EDITOR GAZETTE:-
We are not in such good spirits
this week as we have been for some
time, The rain is running our crops
to a very great extent. Cotton has
fallen down badly and is rotting fast,
which will shorten our crops many
bales. There has been so much
rain that the ground is prefectly soft
and cannot support the weight of the
ears of corn, consequently it too,
must fall and rot. There is but one
consolation that is. we will make a fine
pea crop and if the people a gather
them they certainly a sell them at
a good price next spring.
We understand that the water is
very high in the Tallahatche bottom,
people have to ferry a long distance
at Ascalmore and Tippo, 1t has back
ed out from the lakes and Is playing
havoc with the crops. Several
bridges and fences have been wash
ed away.
We regret very much to announce
the death of Mrs. Margaret Holland,
who died on the first day of Septem-
Der. She had been afflicted with Il
cancer for three years or more but
was never confined to her bed until
about the last days of April 1888.
She was waited on by a professional
cancer doctor, but her case was be-
yond human skill and knowledge.
She was born in Yalobusha county in
1912, and joined the Baptist church
when a quite achild, and always lived
and led a good christian life. She
leaves a large family to mourn her
loss, but they ought to think, and
know, that what is their loss is her
eternal gain. To them we extend our
heartfelt sympathies.

DIED.

Again this week, Wo are called
upon to record the death of another
of Gfenada's most prominent eiti-
zens, Captain J. Is. Mcc0rd died last
Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia, while
en- route for his home In Grenada,
He had gone to Georgia a few weeks
ago, for the benefit of his health
which had for some time been fail
sgn but no one dreamed that his
situation was SO dangerous or that
the end was 80 near. Consequently
the news of his death came like q
thunder clap, aud was u violent
shock to the community.
Captain McCord was an upright,
enterprising man. a good and useful
citizen, who had for years been
identified with the best interests of
Grenada, and whose place in Il
community will be hard to fill. His
faithful loving wife was sick at the
time of his death, and for several
days the sad news was withheld from
her. She was very much Frustrated
when she did learn it, and for a while
her life was despaired of. She has
our sincere sympathy in her great af-
Fiction.

The final invention of a new haling
for cotton, the full particulars o,
which we give in another column is IA
matter of great congratulation fortht
farmers.
That the bagging trust thieves have
been circumvented is enough of itself
to make the farmers rejoice without
ceaseing, but that the substitute fol
ging should. be made of cotton is suf-
ticient to fill their cup of JOY to over
flowing. We think they ought to
hold a grand jollitication over the
event. Wedo not know Of anything,
any event of this character which has
ever heretofore caused as much deep
feeling as has this attempted bagging
swindle. 1t Is now u matter of princi-
| pie with the farmers to use no bag
ging at all. We heard one Ola
weather beaten veteran tell a mer-
chant a few days ago. II wouldn't
wrap my cotton up in bagging not il
you were to make me a present ofit.'
And we have heard a number of 9TH
ers reiterate the same sentiment.
As we said before it is not to the
knife and knife to the hilt, and there
will be no compromise on the part OF
the farmers. We glory in their spirit
We hope to see them stand tiatfooted
and unanimously immntable on this
point. The victory is theirs, ifthey do
not waver.
A sample of this new cotton bag
ging may be seen at Geo. Lakes.

Too Utterly Too,

Two couples sat down to two tables to play
Four games of a game they called skunk,
And agreed hat the losers the winner
should treat
To all they could drink, until drunk.
But they all went home dry, for the game
were a tie;
This may sound rather strange, but 'twa

Two to two is the way the first two cIme out
And the other two, two to two, too.

CHICAGO. May 5.-When trading opened
on Change today there was gooo IN

the BUYERS of oats and corn for May, how
ever, There was little disposition on the
part of the big operators to change the
price of wheat today There was fair
activity and promise of better prices
shortly after the opening, but on the whole
movement was heavy, and the range OF
prices narrow, with a lower tendency at
the close There was an absence OF fresh
argument, and even rumOrs were wanting
here May ranged at Sl39@Sl54c and
closed at S11Z. July S3H@S335c and S32gc,
and closed at S335c. a prominent operator
was active and to his selling was largely
due the lower tendency towards the close.
In the corn market the interest early
was in May and some shorts were Obliged
to again put the price to Sc, although
