The fact that cotton bas advanced to 7 cants should not induce anyone to plant more cotton next year. To the contr-iry it should convince all reasonable mea to reduce the acreage :o cotton and plant more OMS, wheat, corn, tobacco and other crops. The higher price of cotton is due solely to the belief that t he crop is 3hort : and the short crop is due ;o droughts arid other disasters This year's experience is the most convincing proof that a small crop of cotton is more profitable than a large crop, aod if the cotton growers would only oe wise enough and far-sighted enough to plant oolv ooe-hilf tbe acreage ir; cotton that they hive teen accustomed to devote to thal crop, tt e price next jen? wouid be higher than it b*3 oeen since 1890. Past experi? ence teaches us tc anticipate a greater cottoo acreage next year, and an immense croo, if the seasons are favorable. MARRIED. ! Rev B. M.

Tbe boys who deliver The Item bad a rough time of it Monday afternoon, but they faced the wiod and rain and delivered every sub? scriber's paper on their route before they stopped. The people who were comfortably boused, and were annoyed because their papers were a little late io coming, do not realize w tat it means to a boy to go over a rou te eix or seven miles long in the face of a gale, of wind aod driving rain, such as prevailed that night, through slush and mud that makes riding a bicycle th9 most difficult sort of work. It is bard and dis greeable work and tbe boys, altbongb paid for it, deserve fnll credit for the faithful performance of a trying and disagreeable duty, rather than blase be? cause they are not as prompt as they are in pleasant weather. It is a great mistake for anyone to leave home for a trip of any leegtb on the railroad without first securing a health certificate. I Without a certificate they are almost 6ure to i be held up by quarantine officers and suffer delay, expense and great inconvenience A I hsaltb certificate co&is coining but a "little care and forethought and if it sboa?d not be called for nothing is lost by having ii along. Ia traveling from place to nlace it is a wise precaution to have the certificate stamped by the ticket agent at each poioi that a ticket 13 purchased, as the stamps on the back of the certificite serve as the best and most satisfac? tory record of the travelers itinerary and is a convincing answer to ?nv questions the quarantine officers may ask about the route subsequent to the time the certificate was obtained.
