ETA JANE, July 3O.--we have had an
abundance Of rain during the past week,
and farm work is practically at stand
still. The creeks and smaller streams have
overfowcd their banks and done consider
able damage to the crops, and uplands are
badly washed in places. Broad River has
kept within its banks and finer prospect
for crop VIC have never seen than is now
in its valley. The crops that have not beeu
effected by the overflow or washing rains
are good-both corn and cotton. We don't
think we are overestimating the prospect
when we say that should no other disaster
come upon il an abundant supply Of corn
for two years. ..as=seals IN this immediate
vicinity.
