Special to the Gazette.
Bolton, Tex, June s.-This section has been
visited by very heavy rains during the past two
days. It began raining Friday morning about
3 o. clock and continued until noon. then it let
up, but began sgain at daylight yesterday morn
ing and continued without intermission until
midnight last night. The result is the ground is
as wet as it can be. However, if it clears up
now the farmers will yet keep up with their
work. They are nearer up with their
work than usual at this season of the year.
Most OF the corn IS now laid by, and good
crop is now assured, People are now saying
that corn will not be worth more than fifteen or
twenty ceuts per bushel this fall. The prospect
for a fine cotton crop was never so good. The
farmers are all in good spirits.
Business was never better in Bolton at this
season of the year. Real estate is now active
and there is more improvement going on than
foEssome years past. SS
