Sidewalk Letter.
Oh TIE SIDEWALK,
Sept. 70, 1881

the Rain. Thursday and Friday
brought the most complete, cOpious,
steady, and beneficial rain Of the year.
The earth Is saturated, the streams are
full, and the grass is growing. Alas for
the corn, Il is too late for grain to be
added to the cob, but do belive the
grains already made will be fuller and
better from the present rain. The fodder
will be kept green until It can be taken,
and fall pastures will for couple Of
months keep stock out Of the cribs. The
peach crop is very large, and though
the fruit be small In size, the price Ia
very high for the dried article. Even
green peaches are taken ut the Depot at
from rs to 10 cents per bushel. Some
persons tell me six bushels Of green
peaches will he required TO make one Of
the dried. I notice disposition to sell
aud get rid of rs much stock rs possible
before the winter sets In. In the
southern horse markets, the cotton
states, people arc trying to send their
horses and mules to this country to be
wintcrcd. One man has offered u lead
Ing farmer Of this county the wintcring
of twenty-five horses and mules, reserv-
Ing 10 himself the right Of an equal d.
division Of them next spring, except
that The cotton planter reserves the right
| to make the first choice and the Va.
farmer 10 take second. The offer was
declined. After all find the corn crop
IN county l. better than has been expect
ed. Tobacco IL considerably shortened
by the drought, but the quality will I've
fair.

least have interested people on the side
