We have made large contracts for Bag? ging and Ties, and feel that we are in a better position than ever to supply our customers in this line. For some years we have been buying largely of second hand Bagging and Ties from mills in the upper part of the State, and fortunately our contracts were made with them this year in the early Spring, or we could not have gotten them?owing to the high price of new goods they were eagerly sought. Some people object to use this class of Bagging because it is a little ragged, but we think that should make but very little difference as the best of it looks pretty tough from sampling very soon after it passes out of the farmers hands. Based upon the price of new goods there is a saving to the farmers of nearly 50 per cent? By buying that which was used before and why not reap the benefit of it, as it makes no difference in the price of your cotton. We have all grades, and if you don't want the old we will be glad to sell you the new, but feel that it is our duty to recommend that which will pay you best. Alliance and Grange Clubs would do well to see us before buying. OJpMHELL & CO. GET A HOME ON EASY TERMS WHILE YOU PAY SENT.
