A lady living near Paris went
to put on her husband's shoes as
overshoes and found a snake in
one of them. It seems all right
for the snake to be in his shoes,
but how comes it that the old
man didn't find it?
freight he should look out, as he
must if necessity have his cotton
put up in the square bale. But
aside from this, why should the
differ nee be made? One hundred
pounds of cotton in a square bale
is no more than if put into a
round" bale. There is a bug under
the chip somewhere.

Prominent men in the affairs
of the country predict that Uncle
Sam will fight with the Mikado
and that too at no distant day.
Japan has kept her army of
1.000,000 since the close of hostil-
ities with Russia and has been
strutting around with a chip on
her shoulder daring some one to
knock it off. When Uncle Sam
enters the field the little fellows
better look out for something
will surely drop.
And now Mr. Colquitt comes
out in favor of making a lower
rate on round bale cotton than
that given to'the square bale. As
the farmer will have to pay the
commercial school of the entire
south, enrolling from 1,000 to
1,500 students annually. 15 expert
teachers.
