Dedr Ssataets-Wbile reading your
issue Of Sept. 1, my heart vent out in
dee pest sympathy 70 the two families
recently bereaved In Grenade, Mr.. aud
Mrs. John Garner and Mrs. A. Fregoe.
Fit is true that sorrow makes Us
wondrous kind, aud one touch OF nature
makes US akin. then l am sure that |
feel for those dear friends in the hour
OF their crushing SORROW.
Why all these sorrows should come
to US we do not know; but Of one thing
we may be sure, when one suffers he
knows how to sympathize with all
others who suffer. l remember Paul
Garner as a bright, dutiful, industri-
Gus boy, the pride of his mother, the
joy OF his father. How crushing the
blow when the news came to his fond
parents that he was dead.
Miss Fregoe was almost a stranger to
me, hut 1 saw enough of her to know
she must have been an exceptionally
bright and attractive girl. How awful
must have this sorrow been 10 her
mother.
My heart always turns 10 dear old
Grenada, and l rejoice in all her sue
cess, aud l weep with her In all her
sorrows.
Mrs. Lewis health is poor; my own
is quite good
Truly,
T. w. LEWIS.

THE CKor IN MrssIssrrPi.


F. A. Shingleur. with Offices at
Jackson and Grenada, has issued a
circular concerning cotton conditions
in Mississippi which will prove OF In
terest. 1t is clear and concise, as
follows.
"Replies received from most reliable
merchants, farmers and bankers
throughout the entire central portion
of the State Of Mississippi, indicate,
that without an exception, the present
crop OF cotton promises 10 be the poor
est even raised In that section of the
belt.
The ~conceusus of opinions received
indicates a yield OF 374 per cent less
than that of last year,..which as we all
know, was a comparatively short crop.
In addition to this miserable condition,
the crop is three weeks later than that
Of last year.
THE best reports are received from
the southern portion OF the State,
which comprises a comparatively small
area OF the lands on which the above
estimates are made. 1t appears that
in making these figures, full benefit
has been given for favorable weather
during the month OF September, and a
comparatively late frost.
"Opinions regarding the develop
ment OF the crop during the month of
August are conflicting. Some report
an Improvement, and others assert
that a marked deterioration has taken
place. 1t appears that the bottom
lands have improved and the hill
lands have deteriorated, one about off,
sets the other. Complaints OF ravages
from the boil worm Ia some localities,
and general complaints of shedding
during the latter portion OF 1.-THE month.
Summing up the situation, the cotton
crop In this section is unprecedentedly
short. In the first place, a large
portion of the best lands have been
abandonded on account OF excessive
wet weather, which afforded the
farmer poor opportunities for cultiva-
tion, thus the acreage is cut down to
less than that of last year. The lands
saved were cultivated during the con-
tinued rains, which caused the de-
velopment of lateral roots instead OF
the long tap root, which Is essential
for making a good cotton crop. In
this connection wish to state, that In
our opinion this is the reason cotton
has not shown some improvement
during the month Of August, which in
an ordinary season would have been
considered very favorable weather.
The plart lacks vitality and cannot
rccuperate. Should we have a frost
on an average date, additional damage
will result.
