In the Cotton Market In Pauls
Valley This Fall.
TOP PRICES MUST BE PAID
Or the Town Will Suffer. Now Is the Time to
Confer With Mr. Cotton Raiser.
The merchants and cotton buyers of
nearby towns are working harmonious-
ly in an effort to make their towns the
leading cotton markets. Posters are
being sent broadcast all over this
country, not only in the immediate vi-
cinity of the towns near to Pauls Val-
ley, but farmers in Pauls Valley's trade
territory are receiving pointers to the
effect that better prices will be paid al-
most anywhere than in their home
town.
The big advantage to Pauls Valley
will be the money that cotton will
bring here this fall. The proceeds of
the crop are of benefit to the town
where it is marketed. The crops are
marketed in the town that offers the
best inducements to the farmers.
These inducements may be enumerated
as price, facilities, quality of roads and
character of business men.
The first and most important consid-
eration with the man who has some-
thing to sell is the price. He is go-
to sell where the best value can be
had all other things being equal, it
follows that the town that would be a
cotton market this fall must pay the
full market value for the staple, no
other town is doing more. Many are
doing a little less than that. But the
facilities for handling the staple must
be better if the price is the same.
The town that is going to get most
of the tributary cotton must _be pre-
pared to pay the full value and handle
it with ease and dispatch.
These are important matters to the
market town. No attempt to overlook
the least of them will result other than
unsatisfactory to the buyers of the
town. The farmers near Pauls Valley
are awake to the value of their pro-
ducts. They read the newspapers.
They are posted on the markets. And
they can get the value of their crop.
They deserve the best possible accom-
modations. They will use the best
facilities that are at hand, and this may
mean that the cotton will go to some
other town.
To receive ten thousand bales of
cotton in one year at one town means
a gTeat deal for that town. It means
the difference of many per cent be-
tween that town and the town that re-
ceives a thousand bales. The differ-
Capital Stock 50.000 Surplus and Profits, 73.000
The First National Bank of Pauls Valley solicits
accounts large and small and with its Capital stock
of $50,000, and surplus funds of $73,000, offers
to the public every facility consistent with safe and
prudent banking
ence is to the advantage of the town
that gets the greater quantity.
These are matters that the cotton
buyers of this city should investigate
and work out to the satisfaction of the
farmer. "Granny methods" and
"stand in deals" will not bring cotton
to Pauls Valley this fall.
A PECULIAR SUIT.
The United States vs eighty-nine
cases of liquor is the style of a suit
filed in the district court. The pe-
culiarity of the suit brings it into notice
and it is the first suit so styled that has
been filed in the Southern district.
The United States, plaintiff, claims
that the Pabst brewing company at
Milwaukee manufactured and shipped
eighty-nine casks of fermented liquors
each cask containing 120 pint bottles,
to Ardmore.
The name on the cask was "Vigor-
ine," and they found it in possession
of Oscar Wilkinson at Ardmore and
! seized by the collector of the United
i
Internal revenue for Kansas, according
| to law. The casks were stored with
W. D. Hardie and the United States
prays that the marshal be allowed to
take possession of these casks and
dispose of them according to the law.

he hasn't any mind; he meanders

asked to advertise.—Ex.
