LUBBCtr.'S FIRST BAU.
- brings the First Bale
ts Ttwn Thursday.
Good Premium.
The first bale of 1912 Lubbock
County cotton was brought to
town last Tuesday by J. W.
Flinn. The gins were not in po-
sition to gin it for him. and he
took it back home. A premium
was given him amounting to
$46.50. The bale will turn out
about an average weight and will
likely bring a good price on the
local market
The first bale was a little later
this year than last which is pro
bably due to a ditferent kind of
cotton but is about as early as
rotten It usually brought in on
the plains. j
Mr. r'lmn stated to an Aval
am he nun thai he paid f .M per
hundred tu have it picked.
Cotton Jumps $1.00.
The American cotton market
saw a rise in cotton this morning
of twenty points or $1 per bale
though the local market failed to
respond that much as it was
thought the rise was occasioned
by shorts covering.
Cotton on the streets of Abi-
lene sold Monday for $10.50 and
today for $10.6T and there was
considerable selling.
Cotton is now just four dollars
per bale lower than at the begin-
ning of the season having gained
today one dollar of thu five dol-
lars lost since the opening of the
cotton season.

A PICNIC
On Wednesday. 28th of Aug-
ust the members of the Agile
Club with a few friends went
out to the farm of T. M. Atkins
for an outing. Each one carried
a basket and at 2 o'clock the
dinner was spread. Every head
was reverently bowed while
Mrs. W. M. Lane asked the
blessing and then the picnic
began. All did the dinner full
justice and in some mysterious
way the dishes were washed.
Later came nice fresh water-
melons just off the vines. Just
before going home time came ice
cream. At a late nour the
guests departed after voting
Mrs. Atkins the most delightful
of hostesses. Those present
were Mesdames Lindsey Lane

In our rounds this week we
noticed a very fine display of
farm orchard and garden pro-
ducts in the large show windows
ofKimbro& Parks' real estate
office. This display is certainly
a credit to the firm and it is an
attractive advertisement of the
products of the Lubbock county
soil You can find ' a little of
everything that is grown in this
country in this collection and it
makes one want to go back to
the farm to look at the splendid
products as they stand a silent
advertiser for the South Plains.
