LIFELONG DROUGHT ENDED.
s, the 7iros told Won, the long drought
ended Yesterday. and the farmers rejoice,
frpoN they clu plough their lands and do
q .r,at deal Of delayed work in putting in
small grain. OF which. II is said, large
crop will Dee sowcd. II has been for three
w,,k, impossible to plough. The rain was
very hard. and, of course, damaged cotton
somewhat. Il is very remarkable that in
the State certainly in all this section Of ~
not mn ounce Of stained cotton has been
marketed all having opened since the rain.
i /, the most beautiful cotton crop, rs well
BIS the finest staple. ever gathered IN the
state. Wake county'S crop appears TO be
NJ, best I'm the state taken in its entirety.
In au adjoining county (JOhnstonl it Is
c's'med that the crop is half the average
only.
