Crops, Blackberries, and Locusts.
Our friend w. H. Yeldell writes
us of the crops, and other thiegs
in the Liberty Hill section, as fol-
lows: I'VE have fine stands of cot
ton and corn, and the crop outlook
at this time is good. The small
grain generally is poor, beng in
jured by the late freeze. There are
exceptions, and good crop, of both
wheat and oats, are seen here and
there. No fruit except blackberries
and grapes. There are three kinds
of locuts this year, and their song is
heard throughout the land from
early morn till dewy eve. Plenty
of rain for the present"
