corn crop made in this section that has been
made within the memory Of the Oldest inhabit-

missing, owing to the late spring, and the large

June, cotton is some two or three weeks more
backward than usual Nothing. we think, short
of very late fall and the most propitious seasons

information from several directions leads US
to believe, says the Columbus tGa3 Enquirer of
the 25th instant, that much Improvement in the
crops, both of cotton and corn, has resulted
from the late rains. i In fact, in many sections,
particularly South and West Of US. the general
prospect has not been more encouraging for
years, We hope We may be spared the record
of disasters, such as rust, boil worm and cater

hopes of the planter, even when his anticipations
