At a meeting of the cotton mill committee a few
days ago it was decided to begiili r house lo house can
vass of the county for 8ubscript|ion8 to stock in the mill,
and it is hoped the people of the counts will meet the
solicitors with liberal subscriotions. The committee
hopes to be ready for organization by Ju ie 1, go to work
on the mill and h&ve it in operation by January 1. The
architect is now preparing plans and soecifications for

It was the home of the nieaslj long-homed cow. Here

was a good place for jack-sniple. There were few men in

would ever be fit for anything but wild cattle. Now it is
a winter garden spot. In a > few years more the land ,
