The oat crop was damaged to
some extent by the recent severe
cold snap, though 1 think a suffi¬
cient stand is left to make a fair
crop, with no other backset, and
with favorable seasons from nbw
until the grain is matured.
Our farmers are very badly be¬
hind with their farm work, owing
to so much bad weather, though
they have been putting in double
quick time for the past two weeks.
We know of but very few who are
auything like prepared to plant
corn. Garden sowing is in general
order now. Owing to so much
cold, rainy weather about the us¬
ual garden planting time, this
important work was considerably
belated.
Some time before Christmas
Bill Hendrix, a white man of this
vicinity, left his wife and two
children to the mercy of the world
without means of support what
ever, and went i*> parts unknown,
but has since been heard from in
Florida. He wrote to a friend re¬
cently that he intended marrying
again soon. Such men as this
should be made to answer to the
law for their rascality. We wife are
reliably informed that his
and children are actually on the
verge of suffering tor fond and

have Hendrix in hand tor awhile,
