Entire Cotton Cmo be Marketed at an Average Price of S I-2c. New Orleans, July 8.?Students of the cotton market express amazement at the unparalleled prospective prosperity of the South by reason of the peculiar situation the ipinners of the world are placed in with reference to raw cotton supplies. The farmer holds, of the old wop, about 1,500,000 bales, now worth about 11 cents a pound. Evwy pound of the new crop will bring n the market about that much. More than twelve millions of bales )f the old crop have been sold at an tveragc of about 8 1-2 cents. Thus :hc cotton producers and the Southern interests dependent upon them ire now in a fair way to enjoy a period of the greatest prosperity hey have ever had, for the world vill need every bale of the old surplus and every bale of the new crop o meot the unprecedented demand or manufactured goods. At least or the time'being, the day of farm nortgages in the South lias passed mil n vpar <?! >? llm ??V. M J v%??

The responsible agents arc the cx:ellent trade conditions of the world, ontinuous bad weather, which has prevented another gigantic crop, md the holding of cotton by the armor, thus preventing speculators rom controlling the markets. Unquestionably, the South as a vhole is on the eve of great prosperity. A Sad, Sad Death. Mrs. P. E. Fant is dead. For ;wo weeks or more she suffered, ind bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude and patience.

In the beautiful bloom of womanhood, bride of a few short months, in ideal home and husband, congenial friends and social surroundings, she was snatched from all this and the warm embrace of conjugal fehcity, to rest forever in the irms of her Savior, in that beautiful home, "a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." ' Mrs. Fant was before her mar- \ iage Miss Martha Williams Gage, :hc youngest child of Col. and Mrs. Robt. J. Gage and was born eight iiiles west of Union at the old homestead, "Mosgilc," in the <] Meadow woods. ^ The funeral services were held at lie residence on Main street Tucs- } lay afternoon conducted by her pastor Rev.

I While our city fathers arc improving and taking such . interest in ? )ur streets, and at the same time 10 careful to see that they are not docked . nor injured, by passing >rdinnnces for their protection, wo ivould like to inquire whether there is an ordinance against placing obitructicns in the streets, and if there is, why is same disregarded in favor of Mountain street? Mountain street from Main to passenger depot is traveled its much is any of the streets and we cannot understand how half of said street uan Ik* used as a lumber yard unless aur city fathers have leased or rented it for that purpose, and if they have, how much rent do they get? We do not know, but believe that Mountain street extends through the railroad property at the same width as it crosses Main, and if it iocs, it is surely obstructed, and if it does not extend at the same width, we should like to have same run out at whatever width it should l)C and put in good shape for public travel, with sidewalks and driveway. If we arc wrong in supposing that it is a public street, but is private property belonging to the railroad company and leased, we most humbly ask your pardon, but if it is public property we should j like to sec it protected and put in [ good shape.
