the effect of the late genial showers, our crops of

from various sections of the county, in attendance
on the Democratic meeting, and was happy to

awe have of late been blessed with abundant rains
Corn and cotton growing finely, and look well.
Wheat crops nearly ready for harvesting
and promise abundant yield. Some farmers
complain of a rust, but there is not enough of this
to create panic in the -four market. The oat crop
was thrown back by the late dry weather. but the
bountiful rains during the last week have produced
fine effect upon this particular crop, and it bids
! fair to yield well. What is to be done with the
| grain? Echo answers, what!'
We are pleased to hear that the wheat crop q
this District, which is now being harvested turns
out well. The rust has done but little damage
and the crop will be as large as last year. Corn
is looking well. In fact, we have heard that il
never looked better at this season of the year.
Cotton is recovering from the frost and cold. 1t is
somewhat backward, but looks healthy. From ap
pearances there will be good yield of fruit-Laa

Within the past week all parts of the District have
been visited with copious showers of rain The
