however, with tho favorable cir.
cumstances nothing else could be
expected Of the energetic people
surrounding CORTLAND. The abun.
dant supply Of rain will cause our
farmers 10 have big c%orn.cribs,
which Is greatly needed In this
locality. Cotton is looking exceed
Ing fine, and as yet, undisturbed
by worms, though II the ncwspa-
per accounts be true there Ia some
danger yet. Fodder pulling has
commenced in this vicinity. Our
good citizens are taking advantage
Of these beautiful showers and are
preparing turnip patches. Gar
dens were never better. Labor
plentiful and cheap. We feel that
our part Of the county is unsur'
passed in many respects. The lux
uries Of life this season are profuse-
ly lavished upon its citizens. The
fruit business has caused some
little excitement in our immediate
acknowledgements have been
rolling in from every direction fill
ed with the golden fruit which oul
country is adapted to. We have
shipped between 1900 and l,GOt
boxes Of fruit in the last week
$40 being the largest shipment foI
one day. This goes to prove tina
CORTLAND never lags in anything
Of a business nature. We are ai
indefatigable people, not only il
growing fruit Of most every kim
but we are king in raising tn
downy staple Of the Sunny South
With the cheerful outlook Of tn
coming harvest our town is fas
recuperating. Our estccmcd FRIEND
