WAXAHACHIE DAILY LIGHT, 24 Sep 1909, pg 3:

Cotton From Dallas County

Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hinkle of Cedar Hill, Dallas county, were in the city Friday. Mr. Hinkle brought cotton to Waxahachie and sold it for $4.80 in the seed. He says he was offered only $4.40 in his home market, but hearing of the high price paid here he decided that it would be money in his pocket to bring it to Waxahachie.
