Rome Courier: In conversation Yesterday
with Capt. J. +. DALEY. Of Cross Plains. Ala,
we learn that one of the best corn crops for
many years, Is now well assured in Calhoun
aud Cherokee counties, and the cotton has
rarely promised better. except that It Is about
Ten days late. The sweet potato crop Is unpre-
ceuented. and garden vegetables were never
more prolific The same Is true of the other
counties Of North Alabama as a general thing.
though there are some small local exceptions.
Lhe corn crop on the uplands in
E-oyd, Polk, Chattooga, Walker and
the other counties composing the Sew
enth Congressional district is now so
near maturity that very large crops are GER
tam. On the river and creek bottoms il is
late, and Will need some more rain. The cot
ton IN this section has smoother growth of
weed than would promise very large crop,
nut % Is iruItIug spendidly, and at present it
indicates more than an average Weld, but Of
course the time of the first frost will materi-
aly Affect the crop. On the whole, the out
look Tor agricultural products in North Geor-
gla and Alabama Is cheerful ami full Of hope.
Atlanta Constitution: Late yesterday after
noon negro man made a desperate assault
upon an S-Year-Old daughter OF PatrOlman
hoyle- The patrOlman resides on Spencer
street, near the western limits Of the city.
1esteruay afternoon his wife sent her two
daughters, aged and years. to Lambert's
Earuen Tor some vegetables. The children
had performed their mission and had nearly
Eeacheu thelr home when negro man ap-
pFoache9 them and spoke The children were
alFalu OF the negro, and instead Of stopping
when spoken 70 started OF on a brisk walk
Il he negro then started towards them but
they quickly broke into a run. The ieud
commanded them 10 stop, and at the
same time drew revolver from
which he sent three bullets in quick sue
cession after the children. The ball passed
50 near the larger child that she heard it
whistle. After firing the three shots the
n gro turned and fed. The discharge of the
pistol was heard by Mrs. HOyle. who stepped
70 her front door and saw her children fleeing
from the negro, Of whom she made a good
observation Last night, when PatrOlman
h"yle returned to his home he was informed
Ehat had occurred, and given by his wife a
description OF the negro. which will probably
result IN his arrest. PatrOlman HOyle says
tlht the negroes living in the suburbs always
~ armed aud that shooting pistol is an every
lay occurrence. He thinks the negro only
wanted 10 frighten his daughters.
