However j there is much good corn and cotton, and wherever rain has been plentiful, there are some crops that are decidedly good. Auxiliary crops are late, but the energy of our farmers is without limit, and. we dare say the final harvest of the year will make a good showing. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Hays and daughter,.
