A BIG OFFER'FOR COTTON.
W.,E. Frybergor is pinking a big of-
fer for cotton. It will be remembered
that he came to the rescue last year
and gave the cotton farmers a remerk-
ably good price for their product. He
bought several hundred hales last
year and it is quite likely he will
eclipse that record this year. On an-
other page of this issue will he found
his advertisement which explains his
