Judging from all that we have been able to learn
from farmers located in different parts Of the parish
IN regard to the corn and cotton crops Of Morehouse
we have no doubt that there will be finer crops made
year than there has been for the last ten Or fifteen
years provided the farmers have as favorable sea

had receded, though, in the meantime suffering ex-

he received on his ankle and from the effects Of which
he is now lying very i'll at the house Of that noble and
honorable though sorely afflicted husband and father,
