"All right, Tom. how much k do you want for your co:ton?" asked 1, the merchant. "Jes do de bes' vu kin fer de ole nigger an' hit '11 be k all right wid him," was Tom's reply. D, The bale weighed 520 pounds and the merchant wrote a receipt for k $52, explaining to the old man that, n while the market was only 7 cents, he would allow him 10 cents, which k seemed to greatly please the old fel le low. He left, saying ne woum ot back before Christmas and pay the k balance of $11. ;o There is a "hard-luck" stofy behind the above incident. For years [s the merchant has been furnishing r- Tom regularly. A few years ago his only mule died and the merchant le bought him -another animal, which soon went the way of the other one. ;; Last year the old negro turned over all his crop and other stuff to his ic creditor, saying that he could no n longer run a farm and was going to "crop" with his son this year. And n the bale of cotton he delivered yesterday to the man that has helped s- him through all these years was a se part of this year's crop, which was! ? s- made by the old darkey, his wife and' 3- two small grandchildren. In his long experience as a business man the merchant says yester-1 n day's transactions is one of the most remarkable in his careel\ REFUGEE 1XXJS AND CATS. jl d n Belgian Exodus Gives Paris Pound ' Keeper Trouble. % m< ls Paris, Oct. 20.?Human beings are 'n not the or.lv refugees from the war zone now harbored in Paris.
