Refreshing Rains--Storms.
On Thursday evening and Friday last the
people Of this vicinity rcjoiced in the belief that
every portion of the County waS receiving
generous fall of rain and the long drought had
tended:'>Ine, clouds presented one unbroken
dark mass MS far as The eye Gould reach. the
gain fell gently in three showers for about two
hours each and the atmosphere became delight
fully cool and damp. The prospect was certain
ly cheering but, as before during the Spring
and this far in the Summer, our hopes were
short lived. After giving only enough rain to
moisten the soil about two inches the clouds be-
gan to separate and move rapidly oil around us.
Vivid flashes of lightning and low thunder were
seen and heard in every direction nearly all
day Friday, the clouds still tantalizing us by
threatening rain. Since then no rain has fall
len here, and the crops around us are now suf-
fering almost as much as before.
In some sections, we are informed, they were
visited on Thursday with q most destructive
storm of wind, hail and ain, doing much dam
age to the crops. At Berry Alverson's farm, in
the neighborhood of Padgett's Creek church, it
ives rcry y2estSpctive. cutting the corn fodder
into ribbons, Howingsit down badly and com
plctcly stripping the cotton stalks of their
leaves, squares and blooms. Large oak trees
were stripped of branches of all sizes and
the fields at some distance strewn with
them. Barns and stables were blown down and
houses unroofed. Two.thrds of log cabin was
blown off and negro woman, in bed with
child few days old exposed to the terrible STORM
We also learn that similar storm, though not so
destructive, visited the ncighborhood of Duck
Pond church OH the same afternoon.
In some parts of the County no rain has fallen,
to d. any good, for three months.
Will not some one in every township Mt least,
give us q true condition of the crops in their
respective townships or neghborhoods ? 1t will
be interesting information from and to each
part Of the County.

For the Times.
Mr.. EpIron IL read Mr.. IIogans account Of
his crop on two-horsc farm with great deal
of interest and I am satisfied what he knows
about farming is very different from Horace
Greely's "what know about farming" talks.
But was surprised that Mr.. Hogan didn't put
down the cost of his fertilizers. He could hard
ly make such crop without the use of fertili
zers. If hs made his own fertilizers presume
they were charged up with the labor. 1t would
have been more satisfactory If he had stated the
number of acres allotted to each crop. Young
farmers arc always at q loss about how "to pitch
a CROP and manage it in such way as never
to be pushed to the wall. heard Mr.. Hogan
once say that the great secret Of managing q crop
was to work it fast and get it off your hands as
quick as phssible. There wac sound common
sensc-push your stalk TO n healthy maturity
and then let nature work out the problem. DR..
Fowler 8 oat crop was q remarkable one. 1t is
n little singular how so many persons lost their
oat crop, or almost made failures this year by
freezing out, while others made such magnificent
crops. 1t is very important to cipher out this
problem. The oat crop Is destined to revoiu-
tionize our farming If we can make it reliable.
The character Of soils, time of sowing, depth of
sowing, kind Of plow used, all should be lookel
into. There is no reason why one man should

tural Society, at the meeting TO be held to-mor.
row. While the counties around us are making
every effort to organize Societies like it will
not do for the Farmers of Union County TO lose
their good name for thrift and enterprise by al.
lowing their Association to flag for the want Of
interest in its annual Fair. The meeting to.
morrow will be very interesting and profitable
to all who attend, and none should be absent who
can possibly be there. Other Counties are boas-
ting that they will excel Union at their next
Fair. Shall they take the ribbons from us ?
That is for the Farmers of Union to decide.

A Revolving Outrage.

Revolving Outrage.
1t falls to our lot this week to record one of
the most diabolical outrages that was ever per-
petrated in this country The circumstances
are these
Mr. A. ID. Humphries and his wife, living
four miles from town, near Sardis Church, on
wednesday evening left their infant daughter
aged about years and months, in the care of
negro boy, named Ed. Holmes, aged about l6
years, while they went to church. On their re-
turn the mother discovered that the child was
very bloody and her screams brought neighbors
to the house. DR.. Beatty was Immediately sent
for, and upon examination discovered that the
little creature had been outraged in a most hor-
rible manner. AS the parents went into the
house the negro boy passed them, going out, and
and at last report was at large; but we think ho
cannot long escape the vigilant search of the
excited citizens who are after him. II is sup
posed to be impossible for the child to live The
simple recital Of this most revolving outrage
makes the Hood curdle in our veins.
