"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.

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.

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.
