Cotton is opening now very rapid ly, and there will be a great deal of picking this week. There would have been much picked out last week if the rain had not interfered so much. The most of our farmers are very much inclined to think that the cot ton crop will not Le less than twenty five per cent short as reported the last of July in this locality.

It is strange that farmers look upon these school.- ith such little favor There lias been a little fun here for the past few days with "blind tigers" and now they have all de parted to places unknown. U. S. Deputy Johnson, of Littleton, ar rested a negro named Dallas Wynn and had evidence enough against another negro named John Durham to get him a'so, but some blind tiger place of mortality to the home of immortality, from the realm of suf fering to that of no p:u:i and ro death. About three years was the duration of his stay upon this earth, but he was so gentle and sweet that in this biief time he won the hearts not only of relatives but of all who came in touch with his . gentle little life. But he is gone, foi-ever gone, from that calm and happy home. The light has fled and the sunshine has departed and a gloom now marks the place where once his little footstep3 strode; but the sweet fragrance of his influence abides and his cherry disposition and sweet smiles linger in our minds like the memory of a delicious dream or the slowly vanishing impression of an angelic face or the receding echoes of heavenly mu:-.ic. He bore his sufferings very pa tiently and waited gently for the coming of the death angel who came just as the r.im was quietly lowering its way in the far away west and bore his little soul homeward and gave it up to God. Weep not, dear parents, for your precious boy, for he is at rest, sweetly resting, in the arms of Jesus. Be reconciled to the Lord's will and lean on Him for com fort, for His will must be done, not ours. His little body was taken to the cemetery near Yv hi takers Saturday afternoon and tenderly laid to rest to await the tesurrection morn. His little grave was banked with beauti ful white flowers. Ha has left us for a fairer shore And there will shine forever more, "lis then we hope to meet him And see again his smiling face; Li heaven, oh, may we greet him Where all is love and joy and peace.
