( ; He was in the 69tli year of his age, 1 having been bom in January. 1831. j He was the second son of the late Mr. s and Mrs. Richard T. Robinson, his 1 oldest brother, Mr. N. P.

' Today her condition shows improvement and it is thought will continue 1 to do so The boll weevil was found 1 today (Monday) on J. A, Bridge's farm at Pleasant Hill. Both live weevils and ' punctured squares were found in the ' ; field near the home of Bynum Black- ' mon. Pleasant PI ill is on a line paral- ' | lei with Oornwcll in Chester county. ! ! where the weevil was found last Fri- ! day. Fields between Lancaster and [1 Pleasant Hill were carefully inspected j' by the county agent and a representa- ' tive of the IT. S. department of agri- ! culture, but they were unable to find the work of the weevil until the;. ' reached the Bridges farm at Pleasant ' Hill. On account of the lateness oi ' the season, it is not likely that the |! eggs now deposited will develop into ' ! mature weevils. The weevils that are ' now coming in will hunt shelter places ' around the woods, hedges, and fields \ that are grown, up to weeds, etc., to ' spend the winter Three weeks ' Vein today the voters of Lancaster are called upon to elect a mayor, six alder- ' jmyn ;.nd^ope contriiis: it ucr of public | ?mi wW?' i; i|v 13 j ; .io candidates have come out seeking 11 i the positions.

Mr. Harrison said in substance; that men ! everywhere were trying to find a solu-1 tion for the grave problems that con- | front us, and that when men. who in ! the past had only tolerated the church ; were now turning to the church and crying religion alone can save us.

To give to producers and others in- I onnation regarding actuaf cotton rices in their local or near-by imporant markets, the Hureau of Markets of he United States Department of ..Agriulture is inaugurating a cotton j. rice luotation service and will issue repo. "ts rom Avis unportant points in the co ton belt, cotton seed prices also v/L'I e covered. The first report is to be issued from* Memphis, Tenn., for the district imnedijitery surrounding that point: ither reports will follow from district loadquarters at 'Atlanta, Ga.. New Orleans, La., Cliarlotte, N. C., and Dallas, Texas, for the territory immediately surrounding each of those )oints. . In announcing the price quotation lervice for cotton the bureau of marcets states that producers and even 'ealers interested in cotton have always lacked sufficient reliable infurnation as to the actual market values of the different grades of cotton n the various primary markets and concentration points in the cotton >elt. A recent amendment to the I'nited States cotton futures act provided authority arid funds to enable the secretary of agriculture to inaugurate x quotation service which would furnish producers and others any needed information, particularly in view of [he fact that, as k result of the amendment, an important outlet for ten of the lower grades of cotton which had previously been deliverable on future contracts had been closed. The closing cf this outlet for these ten low grades if cotton has emphasized the . need lor a quotation service of the kind which the government is now estabishing. Reports of purchases and sales of cotton will he gathered from country buyers, country merchants, dealers, brokers, commission merchants, factories, mills and others who buy or *( 11 in the important country markets md concentration points thoughout the cotton belt. On the basis of these reports the bureau of markets will prepare and publish weekly bulletinshowing the prices at which th^ various grades of cotton have actually been bought and sold. The bulletin issued from each of th<> five district hemline rlers will show cotton prices in a number of markets in the territory Immediately surrounding or adjacent to the district headquarters, and its ilstribution will bo largely confined to ersons in the district for which it is ssurd. No one bulletin will cover quoatiensfor the entire cotton bolt, and it! s intended that the bulletins shall be prepared in a concise. readily under UWUi.mir in.it! , .mum ?? i dil ution that they will be of local value :o persons in the communities which vceivc them. The information contained in the nilletins will be telephoned or wired it their expense to persons who request such service. The complete bulletinsvill be mailed to newspapers. Federal, date and comity officers in each disriet, to dealers and others who furrsh the information on which the tilletins are based, and to banks, coton gins, exchanges, oil mills, proiucers, and others who desire to have hem. It is expected that the infornation contained in the bulletins will ie given widespread circulation and vill be available to all who may be nterested. In view of the general lack of information as to the prices of cotton seed, he quotation service for cotton will ilso include the actual prices at which otton seed is bought and sold at a lumber of markets selected for the mrpose in each district.
