Ginnery and Contents Burned.
The Green ginnery at Julia was
destroyed by fire last Friday afternoon
md nearly thirty hales of cotton burn
ed with it. Th« cause of the fire is
not known positively, hut it was
thought to be from the machinery, in
some way. It was discover'd uu
r
stairs, and was so quick that it was
impossible to check it. at all.
The greatest sufferer by it was Mr.
W irren Smith, who h-st seven bales of
cotton, the remainder being shared by
i number of others in small lots.
The ginpery was owned by several
stockholders, we understand, and there
was no insurance. Arrangements were
made at once to procure a new ou fit,
and work is expected to be resumed
again next Monday.
Mr. Jeff Green had the misfortune
to be painfully burned in working with
the fire, but is now able to he up and
about again.
Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Atla Ga., Sept. 22. 1890
With the reception of scattered
showers, most of which were too light
to be of much benefit, the past week
has differed in no respect from those
preceding. High temperature ami ex
cessive sunshine were khe characteris
tic features until Saturday night, when
a cool wave reached this section, and ittw
effects are still felt. Ruiu has fallen
in most sections of the State during the
past forty eight hours, hut not enough
to revive pastures and renew the wa
ter supply, which has grown alarming
ly scarce. Wells, streams aud springs
are failing very fast. In some locali
ties water has to be hauled for family
use. Cotton is all open, and is being
picked rapidly. Most of the crop will
have been housed by the middle of
next month. Some planters have al
ready finished picking. Some corn is
being gathered. This crop is being
neglected by farmers, who are devoting
I their time and energy to saving cotton
before it is injured by wind and rain
This crop will yield tjibout 50 per cent
of the normal. Corn is turning out
1 fairly good, aud is ready to gather.
Teas, potato' s and all minor crops are
a totH 1 failure iu most sections, and
cinnot he hen i-.ltcd by rain. The
grasses and pastures are badly parched,
| hut would be greatly revived by good
soaking rains.
While the true Ametican does not
believe in a king, he will bet his last
i cml on four of them.
