the idea of increasing
holdings on further set-backs.
The usual danger time in the life
j of a cotton plant during July and
^ August and past events have shown
that the time to buy is oh declines
! that occur duirng the favorable developments
of the early summer,
