First, as regards the crop prospects In
some portions of the county, the average
will be very good indeed, while in others
there will be but little better yield than
last year. In what is called the McIva
neighborhood, some ten or twelve, miles
west Of Ssrdis, the upper portion Of the
neighborhood has suffered severely for
want Of rain, while the lower portion
has been almost inundated. Thus, In
the case Of two persons living within a
mile or two Of each other, the one

other from an excess Of it On the whole,
however, Pamela county may, i think
be counted on for an average crop.
Sardis is rapidly recovering from the
destructive fire which visited that place
