gathering tbe fleecy staple and the
hum of the gin is making merry in
our town again.

A few days of sunshine has acted
l ; ke a magic in dispelling the gloom
that was gathering upon the spirits of
oui farming population. They find
that crops generally were not damag¬
ed to any great extent by the recent
rains, and are cheerful in prospect of
an abundant harvest. One of the
best farmers of the county gives it as
his opinion that the cotton crop this
year will be the largest made in sev¬
eral years. Another says that one
fourth of his present crop could be cut
off, and he would make more cotton
than he has for years. Altogether
the outlook for an unusual yield in
corn and cotton is most hopeful.
