EDITOR RIPLEY ADVERTISER:
Dear Sir:-I send you to day a
cotton bloom plucked from my field
this morning. Cotton is about ten
days later i'll this neighborhood
than last season. We have bad
stands and with the seasons ever so
favorable can't make more cotton
than We did last year. Cora crops
are earlier tha last year, and the
most favorable prospects for a good
yield | have ever seen in this coun-
try. Our farmers generally are up
with their crops. Oar wheat aud
oats crops have been harvested: the
yield good, and never needed in
this section more than at present.
Yours truly,
