Messrs. J. W. Jones, Ed McCullough and G. L. Williamson of Mooreville are in the

Tax Assessor Jim Barnett, who recently returned from a business trip to the
Panhandle country, says there is considerable cotton yet to pick out there.

there as in other parts of the state.
-----
Mrs. C. B. Monday has received a nice assortment of Louisiana oranges from the

countries.
