IN good humor Good crops set well on every
body and make many pleasant faces. Truly
this season The saying, The aborcr is worthy of
his hire, is being verified in q bounteous harvest
Both cotton and corn nrc good, and while large
part OF the cotton crop has found its way 10
market, there is still a great deal ungaihered.

yield promises we'll. We doubt if in many years
people have worked better than this fall or have
Kept nearer up with their crops. On the road
|e constantly met wagons coming to market
with hlty or one hundred dollars in cotton on
them, while on all sides hands wcrc busy gather

Of debt and had year of supplies ON bond
