The month which contains the day that

country hrs run its course, and the month

The third of our Summer months is here,
and the prospects for fair yields of the val
liable cereal named arc cheering. Should
we not be thankful to Him who Is ever at
work in his providence, controlling, arrang-
ing, overriding everything for the good of
his creatures.
We are warranted in saying that the
yield of tomatoes of the district meets the
inost sanguine expectations of truckers, and
she canning factory at the Pine will not
want for supply of same. They are large,
beautifully shaped, aud TO our taste, delic-
ious. The heavy crop is foreshadowing
of plenty work for the colored women and
children of the neighborhood of the factory;
for they are the principal employees who

In these times of political perplexities
and over-turnings and devastations OF
strikers the cry of Hard Times has reached
this isolated section. We think that those
who are straining their lungs are little
premature. No one of whom we have
knowledge is suffering for bread and there
is sufficient water in wells to supply all
reasonable wants. The cry is fanciful, a
wild imagining. We have "goodly land
and large" and up TO date it is demonstrate
