There was a good number went to Memphis this morning on the early train to attend the tri-state fair. The total, however, is far below that of last year. On special day last year there were 284 tickets sold. This year there were less than 200 sold on that date.

The weather has been a bit unfavorable though the past few days no objection could be filed unless it was to the effect that mercury went too high. And even at that it has not been so warm as last year.

Cotton continues to come in rapidly and also continues to remain at a very low figure. Tuesday afternoon it dropped below 13 cents the pound.

One man brought two bales on one wagon this week but they graded a cent a pound difference because of the difference in the gathering. One was clean and white and the other was trashy and dirty. The difference of $5 the bale would pay for at least a little care in handling.

In the city today are F.M. Black and Frank Guyton of Memphis, completing the arrangements started here a few days ago looking to the establishment of a regular mule barn here for the winter and as a permanency.

There have rented the Striplin barn and the Liddon barn on Wick street and have had workmen busy tearing out the stalls and converting the interior into pens for the handling of mules in groups. This work is now about complete and the firm now has about sixty mules on hand. Two or three car loads will arrive during the next few days and the total number on hand will be approximately one hundred.

This number is to be maintained regularly, being replenished from time to time from the various mule markets of the country, as the supply on hand is depleted by local sales.

A capitol of $25,000 will be used in the maintenance of these barns and the business to be transacted. This is to be an assembling point from the outside markets, and a distributing point to the farmers of this section, extending into the Tennessee river territory.

For a number of years he has been engaged in selling mules thru this territory, and he is well known to the farmers of North Mississippi and several counties in Middle and West Tennessee, Mr. Guyton, the man with whom Mr. Black is interested in the business, is one of the most extensive mule dealers in the United States and is a member of the firm of Guyton & Harrington at Memphis, His firm handled mules for the government during the world war.
