Dark clouds hover in the West and
peals of thunder roll across the murky
heavens and binding sheets of rain
dash upon the earth. The forest, with
its green rich foliage, is as motionless
as II ampshire's majestic hills. Not a
leaf or a twig is seen to move in the
vast silence of the forest. This altera-
ton is to give you some idea OF the dawn
of last Sunday.
For the last few days, farmers out here
have made considerable Roadway to-
wards the planting of another crop; all
are through planting corn, and some
cotton has been sOwn. The inunda-
tiOn of some ofthe cotton countries, lOur
farmers think will make the article
bring good price next fall.

Marsh Martin, John Carr, and Milton
Carr caught sOalo very fine trout last

in its body. 1t jumped up three times
about foot out of the water after
breaking the line.
