WILL MAKE SEVEN-
TY BALESOF COTTON.
Fate Pierce informed the
editor that he would gather off
his plantation this year at least
seventy bales of cotton. At
$13.'50 per hundred, counting-
five hundred pounds to the bale
would be $67.50 per bale, and
the seed at twenty-four dollars
dollars a ton would be twelve
dollars per bale. Now add this
twelve dollars to sixtv-sev^n
fifty and you will have seventy-
nine fifty per bale. And seventy
bales at seventy-nine fifty would
be five thousand five hundred
and sixty-five dollars.
Now we think this a pretty
snug little sum to be made from
one farm this drv year. It stri-
kes us that it would be nearly
enough to pap for the entire
plantation.
The moral to this statement is
come to Stonewall county and
buy you a farm. The shinnery
lands in Stonewall is the best
cotton land in the world. Dur-
ing all these dry years, Fate
said he had never made a failure
Notice.

TEXAS STATE FAIR
A FARMER'S FAIR.
The management of the Texas
State Fair is sparing no effort to
make this year's exhibit especial-
ly interesting to the farmer and
his family. Wednesday, Octo-
ber 22nd has been designated as
special Farmers Day and Sect.
Houston of the Federal Dept.
of Agriculture has been enyited
to be present and deliver an ad-
dress. Chas. Barrett, who was
recently re-elected president of
the National Farmers Union, for
the seventh time will also attend
and also many other practical
agriculturist, both of state and
National fame will participate in
the program.
The Universitv of Texas will
have an vxhibit that will be of
vital interest to every woman on
the farm. Competent Lecturers
will give practical demonstra-
tions on cooking and the farm
home. Special attention will be
given farm conditions from the
standpoint of the housewife.
The agricultural implement
displav, it is said, will be the big
best ever shown and the practi-
cal operation of the silo and
other modern agricultural in-
ventions wsll be demonstrated.
STONEWALL COUNTY
NEEDS COTTON PICKERS
Stonewall county sure needs
cotton pickers. We have heard
different men say this week that
they had at least fifteen bales
open in the patch. By all means
this should be picked, for if bad
wet weather should come, thous-
ands of dollars worth of this
cotton would be destroved.
Tell evervbodv that Stonewall
needs cotton pickers, as we will
make ten or fifteen thousand
bales, and cotton pickers are
might}' scarce. Steye King was
down from Swesson Tuesday
and says he has 'f seventy acres
that needs picking. So send
your pickers to Stonewall.
High Priced Cotton.
THURSDAY CLUB
SOCIAL MEETING.
On last Thursday .afternoon
Mrs. R. S. Tillotson opened the
doors of her pretty new home in
south Aspermont to the members
of the Thursday Club in a social
session. Upon the arrival of the
members, the hostess distributed
score cards and invited the club
to participate in the ever-popular
game of progressive forty-two.
Much was the merriment during
the game, at the close of which
he hostess, assisted by Mrs. D.
R. Couch, served a most delicious
salad course with chocolate.
The Thursday Club is enteru
ing upon the third year of its
work and while there are reg-
ular literary sessions, the social
part of the club is not neglected
