Clinton. The farmers of this par
ish have cause to feel encouraged
about the prospects for better
weather. Not one farmer in one
hundred has run single furrow in
his field. It is the usual time of the
wear to plant corn. To say the
prospects are gloomy does not give
expression to the case. The univer-
sal opinion is that a large cotton
crop will not be planted. No fertll.
izers have been bought here or will
be furnished by the merchants this
year.
