Very Important.
It is extremely important in buy-
ing shoes to get fresh leather. Our
stock is new.
Cotton Receipts.
Cotton receipts have hot been
neai so good since cotton went below
ten cents, though there is still lots
of it coming to town and selling at
prevailing prices. This week it
has been selling at prices averaging
something like 9£c, some days up
a little and some days down a little.
Yesterday there were more than 100
bales on the square at one time, but
the growers were very reluctant
about accepting prices offered.
That the farmer intends to have
a better price for his cotton is quite
evident to any one driving over the
country. At nearly every farmer’s
house can be seen from one to halt a
dozen bales that will go to the mar-
ket when the price is satisfactory.
Up to last night there had been
received in Cooper 5343 bales.
Nearly 1000 bales of this is stored
awaiting a more favorable market.

Friday night a negro boy about
ten or eleven years old bid behind
one of the counters in Crawford-
Norris-Stevens Co.’s store, and after
it was closed up and the lights turn-
ed off he got busy. Chewing gum,
however, was as big game as he was
looking for and be confined bis ex-
plorations principally to the show
case containing the juicy wax. After
he had “chawed’’until his jaws were
tired, like a bug. be was attracted
by the electrie light left burning in
the show window, and climbed up in
the shoe display and began playing,
evidently nor aware that be was in
full view of any one passing on the
street. He was soon discovered and
locked up in jail. Owing to his age
liewas turneu loose next day after a
good lecture. When being led off to
prison he plead that they take his
papa in his place. His parents were
in the country picking cotton.

Postmaster C. V. Rattan, looking
to the interest of Uncle Sam’s pat-
rons, has made some improvements
in the postofSce that will bs greatly
appreciated by the public. The fix-
tures have been moved to the front
of the building and rearranged so
that the public desk, and delivery,
money order and stamp windows are
all in a group with plenty ot light,
A lot of new boxes have deen order-
ed and will soon be here and placed
in position. The extra room in the
rear is needed for the nse ot the
rural mail carriers. When the work
is finished the interior will be so fix-
ed that it will not be necessary to
close the frontdoor in the absence
of the postmaster except at night,
thus giving people access to the
boxes.
The Holiness people of this city
have made tne Presbyterians a pro-
position to buy the latter’s church.
The sale depends largely on whether
or not the Presbyterians and Cum-
berlands succeed in perfecting an
arrangement that is being talked of
to go in together and build a part-
nership church on the lot now own-
ed by the latter. There are several
different plans being considered bat
nothing definite has been decided on.
