LITTLE RooE, ARE, May 26.-Latcst crop
reports from oyer the entire State indicate
an improved condition. Most of the com.
plaints are caused by the late ircslets,
which compelled the replanting Of consid.
erable cotton, and by the cold nights, which
damaged the cotton. No damage is done
anywhere to fruit, and wheat is turning out
well. The last few days the weather has
been bright and tho nights warm. Good
effects are already being seen on cotton,
which is now growing rapidly wherever
left undamaged by the foods.
