getic citizens of old Maury going away to
new States. We are constantly hearing
of young men going, aud that is bad
enough, but occasionally an old man,
whose whole life has been passed among
us, goes away among strangers One Of
thece latter is L. o. Cross, of Mt. Pleas
ant, who advertises his hotel for sale.

One ofour farmer subscribers saws that
if ii continues to rain two weeks longer
there will be no cotton raised in this
county. A great deal of the cotton is as
high as your head now, and some of it

will rot as fast as the bolls open.
