A few days ago a gentleman re-
lated to us an instance Of how one
of his neighbors disposed of his
eotton crop. He loaded his wagon
and started to market, a distance OF
twenty or more miles. He halted
at a neighboring grocery, in sight
of his own residence, to get a drink.
He tarried until he was induced,
by his own inclination or the per
suasion of others, to engage in a
game ofcards, The game continued
all that day, that night, and until
the middle of the next day ; the cot
ton, wagon andteamin the meantime
awaiting the result. When the
game was over the cotton planter
returned home on foot, minus cot
ton, wagon, team and all, which had
been won by his opponent.

We were visited by a refreshing
and opportune rain on Wednesday
and Wednesday night last. The
previous dry and cool weather had
considerably checked vegetation
and unplowed land had become SO
hard that it was difficult to break
it. The crops, especially cotton,
are generally backward but the
stands are good, and the fields free
from grass and well cultivated.
More corn has been planted this
year than was last, and the present
indications are that we will be
blessed with an abundant harvest.
