eluded the a hole of north Georgia, in
addition to smaller showers throughout
the entire southern portion of tho
country. The exfcut of the damage, to
the cottoh crop has not been reported,
as direct information from all the ata

to the crops has been very great, espec
ia!iy in tho neighborhood of Atlanta.
The rainfall in this locality has been
greater than at any timo since 1H79,
and the face of the country for miles
around has beon plowed hy the gush¬
ing streams of water that have broken
loose from the clouds and swept down
the sides of the hills like mountain
torrents.
A number of washouts havobeen re¬
ported along the country roads and

hood of Atlanta b*vc been very greatly
