Aberdeen Examiner Y The drouth
of 1874, that proved SO disastrous to
the corn and cotton crops, Of this region,
set in on the 3rd Of May, and lasted
until the 24th of June. It's hardly
reasonable to anticipate a similar season
in 1875, but should it come it will find
our farmers better prepared for it than
ever before.
Aberdeen Republican The crop
prospect in Monroe county, compared
with the last few years, is fattering.
The soil is generally well prepared,
and a good stand of corn and cotton is
the result. The late heavy rains and
hail have damaged crops some, but

flowed and planted in corn. The

the county, are now being
lied can be taken as a cheering sign
f the future prosperity of our people.
