NOTICE OF SALE
To th Editor of ihf Journal:
The newt story recently carried in
The Journal under the heading of
-Vhat'i a Man'a Word Worth?"
which told of a farmer trying to
sell his cotton after the buyer had
looked at his sample and made him
bid he (the farmer) said, "No, I
proiuised a buyer over there I would
eon? back and I am froing to keep
my word." However the buyer of
fered him fifteen points above his
offer, and the farmer let the other
buyer tro hang and sold. All of this
reminds us of an experience we had
last feason. I had a pair of long sta
ple bales and drove up in front of the
buyer's door. He came out, whetted
his knife on a wagon spoke, cut the
cotton, took a hasty look, jerked out
his ticket book and said, "Give you
21 cent?." I Kve him a look over
and said, "What did long staple clos
at yesterday?" He said "it -losed
around 30 cents." "Well, said I. "it
sure did take a drop." "0;i," said he
"yours is not long stap'.o." I said I
did not know but if he would wait a
minute 1 would tell h;,n whether he
had lied or not." so I took :he sam
ples he had taken from the bi le and
made for the cotton gxatier s ffue ind
pitched them down in front of him.
He immediately pulled u and meas
ured the fibre. Looking ini h taid.
"Full inch and a tiuni't-r." I (bunked t
him .'.nil maiie back ti u-.y team.!

HANK DEPOSITS INCREASE
(From the Marshville Home.)
It is rmnrkable how quickly busi
ness conditions in the South respond
to the price of cotton. Six months
ago you couldn't borrow money any
where. Money teemed to have gone
into hiding and those who had it
nailed it down and clinched the nails.
Within the past thirty days bank de
posits in Union county have increas
ed several hundred thousand dollars
ami some predict that by the time all
the held-ovcr old crop of cotton is
marketed deposits in the county w'H
probably show a greater aggregate
than in 11H'..
than in 191'J.

An organization for the propah'an-'

at least, that is what the fifty boys!
who wear the masks ;t white tbulk!
and red paint like to call their cog in i
the activities of the big show.
Of all the people with the circus. I
the clowns are perhaps the best post
ed on current events, especially the
producing clowna, who a.-e the mon
archs of their profession and if you
don't realize that clowning is a pro
fession, you should wa'.'h the produc
ing clowns rehearsing their troupes,
building their "props" tin 1 portable
settings in the winter months before
the gaudily painted trunt slide from
the winter quarters towar.l the open
ing stand in the early part of April.
If, when Howe's Great Londtn Cir-!
cus and Van Amburg's Triin.nl Wild;
Animals comes to Mourn? Saiutdnr. j
October 8, you should see several itu-
dious chaps poring ovef a lug brik, a '
formidable looking book, don't rut i
them down for press igi-nts, for they:
are not. They're .elowis. l'hey are!
busy with clippings of n'J that n pstir
in the world and they are trying to ;
find some bit of current news that v ill
be adaptable to pantomimic bur-)
lesoue.
Cut there is a group of Merry An-,
diews with the circus that don't look 1
so eaagerly over the iiewvs columns. ;
They're the London music ral1 clowns
imported this season. These clutps '
sit around between show 4 oiseiissing
what American audien.vs like best of
their imported drolleries. A'he:i tney ;
decide that a certain bit -if ;),irto-

they elaborate on it, shape it -iad pol- i
ish it, so that it makes uuifatvi out '.
of chuckles.
