MARLIN PAYS FOURTEEN CENTS.

Henry Schroeder Enter The Market
--Wants 500 Bales.
-----

       Henry H. Schroeder, a well known farmer living east of town bulled the local cotton market Tuesday by posting a bid of 14 cents for the fleecy staple.
       When accosted by The Democrat for a reason for suddenly entering the field with such glowing colors, he intimated that it was none of our particular concern, so long as he paid the price and got the cotton.
       We agree with him and hope that he will get ten thousand bales at the above figure, or higher, and that he will make a handsome profit on each bale he buys.
