FORD.
Last Thursday, the 15th instant,
rain began falling in this vicinity
and continued with but little in
termission up to noon Friday. The
commencement came mild, and
from eveay appearance there was
no indication pointing to anything
serious, but during the latter part
of Thursday night a heavy gale of
wind set up and before noon Fri
day all the corn in this entire com
munity was laid flat on the giound
with quantities of it broken off.
The damage has not been fully es
timated yet, but we are of the
opinion that when a careful exam
ination is. made that the damage
will, if not exceed 15 percent., to
say nothing about the fodder loss.
The cotton crop was also lain flat
and some of it was broken off. It
seemed that the wind was blowing
straight but from the holes made
around the cotton stnlk, every
thing denoted that there was a
kind of twisting. Some of the
holes around the stalk will meas
ure three inches in diameter and
the depth goes down to where the
roots branch off, and we notice
many of the roots are broken. The
stalk in twisting around is bruised
considerably. Whether this will
prove damaging or not to the crop
will only be realized later on,
though many are of the opinion
that it is damaged to a limited ex
tent if not more,
Cariiss Dodi, of Atlanta, is
spending a few days with his par

Saturday, to the delight of her
many friends.
The peach crop of this section,
thiu h small, is being canned as
last as .t opens.
The ants, mosquitoes and flies
have certainly been making it very
interesting to everybody in this
section for the past two months.
The mosquito and fly are a well
known pest to every one but the
ant has never been a very frequent
visitor of the household until here
iately. Their numbers are almost
innumerable and what they are
after is hard to tell. Our curiosity
has been so much attracted by
their presence that we have made
them a point of study, but as yet
without effect. You may place
molasses down to them and they
crawl in and drown immediately,
Bread placed in their pathway
seems to have no attraction what
ever. Si gar strewn promiscuosly
on the flcor is passed over and over
again without molestation, and
just what they are after is so far
ebscure from us. One thing, how
ever, we do know —they are surely
the worst pest that has ever taken
up their abode in the house, and
something to exterminate them
would be hailed with delight".
Not long ago vve stood on the
spot where a federal was killed in
a running fight at a distance < f
about 409 yards, the ball taking
effect where his suspenders
crossed, penetrating through his
entire body. After spending some
little time on the spot we turned
our face homeward, brooding over
the many tragic incidents of the
war. Vve had not proceeded a
great way before it was our privi
lege to meet up with one of the old
ante b. Hum darkies. Age had
made many inroads on his form,
yet in this decrepid condition there
was something in his general make
up admirable, We told him after
receiving his congratulations in
the ‘"old ante-bellum way,” that
we had been visiting the spot
where a j ankee was killed during
the war, to which he paid the
strictest attention and when w r e
had finished our story, that old
form and head, which was seaied
over with the frost of 80 odd years
quivered and stra’ghtened up al
most to a soldier’s position, and
turning his dim eyes into the deep
blue vault above, he said: “Well
Massa, it am mighty bad ter speak
er wish bad things about any one
but I’se er’blige ter say dat I wish
every one of dem daugh yankees
had #r got a ball drove right in
the cross of de gallowses where
dat one did den I would be wid all
my race enjoying cat heads and
fat bacon wid plenty of close too —
but, as it is, days passes ober dis
gray old colored persons head
wid not a bite to eat nor clo’s to
wear and no friends ter pity.” At
this moment the old darky pushed
off into sobs and tears and I bade
him good day aud resumed ny
march homeward. I could not
for even days get him out of my
mind. I ielt sorry for him then
and do yjt and will say that in his
last remarks there is more truth
than poetry and no doubt in my
mind but what there are thousands
of the colored race today would
think it a sweet release to be back
under the protecting care of “Old
Massa.”
We notice the same old bug
which produced such disastrous
effect on the Irish potato crop this
year, has made his appearance in
the turnip patches and vve guess if
he succeeds as well there as else
where, all hopes can be dismissed
on the turnip question, for he is
most sure to stick to his business
as long as anything remains to
stick on.
Rev. John A. McMurry, of Lin
wood. is visiting the home of Mr.
and Mrs. G. M. Isbell.
About as heavy rainfall as has
ever yisited this section fell here
last Sunday evening. It com
menced about half after three
o’clock and from that on Vo three
o’clock Monday morning there was
just one cloud after another and
at the present writing heavy clouds
can be seen low down in ihevvest.
The agricultural departments of
the government are flooding the
country with crop reports. The
figuring is all up to date and we
doubt very much that if the largest
majority of those who have been
so busy for some time estimating
the present crop were placed in a
cotton field that they wouldnt know
what it was. Farmers should pay
no attention to crop estimaters; if
they want to find out the crop
situation let them come to the
field in person.

People are already crying out 1
hard tunes next year, long before}
