were taken. Tuesday the young lady was

seminary and placed just inside the from,
door. Miss Greer reached down to pick one
and the tarantula sprang from the bunch
and fastened itself to her finger. Miss

off her hand and it was instantly killed by
a gentleman present. A physician was sum-

Augusta Herald: What is the cotton
outlooks said reporter to a prominent
cotton factor. Well, he replied slowly,
it is rather hard question to
answer. The staple is coming in rapidly
and opening very fast IN the fields. The
indications are shat there will be better
price soon for cotton. but on the other hand
the yield will fall vastly short of even last
seasons. Augusta has received good deal
more cotton so far this season than on corr
responding days last year, but Of course this
increase cannot and will not hold out long.
The very heavy rains all over this section
in the past few days will very naturally
injure the cotton now open and not picked
and we may look for a lot Of stains coming
to market am very fearful lest the crop
be at least 25 per cent. off in this district
and do not look for 7,750,OO as the entire
yield OF the country.
