the door, called for Mf*. Walker and
then without stopping to say a word
ran away as fast as possible. Mrs.
Walker hurried into the room, to find
her husband breathing his last.
From an Intelligent colored woman,
neighbor of Mrs. Walker, the follow
ing particulars were obtained: "Dat
conjuring doctress,” said tho woman
“came round to Hilyard’s yesterday
and said dat she had found ont what
was wrong with Ifilyard. Some ono
had thrown a frog at him, and It was
his best friend did it, too. Tho witch
scattered salt in Hilyard’s room, and
stuck pins in his door some queer way,
and passed a white string around
them. Then she tore up the front
steps of Hilyard’s houso and put some
more pins nnder it and a stick with
some marks on Hand told Mrs. Walker
that the first one who esme would bo
the one that witched her husband.”
In reply to a question whether anyone
had come in, the woman said: “Oh,
res; one of Walker's best friends como

think that witch doctress blamed it on
him for making Walker sick.’’
When asked if anything would bo
done toward prosecuting the sorceress,
the woman said: "Laws, no; they
don’t dare. Why, that conjuringdoc

Elbert county: With but few excep
tions tho county is blessed with fine
crops of corn, cotton, etc., and tho peo-
>le feel more hopeful and happy than
or years
Gwinnett county: Corn as good as
tho land will produce. Of cotton the
yield will not be as heavy as was ex'
pected. No caterpillars, but somo com
plaint of rust.
A man in Fayette connty has a few
acres of cotton so largo that the stalks
will support the weight of a good sized
boy. It is said that asblgh as 400 bolls
have been counted on one stalk.
Bast has damaged cotton in some
sections of Houston county, and cater
pillars havo appeared, bnt it is not ap
prehended that any great destruction
will follow. The crop will be a good
one.
Clay county: Bcoorts from all direc
tions are that much more cotton is now
open in the fields than is nsnal at this
time of the year, and if tho favorable
weather continues picking will soon be
over.

Notwithstanding the dry streaks
scattered over the cotton bolt, the

Whitfield comity: The general report
ot tho cotton crop throughout this sec
tion la moat encouraging. Every plant
er says that tho largest crop of tho sta-
ffe'aince the war will be gathered next
all. Tho seasons have been most pro
pitious for the growth ot the crop, and
with no unforeseen disaster, wo may
expect a verification of the encouraging
reports.
Montezuma letter: W. H. Harrison,
Jr., showed us a cotton stalk this
morning that had been stripped of
every leaf and boll by the caterpillar,
and says it represents one hundred
acres, all of which is in the same con
dition. The stalk was four feet high
and well limbed. Col. M. J. Hatcher’s
and others farms adjoining his, are in
the same condition. Rust and cater
pillars have reduced the crops at least
forty per cent, all through this section
of country.
Not a day passes that we do not hear
discouraging reports from the farmers
concerning the prospects of the cotton
crop. A gentleman writing from the
neighborhood ol Box Spring says the
rust is doing great damage. Another
gentleman from Marvyn, in an opposite
direction from the city, makes a simi
lar report. The caterpillars are also
beginning to get in their work, and be
tween tho two tho crop is likely to be
cat short 25 per cent. Some farmers
say the crop will bo no larger than it

AnObst.rpircu. Port)
A short time ago Hon. W. C. Shef

a well in the bed ol a pond which he
wished drained off in order that he
might cultivate it. The well was dug
and a subterranean stream reached,
but instead ot tbs water in the pond
running out through tho well into tho
earth, the water in the underground
stream flowed np through tho well and
made the pond larger, drowning oat
r.n acre or more of cotton. Not satisfied
to let matters rest in this state, Mr.
Sheffield had Mr. Blackwell to dig a
ditch from tho pond into his mill pond
near by, when lo! and behold! instead
of the smaller pond running into the
mill pond, the mill pond ran ont into
the little one, ovcrtlowing its banks so
much that twenty acres of cotton were
destroyed.—Blakely News.
