In 1891 a Washington county planter stored eighty bales of cotton in a brick warehouse after rejecting offers of 9 and later 110 cents per pound. He held the stock for seven years as prices fell to about one half, and he remains hopeful it will sell this season rather than unsold. The marriages listed include Harvey to Hays, Honeeny to Bayenski, and several other pairs.
