MANA, July 31.-We had very nice
rain here Sunday evening, Both. but
the storm of the Goth did a great deal
of damage to corn. Much timber was
blown down. The hail cut the blades
on the corn into ribbons and broke
down much of it. 1t was a young tor
nado.
The farmers here are threshing out
their small grain, and the crop is not
banning out as they hoped. Mr.. p. S.
Early sowed half bushel of oats on a
small lot near his house, and threshed
out. II bushels, yield of thirty-four
to one. Mr.. Hill Smitherman thresh-
ed 81 bushels of wheat from Al sown;
but the general crop is not so good
here.
/. The dry weather is doing corn and
tobacco much injury. The farmers
are getting anxious to see a settled
rain come, so as to put the ground in
blowing order, that they may begin
sowing their winter oats and turning
wheat land. The price of wheat is so
low they are undecided as to the fu-
ture crop to be seeded.
The young people are looking for
ward to the 18th of August with high
anticipations of a pleasant time, and
we hope to see a big crowd out. with
well filed baskets.
Mr.. Cyrus Thompson will hold forth
here today upon Alliance issues.
Mr.. III. ID. Fletcher was up spending
a few days with his parents and

From The Tobac o Journal, July POI
Offerings OF leaf tobacco have been
considerably larger this week and the
demand has been degree bettet. Some
very good lots of leaf sold direct from
the planters wagon while shipments
from other markets figured conspicu-
ously in the receipts,
Filters from the medium to fine
quality were in strong demand and
went at better figures than for some
time while anything in the shape of
wrapper was just as eagerly taken.
Local manufacturers are working
more freely and buying stock for flu
ture use.
The reports from the crop this
week are rather discOuraging. The
dry weather still continues and tobac-
co in some sections is burning up
while in others it is buttOning and
making a slender and poorly formed
leaf. This severe drouth has touched
the crop at the most critical period of
its growth and unless there is a gener-
al rain soon the crop will drop to the
level of Il very poor one. All reports
this week are Of this same discOur-
aging nature.
Manufacturers are making fairly
good shipments and report business
some better. The following is the
stamp sale for the week:
