Hard Times.

Owing to the almost total lvss Of the oat,
wheat, and Corn crops In this County, ana be-
cause Of their Bhort crops OF cotton this peo-
pie are in greater financial distress than they
have ever been.
Many families, both white and colored are
now pinched for the articles of food which
are necessary for the suStenance OF lie;
We presume there are hundreds OF mmiiies
In this County who have not u bushel ot elth-
er, corn, wheat, or oats In their houses.
The supply Of meat amounts TO almost
A very large per cent of the farm horses:
mules, and cows are mortg"ged to their iull
value or more.
The merchants have male smaller collec-
tions than usual. and we presume this fact
will force them In many instances to be less
obliging than they otherwise would be.
For the reasons already assigned much
poor stock of all kinds Will no douot DC eA-
posed To public sale.
Nobody has the money to huT, and so far,
the stock which has been sold, has gone Tor
II seems to us that the outlook for business
generally is extremely discouraging.
The cation Shipmenst up TO the hrst OF De,
cember has been good as for the same period
last year, MS will appear by the figures given.
but there is no money left after paying deots
incurred In making the crops.
There will be heavy falling on IN tnS ne
shipments OF cotton during the month OF
December. and there will be almost no cotton
left in the county after the first January.

possibility OF shipping this spring more than
q third as much as was shipped last spring.
To adj to our misfortuneS. the high rate OF
interest has deprecated our landed estates,
mortgage which, together with the depricia-
tion Ia the market value OF farming lands,
and the RAPIDLY increasing debt would pre-
vent the farms from bringing ut public sale,
enough money TO satisfy their encumbrance.
Lands now seem to have almost no market
value for the reason that capitalists would
prefer to have ten per cent mortgage, rather
than to own the land.
