Im 'i I Bagging and Ties , In a few weeks you will be looking for ill's material to bale your cotton, which at this writing looks very pro7"ni; We have practicrdiy every yard of bagging and every bundle of ties that we expect to sell, in our warehouse, b racht some time ago and at prices that we could not duplicate to-day. Our offerings consist ?f: 2 and 3. Lb. New Jute Bagging and Standard New Arrow Ties j We have no second hand bagging or ties to offer. If yrui want second hand goods you \vi!! have to get them i'rem the other fellow. .2 Neither have we any Sugar Sack Bagging. This material was high? er in proportion than Jute and we did not buy it. Jarmerr tell us that in holding cotton, which a good many now do, it keeps much better in Jute than in Sugar Sack. We would advise farmers to haul their bagging and Ties rather than have them shipped, as freights ore hi {h and deliveries uncertain. 1 Cotton Picking Sheets We would advise our friends to save their guano sacks for this pur? pose as the price of sheets is almost prohibitive. ? | 0 Bonncil ?
