...abandonment of the business, I hoped the picture had shared the general dissolution as no one of the descendants was in a position to claim and house it. I thought often of the dear face and am deeply touched that its character should have found appreciation in your eyes.

By the end of the month, according to the U. S. Census Bureau's report last week, U. S. cotton textile mills had absorbed 7,361,700 bales of the South's great cash crop, thereby establishing in eleven months an all-time record for domestic consumption during the twelve-month cotton...
