Mexia Has RcccivcJ
2,580 Bales Cotton
Cotton receipts up to noon on
Monday were as follows:
Farmers Union Warehouse
Association, 1,780; Hughes yard
800. ; ■
The gins in Mexia have gin-
ned 2,294 bales as follows:
Munger, 1,146; Farmers" Gin,
596; Jackson, 552.
Farmers began arriving in
town early Monday morning be-
fore the break of day, and the
gins and yards failed to finish
up the. cotton on the yards Sat-
urday night. The pretty wea-
ther the past few days has cau-
sed a volume of the staple im-
possible to handle throughout
this section.
A few of the farmers have be-
gun raising the price of picking
above $2, and some were offer-
ing as high as $2.75 Monday
morning. A large number of
pickers left for west Texas Sun-
day. Reports seem to indicate
that there is no serious shortage
of help at present, but pickers
will not put in a full week's
work.
Some co-operative effort thru
farmers organizations and the
banks has been suggested in or-
der to keep the price of picking
from advancing to a point out
of reason. The price Monday
was around 27 l-2c for the best
grades. Picking should remain
within a reasonabe figure if the
farmers are to realize enough
money from their cotton crop to
get out of debt and run them-
selves another year.
Cecil Barnett of Oletha is

school during the ensuing ses-

MONEY to Loan
On Improved Farms
Will make long time loans with nothing due but inter-
est each year and at the same time allow the borrower the
privilege of paying S100.00 or any multiple thereof or all the
principal note at any interest paying date.
No Commissions, no inspection fee or fee for examining
the title charged the borrower. Borrower only required to
furnish abstract and pay for recording deeds of trust.
With a majority of the loan companies now out of busi-
ness on account of the tightness of the times and the condi-
tion of the money market. I would advise those who are ex-
pecting to borrow money on land this fall or who have land
notes or loans maturing this fall or January 1st, to have
new loans approved at the earliest date psosible, and by do-
ing this they will have the money arranged for and will pay
out any time the borrower desires.
I represent one of the Big Life Insurance Companies
that do not have to go out into the market and sell its secur-
ities but loan their own money.
If interested just drop me a line ad I will be glad to go
over the proposition with you without any obligations on
your part.
GEO. L. PEYTON, Mexia, Texas.
