This day was ono of benefit 10 all it seems,
as all seemed to enjoy il, and gave strict nj
| iention to all Of the exercises. The singing
| was splendid, there being quite number of
hymns sang.
A rcces, Of one and half hours was taken
in which q most appetizing dinner was en-
joyed. The day being clear, and the tenn
perature mild there was every
thing one could ask for good
cd time," except the congregation
being consi lerably disappointed in not be-
ing able to hear some speakers who we're
| expected, viz: Mr.. Josiah Crudup and Rev.
j. A. Bell. The latter was at his work at
Carlisle, and Mr.. Editor, many think you
missed treat.
We had plenty of rain last Moaday night
and Tuesday. There was considerable
| damage done to cotton, as large quantity
Of it was open, aud was beaten out and
muddied. Some fodder was pulled, and
badly damaged. Some young corn was not

very much benefited, and 50 were gardens.
So the ain did much good, as well rs some
damage. There is much writing at present
among the TINES correspondence about the
shortnees Of the cotton crop. That has been
the foregone conclusions down here for some
time. If one had kept up with the weather
crop report it would be seen that that was
the case over the entire State. While we
have large weed aud some very good
cotton, it does not come up to what was ex-
pected Of it oncc. l believe this section is
blessed with the best all-round corn crop
that it has had in long time, and there is
large quantity of Sorghum cane this year,
and it is turning out splendid per acre,
The trouble is, there is an insufficency
Of mills to make it up.
And now one crop on the housewives 81 iic
of the farming industry, is loosing fast, j. e.
the chickens. A disease has attacked the
chickens Of many people, their heads getting
sore and swelling up, and causing death,
and they are going fast. 1t seems to be
b b,dy Is getting TO be afraid to enjoy fried
chicken.
Mr.. g. NJ. Fleming, the II. II. Agent had
very fine and large hog to die of hydro
phoba last week. Those who saw the hog
said that it suffered intensely, squcaling
and swapping everything that came in its
woy.
Cotton is being gipned quite largely here
now, or was last week. 1t was g,nned, al
most given away, and then shipped on the
next train that went North The price is
so low the planters are greatly discouraged
and gloomy, and it seems that ssme are Civ
ing up hope of paying up debts end being
left men again. With cotton costing six
cents to make, it is said, and being sold at
81, farmers who contracted debts under l0c
aud sc cotton, are in the same predicament
as the frog in the we'll coming up three feet
per day, and falling back forty inches.
Mr.: j. p. Thomas, Jr., has moved into his
new residence in front of the Methodist par.
