Altogether the early season opens suspiciously
for the farmer—Marietta Journal.
Tho Chronicle* aud Sentinel reports a good
breadth of corn planted in Burke, Jefferson and
Scriven counties. It is advised that quite a num
ber of planters have their cotton “chopped out.”
This region also has purchased tndapplied fertil
izer* freely. We hear of many farmers who have
applied “guanos" to their lands to the amount ot
fifteen dollars per acre. Cotton however, seems
o be a general rule, and tho chief reliance fo
bread and meat, and if eotton tails or “fetches
a low price," rations will be short- Similar ac
counts reaches tin from Middle Georgia, and
thus far the season, although late, opens well.
From the river counties north of theso cornea to
us no grumbling about the seasons or bed seed,
but there is a great complaint about shortness of
uands. But in every instance which we have been
ablo to make a teat, we find the complaint is not
^rounded upon any deficiency as compared with
iast year. Tho general admission Is that there is a
urge increase upon tho number employed last

number planters desired aud bad the ability to

ple, where none but priests had never before
been admitted, she was permitted unrebnked to
use for him the sacred vessels, which nono but
the high priest dare touch, and to even overturn
and ait on one of their gode to rest; rU through
