on Cotton Crop.
About the only fair not wo have
learned of cotton conditions comes
from It. K. Moseley living eight miles
Ast of Achllle. He has 70 acres of
cotton which he estimates will make
200 pounds to the acre if conditions
continue to Improve. Some ot the
nous are opening now.
North of Darant Not so Promising
Prof. O. W. Seeley reports that
cotton Is us bad as It can possibly be
In his neirfeborhood. He said that he
had vlslte4 many fields and examined
the cotton carefully. The weevils
have practically exterminated the
cotton crop. Mr. Seeley said thjt he
examined one stock which had nine
bout n it and that each ot the bolls
had a grub in them. At the best
cotton looks bad.

Here's Where We Save You a Lot of Money
fPHE group ottering illustrat d above is the wason's
1
best find in this type of garment. Tlicy arc; made
right they look right ami they make tho own-r feel
right. They are truly extraordinary values. Kaeh
dress is of a good wearing quality a blue serge in one-
piece style. It fastens on the left Bhoulder and side and
cleverly designed tucks at the side seaniB give the neces-
sary fullness in front without bunching. The double
belt ties at the side and hangs down. The workmanship
is excellent and a well-made air pervades the whole
garment. The result is a well-dressed feeling for the
wearer that comes only when the absolutely correct is
present.
fiJ)Xj inspection brings a wonder as lo how these
dulses can posnibly be produced and sold at the
prices w now aie asking for them. The embroidery is
of French kuotH in wool on throe of the models and with
sill; on two. it is put on as beaiitifully as if this were
a high-priced garment that could be sold only at con-
siderable advance ov r what Is really asked. One mod-
el is embroidered in gray wool with red circles. An-
other also in gray wool has an extra wide design
around the skirt while still another is In bicge and red.
Of the two with silk one has black embroidery with
touches of golden brown and I he oilier tan and blue-
green designs with black centers.
