The GROWING Corn AND CoTToN-It is
pleasant to record the prospect of fine
crop of breadstuffs. Unless some unfor-
seen disaster occurs " the staff of life will
be abundant throughout this entire section
while the indications are that no such crop
has been raised in the South for many
years. In our own immediate vicinity, the
farmers will strip fodder in few days, and
IL no storm should occur before the 1st of
September, the great danger from that
source will be averted.
The cotton crop is, in like manner, good !;
and will prove remunerative, at fair prices,
