good, but the season has been unfavorable
for low and imperfectly drained lands.

Something About the Crops.
The talk about the crops has undergone a com
plete change in its character within the past few
weeks. A month ago everybody was gloomy,
but now everybody seems to be bright and cheer
ful. The corn crop is said to be splendid and the
cotton crop promises a good yield.
The Meriwether Vindicator has the following
interesting crop paragraphs: lvuuoUJJ UA ,, aoumgwu AWUBO i4i
“Mr. B. F. Tigner says he has ten acres of the j Simth, of Gate City Guards; B. Russell,
finest peas to be found in all his neighborhood. * ' ~
He has large quantities already ripe in the field.
“Mr. Tlios. S. Wright says his bottom corn is
just as good as heart can wish. His neighbors
say it reminds them of the stc ries of Egypt’s
seven years of plenty.
“The farmers in town last Tuesday 'gave most
encouraging reports of the corn and cotton crops.
If the fall fulfills the present promise the county
will be blessed with overflowing abundance. So
mote it be.
“Mr. Monroe Davidson says he has the biggest
and best cotton crop he ever had. Mr. Davidson
also says he never saw such a year for raising
corn. He says with favoring seasons he has acres
that will make a bale per acre. Competent
judges say Mr. Davidson ought to make 200 bales
of cotton. His corn crop is mag niticent.”
