Strom was in town ju Saturday and, upon being ask ;d as to whether he is holding or selling cotton, statr-d to the writer that he now has about 300 bales Df cotton at his home. So great is bis faith in the future advance in price that Mr. Strom contemplates buying about 300 bales instead of selling what he already has. This is proving his faith by his works Called for Another Year. Rev. P. P. Blalock who bas ?orved Berea church very faith fully as pastor for eleven years bas been called for another year.
