; as an initial advance, according,
; to an announcement made here
(today by R. J. Murray, general
manager. Through numerous
branch offices of the association
established throughout the state,
in charge of federally licensed
classers, Mr. Murray said, the ac-
tual grade and staple of the cot-
ton will be determined and the
advance figured on the actual in-
the minority just now as this
is the “off season” for much
distilling of corn, and for which
there is a greater demand during
cold weather.
It will pe recalled that in last
week’s paper it was stated that
there were at that time*'twenty
cases on file with the district
clerk of the county seeking di-
vorces. Since then two more such
applications have been filed,

the jail inmates.
provide such public utilities which
are sorely needed here, and
which proposition, it is understood,
will be presented to the city
government in a short time.
With the installation of both
gas and sewerage, Canton would
be on an equal footing as to con-
veniences with any other town
or city, and it is these two
conveniences mentioned and lack
of which, has kept the town from
going forward as it should, and
will forever be an impediment to
its growth until they are realized.
When the town can boast of such,
those seeking a desirable place
to live can ask no more, as the
town has an abundant water
supply, together with the best of
electric lights and power, is bles-
sed with a good school system,
splendid churches, its own ice
plant and bakery and one of the
best hotels in the country, with
work just starting on hard sur-
faced highways through the town.
As the Herald is informed, only
a franchise will be asked, with
the stipulation that a sufficient
number of resvlents of the town
agree to take the service offered
to justify putting it in.
Those who have given the
matter considerable thought have
rightly assumed that the people
of Canton could “tie in” to these
two enterprises now at much less
expense to themselves than could
have been done any time in the
