Crop* in Taylor. .
From the early part of the spring
up to three weeks ago we have re
ceived the news of the most flat
tering prospects of all manner of
vegetation that has been known in
this county for quite a number of
ysarsj the farmers generally seem
ed to think that their lands could
not produce a tnsre bountefrtl
yield, but in the last three weeks
there seems to be rather a change
of mind. They do aot wear that
smiling appearance which they
did in the early part of the spring.
But we cannot see why they should
not feel eneonraged. It is true we
have had neatly three weeks of dry
and disageeatdy warm weather,
and no doubt the crops hate been
injured toa certain extent,but from
ail information tvu have gained
from farmers in different parts of
the county, the crops of both corn
and cotton, are remaikablv good,
in fact, much better than for sev
eral years past, as we have not
suffered for rain as some portions
of the .State, We feel confident
therefore to state that a sufficient
quantity of corn will he made in
this county to amply supply the
demand.
