DONALD, s. c.. April 27, 1891.
Donalds and Vicinity are all tranquil. The
farmers are making good use OF their time,
preparing and planting their crops II we
Judge the cotton crop planted by the amount
of fertilizer sold this season the crop will be
about the usual acreage. The difficulty with
Italy. and all the big war talk do not disturb
us in the least. The Coosaw law suit, is dis.
against the State rendered, but will 60 10 a
higher tribunal before 1t Is finally settled.
The fruit crop was not 30 seriously dam
aged as was at first supposed. There will be
plenty Of peaches and apples, cherries, &c. II
nothing happens TO them.
Corn continues to rule high In price The
demand exceeds the supply. The price OF
cotton however. does not change much. The
wheat and oat crops are promising. The
acreage planted Is small.
