With u touch of the western
cold wave, spot cotton got frisky
yesterday and jumped up 40
points, at which announcement
there was general rejoicing
throughout business circles here.
When fro.-t hit Corsicana, Texas,
cotton got busy goiug up and
didn't seem to get tired at any
time in the game. The weathor
i man hud this to say about the cold

advanced rapidly eastward, causing
decidedly lower temperatures
from Texas to M'c'.iigao. The
minimum temperatures in the
western cotton belt wore generally
below 50, except 011 the immediate
Gulf coast. Light frosts
occurred at (Jorsicana, Texas, and
ut points in Minnesota and freez

An editor of an Exchange being
asked if ho ever saw a bald-head- '

vein: "No, we never did,
nor did we ever see a woman
waltzing around town in hor shirt
sleeves with a cigar in her teeth
and running into every saloon she
saw. We have never seen a woman
go fishing with a bottle in her
pocket, sit on the damp ground
all day and come home diunk at
night. Nor have wo ever seen a
woman yank off her coat and say
she could lick any man in town.
God bless her, she's not built that
way."
