Dec. 24.? News is scarce nowadays,
but listen out for the squall
later on.
Some thief, or thieves, entered
the cotton house of S. C. Paris a
few nights ago and took an bun- j
dred pounds or so of cotton.
Crops are about all gathered and '
there is general complaint of the :
shortage. A friend recently requested
us to givo oui; experience
with the year's crop. We made
a fair crop of everything we plant-;
I ed?corn, cotton, oats, peas, pota- '
toes, etc. On throe and one-half :
acres in oats we threshed 21 <S
bushels. From the sale of oats
and hay from this lot we realized
forty-odd dollars p?-r acre. From
fifteen acres in cotton we gathered
i n ino bales, and we are satisfied
that six acres of the fiifteen made
six bales, and on our ''pot" acre,
which composed on? of the six, we
gathered three thousand nounds
of Heed cotton. Now Thomas, if
you are nroitud, we have no seed I
for sale, hh it is strictly against our
religion to sell then:. We feel i
loath to say it, hut this is our last
crop. Our race is run.
We still have a surplus of agents
and peddlers around. One of the
latter met up with a well known
horse trader recently and swapped
his whole store for an old horse '
and a wiilinni gont.
Christmas is hero and we can't
enter the chase as usual, hut will
inform sportsmen that we are just
an up-to-date setter. Splinter.
