with us and never ended.
Mr.. Robert Sizemore of Reynolds county,

however.
At this writiug-Tuesday morning-it APP
pears "a though the longest autumnal dry
spell this country has known for years, is at

downfall is meagre, and as yet the dust is
not well laid. But the signs are propitious,
aud no doubt the long DELAYED wet spell is |
at hand. Wheat has suffered greatly, nor is |
it certain the damage can now be remedied !
by the most copiOus rains.
