Cotton Comparisons.
At this time last year Fred
Goodson, Public Weigher, had
received and weighed a little in
excess of 3400 bales of cotton;
Tuesday of this week he reached
the 1250 mark in his weighing for
this season. There is a great
falling off you will note and the
shortage in a great measure ac-
counts for the condition of the
times, the shortage of money and
tightness of finances in this sec-
tion. Not only was the acreage
cut down this season but the boll
weevil thot to make a good thing
better and he cut the crop too.
Of course we do not know that
the boll weevil knew of the de-
sire to shorten the crop to

The car was new, having been
in use but a short time, and; Mr.

run. It had U. S. tires on it.

some other parts.
The wires have been warm and
the surrounding country notified
so we presume it will be but a
matter of time until the car and
its abductors will be captured.

New Bridge Built.
A new bridge has been built on
Birmingham street and at this
time graders are at work filling
in the approaches. The bridge is
20x20 and 6 feet high. It is the
widest bridge in the county and
is made thus because t f the
heavy traffic it will have. Kelly
Lumber Co., donated the lumber
for the structure, perhaps feeling
that the improvement would be
of more benefit to tnem than the
cost. Marvin Roten and his
men did the building. After the
road approaches are made the
street will be graveled, Judge
Perkins supplying the gravel
from his field nearby. That this
will be a much appreciated im-
provement is very evident.

night. They did not have so

large one.
It was a versatile quartette of

people and they gave a varied
program, a portion of which
seemed to please the "gallery

There was lots of smoke, but the

have done. The damage was
slight.
