be considered rs made. Everybody talks of

400 bushels at 20 cents per bushels, to be de-
livered in the fall
Marlin Falls county, Leader: The crops
were never better. A good corn crop is as.
sured, though no more rain should fall, but
of course the crop would be heavier with an
other rain in ten or fifteen days. Cotton is
fine.

Thursday. way corn and cotton is
now growing since the rains is surprising
The watermelon crop of Coryell county bids
fair to be enormous this year.
