Mr.. WIS. Pickens, OF, Brushy Creek,
this County, in his report to the State De.
partmento of Agriculture, dated May Soth,
says: 1.-THE efforts of farmers during the
early part of the Spring had put them
we'll up with their crop work. Ten days
OF vet weather inclusive, from Goth inst.
to date, has thrown them back, and grassy
crops are common but, taking into con-
sideration the very backward season, I
think the prospects for good crops of cot
ton, corn and potatoes are encouraging"

others happy, or be Grabbed, and make all
around you miserable? The amount Of
happiness you can produce is incalcula-
BILE, if you show smiling face and speak
pleasant words. There is no joy like that
which. springs from kind act or pleas
ant deed, and you may feel it at night
when you rest, and at morning when you
rise, and through the day when you are
about your duties. If you are not natu-
rally genial, cultivate q cheerful dispose
ton. A smile, costs no, more thap a,

Hon. H. NJ. Prince, of Pelzor, dropped
in to see us last Saturday, and showed us
an average stalk of his cotton crop. This
stalk was about fifteen inches high. and
came from q field of thirty acres. His
