MR. G. C. LYTTLE HAS
FIRST BALE OF COTTON
Since Heck’s grand-daddy was a
pup and perhaps longer, ohe Cary
Peterkin, an outstanding colored far
mer, has been the first one to have
a cotton blossom ad he first bale
to be ^nned. Cary seems to have
fallen from grace this year, how
ever, for ha missed the first bloom
and now Mr. G. C. Lyttle comes
along and shoves him aside on the
first bale proposition, thereby beep
ing humiltation on the head of said
Cary and taking from his race the
distinction of the first bale. The
only explanation possigle is that
Cary’s old fiieid and landlord, the
late John L. MeFhdyen is no more.
Mr. Lyttle had his first bole gin
ned at Oakdale Gin and it ■was
bought tij; ^h«ww. Mrs. H. A. Cam
eron decided to boy it and purchased
it from the gin. She is holding it
for a decent price, having read of
