Camilla correspondence NEWS, May 3d.:
We have had some good rains, and crops
are very promising. Corn and cotton
never were looking better at this season
The oat crop in this county will be light,
as the rains came too late. The fruit
crop, too, is abundant, and these rains
have secured the blackberries. The
LeConte pear trees are not so full of fruit
as last year. These pears, preserved as
ounces or other pears, are delicious
Melons are doing tolerably well. The
vines are vigorous, but the rains have
caused them to set but little fruit so far
hence very early melons will be scarce
Despite the cry of hard times, Camilla is
growing rapidly. Dwellings are being
built In all portions OF the town. Butler
Turner are building a brick ware
house, and the Drs. Wood a neat drug
store, New streets are being laid out,
and there is every indication of thrift.
Thomas Alligood, living four miles from
Cochran, has a mare 20 years old. 1t has
been Mr.. Allig0od's custom tor many
years past to turn the horse out in the
woods to Craze when she was not needed
to take him to church on Sunday. There
are two churches near Mr.. Alligood's
The Bethany Baptist church is about two
miles in one direction and a Methodist
church about mile in an opposite drec-
ton. Last Sunday there were no services
at Bethany, but there was preaching at
the Methodist church, and it being near
by Mr.. AlligoOd decided to walk over
there and leave the horse to rest. He ac-
cordingly turned her out, and he pro-
ceeded to the Methodist church. while the
horse struck swift trot In the direction
of Bethany. Arriving there and finding
the house closed, and no one present, she
turned and went back, and, passing home
in swift gallOp, proceeded direct to the
Methodist church, where she halted and
remained until services were over, when
her owner came out and accompanied her
home.

Franklin NeeoS: Mr.. q. p. Claxton, who
lives a mile from town, has the most re-
markable baby we ever saw The child
is now a little more than two years old.
Very early in it's babyhOOd it became a
victim TO fits, and the most skillful medi-
cal aid proved to be of no avail. But what
is so remarkable is, when it was not more

tense desire for tobacco. When anyone
would take a chew in its presence its lit
tie face would be lit with smiles as its
small, grOwthless hands stretched out for
it. This action of the little invalid was
noticed for some time, and finally
its father determined to give it
tobacco, Notwithstanding the strong
prOtestations of the family. 1t took il
eagerly and chewed it, swallowing every
thing. The child showed no symptoms OF
sickness from it whatever, and from that
it began the regular use of tobacco. This
produced a happy effect, and the child
soon began to fatten. Medical treatment,
of course. was dispensed with, and it is
now she chubbiest and most healthy look
ing of all of Mr. ClaXtOn's family. Its
recovery is attributed wholly to the use
of tobacco, but since 1t has been cured ii
seems not to crave the weed and refuses
to take it when offered; and now Mr..
ClaxtOn thinks it will never use tobacco
again. This is indeed a wonderful case.
