Rice cutting has commenced on
several farms, and will become gen
cral next week. The yield is reported
quite satisfactory.-MeschaceJe.
.Er The yi,.d of wheat throughout
Maryland this season has been unus-
ually large. In some favored local
tiles the return is unprecedented.
,y The crop prospect continues
good. We hear some complaints of
dry weather, but in the vicinity of
Brashear we are having plenty rain.-
B,ushear Neus.
- Cotton estimatoIs will be sadly
disappointed in the outcome of the
present crop. If it continues to shed
as it is doing now, the estimate will
fall short one-third at least.-Raton

70 From present indications the
Republicans OF Terrebonne will be a

ry We have heard no complaints
of worms, Notwithstanding the album
dance of rain that has fallen and con-
tinues to fall so that the old theory
that wet weather is favorable to their
propagation does not seem to hold
good. .-RichlGsa Beacon.
~ The crops in this section are
still very promising, but should the
weather continue as it has for the
past two weeks, the planters will
have nothing but stalks in their fields.
The crops have all been laid aside
and hands are now busy repairing
gins and cotton houses, and cutting
wood. Picking will commence in a
few days.-Coneordia Eagle.
lB Rice is undergoing at present
the operation of cutting and stacking
preparatory to being tllreshed. A
glance at the rice fields in the neigh
borhooi reveals gratifying pros
,pect. Under the influence of the un-
common warm weather we are hay-
ing, it has rapidly matured, and large
returns will be gathered, the average
anticipated being 10 barrels per acre.
The quality will be good.-St- Ckartes
Herald.
ry Last week. near Waslington
in this parish, q raccoon entered the
cabin Of colored man named Lastie
Thiepy, seized his child six months
old or less by the leg and dragged it
out of the house. The mother came
to its rescue but was unable to make
the coon let go its hold. Her hus-
band came to her assistance. and
choked the coon loose. They killed

The recent rains have had a

the happiness of planters but con-
..radiction of Prof. Tees prediction
of an early freeze. While the rain
was sufficient for the crops it was not
heavy enough to prevent wood haul
ing, and that WAS just the kind OF
rain we wanted. Owners and agents

this time, and happy is the rice plan
