cotton being held in the warehouse,
at the compress, at gins and through-
out the country, farmers believing
that better prices will prevail. • The
best price today was 12 cents. The
receipts to date are:
Farmers Union yard ......................5,131
Compress, local ..............................2,766
Total local ......................................7,897
Compress, railroad ........................5,501
Local receipts last year this date,
13,582; price 6.75c.
Comparing the receipts of cotton
last year with this, and constdering
the price paid last year with what the
farmer is receiving at the present
time, our cotton to date has brought
the farmers of this county $50,000
more money than they received last
year. This does not take into consid-
eration the saving in picking this
year’s crop.
Last year many farmers had to pay
money borrowed to buy feed, while
this year few farmers had to purchase
any feed and from the abundance of
grain and other feed crops made in
1915, less money will go out of the
county in the future for that purpose
Viewing the situation as a whole our
farmers are in much better condition,
financially, than they were a year ago.

One of the prettiest weddings of the
season occurrred at the country home
of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Trigg, two miles
north of Snatchem, in this county, Nov.
28, at 2:30 o’clock, when Rev. Ben S.
Crow pronounced the sacred ceremony
which joined together the hearts and
hands of Miss Jessie Trigg and Mr.
William Brown, while the bride’s sis-
ter, Miss Sallie, played the sweet mus-
ic, "True Love Never Dies.” The
brides sister, Miss Ollie Trigg, was
bridesmaid, while the bridegroom’s
brother, Dewey Brown, acted as best
man. Little Misses Nellie Mae Trigg
and Esther Brown acted as flower
girls, strewing the beautiful red apd
white carnations along the bride’s
path. ,The bride was gowned in beau-
tiful yellow messaline and carried
a lovely bouquet of orange blossoms.
The bridegroom was dressed in con-
ventional black. The house was beau-
tifully decorated In red and white car-
nations and clusters of yellow chry-
santhemums and lovely ferns. The
bridesmaid was gowned in a dainty
white messaline and wore a wreath of
yellow chrysanthemums. It was a
quiet affair, only relatives and a few
their most intimate friends being
present. The bride’s going-away cos-
tume was a blue gaberdine trimmed
with rich brown fur. Immediately af-
ter the ceremony the happy couple de-
parted for Mineral Wells. They will
visit Fort Worth and other cities be-
fore returning home. The bride is a
very highly respected young lady and
loved by all who kn^w her. The bride-
groom is a prosperous farmer aad
stockraiser, having been a resident of
Parker county for many years. They
will be at home after Jannary' 1 at
the headquarters of the Brown plan-
tation. The many friends wish for th«
happy yohng couple a long and pros-
perous life. 8.
