We extract the following Item from
business letter received from cor

at may now be stated as a fact
that the Lcspedeza, except such as
was sown this year too late to germi-
nate before the freeze-which consti-

crop was killed down so that there 10
left barely sufficient to reseed itself.

soon to be issued to the overflow suf-
ferers of our county. We fail to see
how this is going to be done, as there
are no sufferers in the county, or at

woman or child In the county suffer-

last numbers and numbers of laborers
will not work even If good wages are
offered. Planting will begin within
The next few days and If these rations
should be brought here and distribu-
ted great numbers Of laborers, who
otherwise would be in their fields,
would be hanging around tho places
where they are issued, and would do
no work. The time for the issuing OF
rations here has not come aud we hope
that they will be kept away until they
