These are gatherings purely in the interests of agricuU turist and it is to be hoped that our farmers will be wide awake to catch every benefit.

Perhaps the oldest bale of cotton in the world "was purchased last Wednesday by Mr. Allen Fleming, of' Fleming & Foster's .Compress Company. The cotton was grown in Laurens county, S. C, 1834, by an old man by the nume of VYatts. The cotton,' though old, was snowy white and not the least tinged, with yellow. It was a curiosity to the cotton men of today and at tracted considerable attention. The bale was of usual size and was packed in a coarse home-made cloth woven from old rags into a sheet. The ties which held the bale to gether we e made from grape vines ana were as nam ana taut as raw hide thongs. The cotton has been ia the family ever since it wa3 made, .dumped from the cotton press into tho yard. It was then taken into the old barn, where it has been safely sheltered for more than GO ycirs. Mr. vWattj, though fairly a rich planter, refused to sell the cotton at any price. Oid man Watts after his crop cf cotton was ginned and baled in 1834, one was set aside from the entire lot, saying to his son at the time : 4 may be a poor man when I come to die and in case I am I want that bale of cotton," pointing to the par ticular bale, "and the7 proceeds used to defray my funeral expensefs." The year3 rolled by, ho continued to add to his wealth, and when he had lived his allotted time he wss pretty well fixed in this world's goods, and the cotton was left un sold. Some time before Mr. Watts' drmise he took occasion to remark to .his son that in caee the cotton was not used to keep it in the fami ly, guarding it carefully and not to sell it un(3er any circumstances ex cept for funeral expenses. The bale was then taken in charge by young Watts : and was more carefully watched by him than by his father. Mr. Watts, Jr., J,was industrious and when he crossed over the river it was not necessary to dUose of it to pay the expensed o; f uneral. Before the young" man died he made a will. to his sister, and! in that will it was his expressed wish that the precious bale be disposed of only for the purpose of obtaining money to pay her funeral expenses if it be necessary. When she died she was wealthy and the cotton was not sold. Miss Watts recently died in tes- tate and wien the final winding; up of her estate was made the cotton was put on tle market and wao sold.

I believe Ayer's Sarsaparilla to be the best blood purifier, that has been introduced to the gen eral public.
