Judgment was confirmed by the supreme

Piled with a recommendation to the Cover

IN this city, awaiting the action Of the

COTTON STALKS AND BLoOMs.-Wc
were shown ON Tuesday, three stalks OF
cotton two and half feet high, well
branchrd, containing thirty-two squares to
the stalk aud two blooms The cotton was
raised 10y Ell Martin, eolOred, on the farm
Of Mr.. Ben. Long, SIX or seven miles West
Of the City. We venture 10 say that they
are the finest stalks Of the season. and con-
tanned the first bloom. Eli Martin deserves
credit for bis industry, for we learn that he
has clean aud very promising crop.
Mr.. d. {. Talley says he had blooms on
Monday last.
CR0rs.-We have t4Asn s-eat pains to
asoertain the condition of the crops in this
county, and we are gratided to state that 1t
Is far better than we expected. The rains
have not been general, and while there has
been too much, yet the crops are generally
vigorous and healthy. There Is more OF
less grass, but the clear days of last and
this week have worked great change for
the better in this rospeJi. Ten days Of
far weather y IN be sufficient to redeem
the fields from grass and insure fair
yields. Corn is looking exceptionally well;
ssd without a drouth in July, will yield
over an average crop: Cotton is healthy
but in some disirirti seriously threatened
by the grasses. whllo in others it is compar-
atiyely clean and promising. In short. at
tins Writing, the crops IN Madison county
are ordinarily promising, while in our sister
county. Of henderson they are quito 50.
The acreage in cotton this season is con-
siderable in excess Of the last.
