The cotton crop of Hunt county will
not be so great as il promised month
ago, says the Greeuvlie Banner In
many neighborhoods il has been cut short
by dry weather. But, taken altogether,
il will be the best crop the county has

ing the recent dry weather. Farmers

ditions.
The Fannin County Favorite is cheer
full. 1t says: Locally the prospect for
cotton crop is better than last year,
though it will not come up to the stand
ard of a full crop. Some complaint OF
the ravages of that dreaded pest, the
boil worm. There is, however, an in
creased acreage over last year, that will
bring the total yield of the county much
above the crop of 1889. The price now
paid for cotton, as compared with former
years, is good.
