CHAMPION GARDENER
OF HOPKINS
Our good friend, J. M. Alexander,
of Ridgeway came doAvn Saturday in
No Man’s Land and left the Echo
Man one of his home grown cabbage
heads that tipped the scales at ten
pounds, after all waste leaves had
been broken off. He also brought
along a home grown beet from his
own garden that was as large as a
half gallon bucket and good from
center to circumference. About that
time Lester Smith came rushing
across the street and got mad be-
cause Mr. Alexander did not bring
him something. Lester forgets that
he and Bose Berry are still promoters
IK' the famous Carnation Milk Plant
nn Sulphur Springs, and will be re-
membered most kindly when that big
plant gets under way, but not much
will be coming their way until the
milk plant whistle blows.

District Court here Friday awarded
$149,000 net damages to Lenox and
Lenox, Clarksville cotton men, in
their suit against the Texas Cotton
Co-operative Association.
The controversy began in % 1922.

the grounds that Lenox and Lenox
were under contract to sell 2,795
s of cotton and only 1,095 bales
ere delivered.

cause of the reduction in value of
the 1,700 bales which they were
enjoined from selling.

judgment to the association and a
$185,000 counter judgment to the
Clai-ksvillfe men.
