every one admits this, and everywhere

Military organizations, fire companies.

have no military or fire companies,
more is the pity. but we have schools,
temperance societies, Odd Fellows, Ma

had almost forgotten peg factory and
an incipient agricultural am! mechani-

somewhere and have Il big time No
other town in the State can boast Il:
many pretty girls and charming ladies,
while the number fgay youths and mel

,aDISAPpOINTHHNT.-The failure oftlle
Rev. J. Hawkins to arrive and fill his
appointment at Beth Eden on lust Sab
bath, WAS :, serious disappointment tc
the many friends who went from far and
near to see and hear him once more.
The distance travelled BY not 4 few was
considerable. What caused the failure
we have not ascertaincd, but it must
have been i difficulty which the Rev
erend gentleman could not surnount,
otherwise he would have gladly met his
old charge. We hope still that before
he returns to Virginia, he will be able
to visit Beth Eden section.

now bound for the South, after which
it will be sent to the Pacific coast.

wonderful myth. In company with
a number of his warm friends we
,c0pe tear over his ashes.

a knife, when bystanders interfered
and separated them. The ono who
used the knife was arrested and fined

Crops.

NEoPNs
In conversation with "n intelligent
resident of the q district. Il few DAYS
ago, on the condition Of the growing
crops, he told Us he was confident that
the crops in his district were fully
twenty per cent. below wh;T they were
year ago. In the Northern part of
the district, where rains were more
plentiful, the yield is about ten per
cent. below last year, while in the cen
trail and southern portions, where but
littale rain fell, the crops are cut short
in a proportionate manner. He also
reported that the squares were drop
ping off the cotton to a considerable
extent. In the 1st district the aver
ago is thought to be at Last 70 per
cent. below last years crop. One far
mer, a resident of that district, SAYS
that from present indications, the
yield will be about onc-foarth what ii
was last year. lie said that he had
thirty acres in cotton, and woull will
inglt take three bales for It's entire
yield, while forty-fve acres ofhis corn
would not make a half barrel to the
acre.
Mr.. J. r. Marcum informs us that
the squares are dropping off the cot
ton in his neighborhood to an alarm
ing extent. He thinks that fully
one-third the squares have dropped
off his cotton. Farmers seem to be
very much depressed in spirits on ac-
connt of the present unfiyorallc in
dications; though we trust that pro-
pitiOus seasons from this time forward |
may bring the crops out and dispcl /
their gloom.
