Notes from Correspondents.
NORTH GEORGIA.

Banks--A1l crops very badly in the
grass, owing to excessive rain. Corn in
bottom land damaged by the same
cause. Cotton poorly fruited.
Bartow-Crops very grassy, on ac-
count of excessive wet weather. Some
farmers have quit cleaning crops, as
they think working will injure them
more than the grass. A part of the
wheat and oat crops sprouted in the
shock. Extreme hot weather at this
time, and rain needed.
Chattooga-The cotton crop is looking
comparatively we'll, though much of il
was injured by the wet weather. Up
land corn looking well, bottom land
| very much injured by the rains. Wheat
and oats We're also badly damaged il
| the shock by the wet weather. Wealth.
er very hot now and rain needed.
Cherokee--In some sections the con.
tinued rains have damaged lowlands.
Upland corn fine. Cotton had too
much rain. Since the dry weather
commenced we have had partial show
ers. A general rain will soon be
needed.
Cobb-Cotton will make too large a
weed. The western part of the county
has had plenty of rain, while in the cas-
tern part it has been too dry for three
weeks.
Dade-On account of excessive rains
the corn prospect is not so good as last
report, though an abundance will be
made. Wheat and oats did not suffer
much damage IN the shock, and the
yield is good. Mr.. Thomas Little made
seven hundred bushels of wheat on
thirty acres. Hog cholera IN some
Dawson-ft Is difficult to form n
proper estimate of the corn crop. as bot
tom land cogp is far below the average
while upland is far above. The damage
to the bottom land was caused by the
excessive wet weather. AT present we
have every indication of dry weather,
and crops are already suffering some for
rain. Three weeks dry weather would
almost ruin our corn crop, Cotton is
NOW doing fairly we'll, but too much
rain has causedit to run to weed
Floyd-On account of excessive rains
cotton has failed to set it's usual amount
OF fruit, and again much of it---at least
one-fourth-has suffered from neglect
on account Of wet weather Same thing
applies to corn. ~
Forsyth-Cotton is fifteen DAYS late.
though it is fruiting fast since the rail-,
ceased. Lowland corn drowned out Up
land and high bottom good when it was
worked In time. Forty per cent. of all
crops grassy on account of wet weather.
The wheat and oat crop good, but dam
aged considerably afteAcutting. Cotton
doing we'll with the sunshine and fair
weather.
Franklin-Corn on lowlands is mate
rally injured. Upland corn generally
tne and doing well where it has been
properly cultivated. Cotton is small
and from ten to fifteen days late. The
three weeks drouth after so much rain
is telling on our crops.
Oordon-Corn in critical condition.
So much late corn has not had necessary
work. Cotton two weeks late.
+ Gwinnett-Excessive rains have COM
PEELED the farmers to permit their crops
to go unworked, and therefore grass has
injured all crops very much. Cotton is
making weed, but not fruiting we'll. II
has been too wet for bottom land corn.
Habersham-The heavy rains have in,
5ured the corn on bottom land very
much, and IL the present dry weather
continues long upland cotton will be cut
OF. Some hay and oats have been de-
stroyed by the freshets,
Hall--Both corn and cotton have bees:
badly injured by the wet weather.
Farmers could not work their crops.
Hundreds of acres of the best corn in
the county was killed by overfows.
Crops on upland are fine.
Haralson-By the wet weather crops
on bottom land were injured. The ary
weather with excessively hot days has
also damaged our crop prospect.
Hart-Corn will not make a full crop.
Two wet on lowland, and all lands have
suffered for work. Cotton will be short,
