gathering their crops. Corn IS turning
out well, but ne will have to drop down
q notch or two from the first estimated

large as was first estimated. The ginners
are Kept quite busy, and are running all
dey and por1ion Of the night to keep up.
Although the cotton crop will not be az
large as expected, it is no unusual thing
to hear some Of our farmers say they will
make bale per acre the present year,
which goes to show an Improvement in
their methods of farming over previous
years.

the fire and hastened to the scene. He first
aroused the family, and then went and
