The spinners of New England, having learned by experience of the advantages conferred by its use, are heavy buyers of The Cotton Company's Roundlap balad cotton. One Massachusetts mill alone bought 25,000 Roundlap bales the latter part of September, and purposes hereafter using no cotton packed by any other method if it can get enough Roundlap bales to supply its spindles. Another Massachusetts mill has bought 8,000 Roundlap bales this season, and twenty-five other New England mills have ordered smaller lots. The European demand for The American Cotton Company's bales is largely in excess of last season's. Early in October 8,000 Roundlap bales for Liverpool were shipped from Galveston in one steamer. Shipments go forward regularly to Genoa, Havre, Bremen and Barcelona. A man's love is apt to be regulated by his digestion. I THIS DRESS GOODS, We keep everyth Large Establisment," seen it.

He occupied the town r 4 without fighting, the insurgents retreating under cover of the creek beds. Later reconnoitering in force southward, Gen. Schwan came upon trenches, where hidden insurgents poured several volleys upon the general and bis staff. The rebels resisted stubbornly. The advance party consisting of Capt. Geary's battalion of the Thirteenth regiment and two guns of Reilly's battery, drove the insurgents two miles, fighting all the way. They found a field piece and several wounded and sick Filipinos flying red flags, and captured 25 insurgents including three officers. Many Filipino dead were along the field. Gen.

The great ! , staple, cotton, will always hold sway. ? i Yet the individual farmer realizes, and the collective thought of agri- [ j culturists, as expressed at various j j conventions, crystalizes the fact of j I necessarily rotating crops, and en- ' gaging in the many branches of the j j industry, so possible of successful ex- f i pansion.

Cancer often results from an impurity in the blood, inherited from generations back. Few people are entirely free from some taint in the blood, and it is impossible to tell when it will break out in the form of dreaded Cancer. What has appeared to be a mere pimple or scratch has developed into the most malignant Cancer. "I had a severe Cancer -which was at first only a few blotches, that I thought would soon pass away.
