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 clats 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 cf new goods there is a saving to che farmers of nearly 50 per cento By buying that which was used before land 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 th*k old we will be ?*lad to sell you the new. but feel that it 13 our duty to recommend that which will pay von best. Alliance and Grange Clubs would do well to mie us before buying.
