The report of the census bureau Issued on the 2Qtb Inst. showed that up to the 12th December 13,759,052 bsles had been ginned, an increaae of more than three million b.tiei over laat-year’s yield. With the addition of that yet un- ginned and ungathcred tbe total crop will prohab’y foot up over fifteen mil lion bales The surplus will be suftlulent to bear down the aurely shorter crop of next year. There may be many this year who sympathize with the old farmer who mourned oyer the greatness of hi* •rops because he feared that his hud had so “strained Itself” that the next season tbe field* w«uld refuse to yield their increaae equal to hts needs. THE HURRYING BARBER. ipaad Manifested More In the Motions Than In tha Results. "Rnrl>era.” remarked the man with tbe abort hair, •‘ure boro unubte to hurry. Just you go Into a shop, aa I did the other day. wanting n hair cut. and ask the barber bow long It will take, lie told me. ‘Ob, atnuit twenty minutes!' and I said to go ahead. "That imt btt - honestly believed he was hurrying, but he couldn't leave out those little anip-snips about tbe back of the neck they are all so fond of doing, and he had to cut the hair ns If he were chiseling priceless marble. When It got to be about half un hour I said to him. ‘You're a pretty had judge of time, aren't you?* lie came back with something about not want ing to turn out a poor Job. T’tc known It to happen often in tbe cose of shaving. When you tell a barber to hurry he dashes around on the tiled floor at Imminent risk of fall ing. and he splashes tbe lather into your eye* and your mouth, but the fact remains that he takes as much time ns usual to rub the lather Into your face and os much time to shave you. "I begin to believe there is some •ert of. rule regarding time that all barl>ers observe, because I have timed them. Once I asked a l*ar!>er to burry shaving me, and he bad all the motions, but took up Just as much time ns when lie wont along at his usual gait. “I imagine they Relieve the customer will lie satisfied with the ap[>cnran<*e of speed, and that's the reason they run around so and breathe heavily ns if winded when changing from one side of the chair to the other.”—New York Sun.
