The rain it raineth and (lie
winds are never weary. The cot¬
ton ana corn push through the
crust of eaitb softened by the
gentle rains. This has been one
year when the ground was never
too hard to plow in these parts.
There may bo a reduction in the
cotton acreage, but judging from
the time it takes-do finish plnnt-
j t) g we are i e( j j 0 believe tint* •’
reduction, if iIow *
anv the farmers
., . ..my be are
still eyp* in hope for fair price. Pro¬
a
bably Sully can do a good work
later. Ho has helped the farm¬
ers and with help he con do it
again.
JesseGlnwson lias nit so much
of the cotton and entered a n«w,
but not very inviting field. He
will be found in the future with
honey for sale. He get a new gum
from a'neighbor only a few nights
ago. After spreading a sheet over
the gum he made his way toward
home. The gum was a new one
and you uiay bee ure he got tired.
When he renched home, to his
utter surprise and disappointment
he found only half a dozen be«s
couched in one corner. Although
bis pros ects are not very favora¬
ble for an early supply of the
honey, he is engaging customers
to buy his goods. He is still in
with his few bees.
A L Harris is another farmer
whose sole dependence is not cen¬
tered on the cotton. He is rais¬
ing oats for the market. The
gentleman around Todd can get
all he wants from Mr Harris at
reduced prices. It is to your ad¬
vantage to see him at once for he
can supply you at present.
