The result OF the whole matter is
this: NE only get two months for the

We shall have four months school.

Being on short visit to this groY.

prise at its growth and industrial
pursuits was peculiar. I expected to
find Mississippi Mills and but little
else, but find set OF merchants for
probity, aud straight forward dealing,
unsurpassed by any town Of its size,
II has been my pleasure to visit.in the
State; for courtesy and hospitality It's

VIC have made good many enquir-

est and have made some personal OBJ
servation In regard to the matter. All
our information tends 10 show the
crops three weeks later this year than
last. This applies to fruit and vege-
tables. as well rs cotton and corn. We
will sound this warning note to those
OF our farmer friends who are buying
supplies ON credit. Late crops, with
probably a long drouth in the summer
time, means short crop indeed. We
do not profess to be prophet or even
ones son, but the best way to lock at
the future is in its true light, robbed
Of all it, coloring. The corn crop Is
not two thirds planted now, while the
corn ought to be large enough to be
worked out. Cotton land could not
be prepared, and will, consequently,
be late in proportion to the corn. The
cold snap has set back the fruit and
vegetables so that May peach will
not be put upon the market this year.
The quality OF fruit, generally, will
most likely be good. The recent cold
spell killed out about enough 10 make
