The jackson Tribune says the country,
for some time past, has been deluged with
rains, and the farmers are now busy trying
to make Roadway against the weeds and
grass.
The Tiptcn Record of June "a, says that
the weather for the past four days had
been excessively hot, but it is the right
sort of weather for our farmers, who are
putting every effort forward to rid their
crop of corn and cotton of the grass which
was made to grow so great by the rains
OF last week. Altogether the prospect for
crops is better than we had hoped fol.
We clip the following sad casualty from
