PROSPERITY OP THE SOUTH.
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

armor who hasn't paid will bo singularly
alone, and except in very
aro^nstances, without an excuse sxccpt
mismanagement.
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. Possessed
of every available means of
clief, she was "nursed and tenderly
;ared for, she lacked nothing that
?nuld or WOlllfl
? - n V vvuvitUUVV W AAV/ A
jomfort or restoration by human
iffort, but all this availed not and
ilic end came Monday morning
ibout 3 o'clock.
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. D. M. McLeod. The f
nterment in the old village ccmc- (
cry beside graves of her father and
nother. The mound was covered ,
ivith beautiful floral tributes.
She is survived by husband *
ind sister Miss Grace Gage and I
brother Judge Geo. W. Gage |
>f Chester, Mr. Victor S. Gage, of c
Birmingham, Ala., and Mr. Ed- ?
>vard J. Gage, of New York.
The tender and sincere sympa- *
thies of the entire community aro 1

crushed beneath the weight of sor- (row,
and for her relatives and many
friends who mourn her death. y
for the Consideration of Our
City Tattlers. 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. A Citukn. I
