4 Nice Climate.

Writing from Calcutta, India, in
1887. Macaulay said eve are annual
ly baked four months boiled four more,
and allowed four more to get cool if
we can. At this moment the sun is
blazing like u furnace. The earth.
soaked with oceans of rain, is steam
ing like wet blanket. Vegetation is
rotting all around us. Insects and I'm.
dertakers are the only living creatures
that seem to enjoy the climate The
year before, in May of 1886, he'wrote :
Zone excerable effect the climate pro.
duces: It destroys all the works of
man. with scarcely an exception.
Steel rusts, razors lose their edge,
thread decays, clothes fall pieces
books molder away and drop out of
their bindings, plaster cracks, timber
rots, mating is in shreds. The sun
and the steam of this vast alluvia]
tract, and the infinite army of white
ants, make such havoc with buildings
that house requires complete repair
ing every three years.

For the Fayetteville Observer.

MoLINo, Tenn, May 22nd, '76.
Mr.. N. o. Wallace, Editor
Fayetteville Obsercer-Think-
ing that some of your many
readers would like to hear a lit
tie more from this part of the
country, l will write you an
other short letter. Everything
seems to be moving on smooth
and pleasantly down here; the
health of the neighborhood, |
believe, is very good at this
time. The farmers are busy
working over their crops; the
corn looks very we'll, but cot
ton is very backward. The
wheat crop looks promising; a.
bundant yield is expected if
nothing happens to it before
harvest. A large quantity of
sorghum cane seed has been
planted in this vicinity; some
farmers anticipate raising G.
nough for home consumption
and some to sell. We have
preaching down here every
fourth Sunday at Smiths Chap
ell at II o'clock a. M, by Rev.
Mr.. Barham, Methodist; and at
B o'clock p. m. at Beech Grove
{ Baptist) Church near the VIII
lage the same day. l hear of
no incidents over the neighbor-
hood worth noting since my
last iiting, more than Mr..
Green Pitts, young man who
lives near me, was so unfortu-
nate the other day as to lose a
very good horse, by a runaway.
spree. Mr.. Pitts was harrow
ing cotton, when the animal be-
came frightened at something
while at the end turning, and
ran off with great speed, and
getting tangled in the gear,
throwing him on his head, break
ing his neck, killing him in
stantly. Some of our neigh
bors are having fine sport catch
ing fish, trot-lining. Twas one
of q number the other day when
one was taken off of a line
weighing Z pounds.
Not wishing to weary your
readers, l will quit writing I'M
til | get more news.
