The Point Connee Echo SAYS:

We have had beautiful growing weather
for cotton throughout the whole week past
Not one drop of rain has fallen, although
the sky has been frequently overcast with
clouds that occasionally shaded the plants
from the heat of the sun, which has been
almost excessive. Heavy dews have fallen
at night, furnishing sufficient moisture. A
few weeks more of such weather would put
our cotton crops in a flOurishing condition.
Our planters are sadly in need of good
weather, for the crops are so far behind
hand A rainy spell setting in now would
discourage beyond measure. Those who
have young corn that has been worked over
since the rain would not regret to see a
moderate shower.
