Horosjioping
An Absurd Report
An absurd report is being circulated
in some parts of tho county to tho ef
fect that the imported cotton seed
will cost tho farmers S60 a ton and
that merchants of Palestine will not
supply thoso who refuso to buy This
movement to securo early maturing
cotton seed is purely for the benefit of
tho farmers The seeds aro to be
bought by a fanner for the farmers
and they aro to cost the planters just
exactly what they cost laid down here
No one will bo forced to buy and any
merchant will furnish any farmer who
will secure him for supplies whether
ho buys seed or plants cotton This
is purely a business matter
Closing Hour
During the winter months and un-
til further notice tho Public Library
rooms will bo closed at 530 oclock
