CULLEoKA, July 12.-The critic of the
county correspondent wants the new |
and here it is: We had rain at on
house last week that lasted eight days. |
We can go further than that and tell |
him the result of that protracted rain
fall. Little or none of the wheat
in this section has been threshed, ana
as a consequence many hundreds OF
bushels are ruined. Some shocks are
grey with the rOotlets of the sprouted
grains, while others are actually be-
coming green with the wheat growing
on top. The oats that have not been cut
are falling down, and the potatoes not
vet dug are ready to sprout. The bright
prospects for a good crop to enable the
farmers to bridge over the hnanclal
chasm of lascyear have been oIlghIeo.
and a yard-stick would be convenient
thing with which to measure the faces
of some.
Now, dear farmers, we ladies do cor
daily dislike pessfInists, so don't give
up to despair. You may nave 10 90
without cakes and even biscuits for a rev
months, but listen, and we will give
you some cheering Information. Tne
| wives, daughters and, yes, sweethearLs
| too, will be ready for the occasion, ana
will prepare so many palataole dlsnes
from your fine corn that you Will not
sorelY miss your beloved biscuit. IL Is
| q fact, and sad one, that the chickens
and turkeys have died with llmDer-
neck, cholera, rheumatism and other
big-worded diseases, and the price of
hogs is going up, but we will not starVe.
