Cottonseed is selling- on the King-j stree market at $22.00 to $24.00 per ton and promises to go higher. A Strong Hint. The dentists all seem to advise j that before going to their office to j have teeth examined or fixed up, all j patients should look around before leaving home and get either a hoe, pickaxe, rake or some suitable brush, and dig up and remove such vegetables and provisions as have been stored on and around the teeth and thereby give the dentist a better chance to find them, that is, if such a performance has not been attended to since last Christmas.
