they so backward, so say the oldest

planted and but few are even done
bedding cotton land on account of the

rain. The heaviest rain fell about lst
April that has fallen in many years,
which caused the small streams to do
great damage to the bottom lands,
The Bigbee river is very high,

pcci to make a cotton crop this year,
on account of the latcncss of planting,
and corn and cotton will come on to-
gcthcr, both needing c%ultivating at the
same time.
Did Gen. IIazcn speak of it in his
last report or not, or could it snow
without his predicting it.
We hear of one man mo name-no
