sufficient quantity of rain, the corn crop
on all sides Of fernando, for miles, has
been cut off to heavy extent. In fact,
some farmers will hardly make respect

regarded as OtficiOus, when we suggest
to the managers OF the Mobile and Ohio
railroad that they are possibly guilty OF
a great oversight in giving the energy
and capital they devote to the cause OF
