such as exposure in night-clothes and fright,

concerned, l take it to be trifling. But from
setback to planters and the washing away
of bridges and fences. the damage must be
considerable.

around us have had 10 replant their cotton
on account OF frost. Some were wise enough
to substitute corn for cotton"
jackson Tribune: "The early peaches in
this section are large as hen eggs. Wheat
has come out wonderfully in the last week,
and at the present writing the prospect is
very fine. 1t is estimated that the harvest
will be from two to three weeks earlier than
usual this season."
Covington Call: "The condition of the
wheat crop in this county has greatly i'm
thought it had been seriously injured, but it
has come out all right. The frost did not
infict so much injury as was at first thought.
Not many will have to replant cotton; a
good stand has generally been obtained"
Franklin Progress: "In the First district
it is now generally believed that the frost
which was so much feared at first, has not
damaged the wheat. There is some fear OF
rust by the farmers living outside of the
hills. Wheat throughout the Sixteenth dis
trict is in good condition and everybody has
finished planting corn. Very little cotton is
planted in the Sixteenth this year, grain be-
ing the favorite. Corn is looking remarkably

large crop. Hard times prevail here. At

A Democratic convention was held at
Henderson, in the First civil district of
Madison county, on Saturday evening last.
Delegates were elected to attend the county
convention, to be held in this city at an early
day. Resolutions were adopted that any
settlement OF the State debt whatever, before
it become final, must be ratified by the peo-
pie at the ballot-box, at an election held for
that purpose; or, in other words, they were
in favor of the Marks platform OF 1878.
Delegates were instruct to support these
resolutions first, last and all the time as long
as there was hope to getting them; but in
case they could not get this they were in
structed to get the next very best thing they
could rather than bolt the convention.
The Democrats in this section are anxious
for harmony between the two wings of the
party in order TO beat Alvin Hawkins, the
present governor, who is failure.
