tickets, and are ready to continue the
good work.
We learn that the crop at Gibson
is yielding well. There has been lit,
tie damage there.

Monday at 25 cents per quart, and
they went like hot cakes.

first case from here last Tuesday.
We believe he was FIRST last year also.
Berries in fields, exposed to the
weather, are the worst sufferers.
Those in gardens, in rich soil, or pro-
tected by trees, etc., will yield well.
We learn that the crop here is con-
siderably damaged by a rust, or
blight, caused, it is supposed by con-
tinued wet weather. The yield will
be short in consequence.
A rumor reached here last Monday
that hail storm had almost ruined
the crop at Gadsden last Saturday.
A note from friend says it sis all
mistake. All say that they never
