The correspondent of the Morning News
at Tennille writes as follows, under date
of Oct. y: Cotton is about exhausted in
the fields. The weather conditions have
been most favorable for picking, and prices
have been 50 much more favorable to the
producer than last year that it has stimu-
lated the energies of the farmers, and all
open cotton of any account Is gathered.

was so dry and the earth so warm that
il did but little damage. The drought Of
six weeks was broken yesterday and last
night by gentle showers, but these are

been on journey to the west, returned
last Saturday morning, accompanied by
his wife. They spent the day in town
rambling about until Saturday afternoon
when they went down to Jesup. There Is
quite little history connected with Mr.
