THE COTTON CROP.
Summary of Reports from the Entire
south on the Outlook.

Summary of Reports from the Entire
south on the Outlook.
New Orleans Times Democrat.
The Times Democrat herewith presents
its report OF the progress of the cotton
crop during the month of July;
The consensus of opinion is TO the ef-
feet distinct improvement in the outlook
has occurred. 1t must, however, be re-
mombered that comparison is made with
the worst start ever known.
very large proportion OF the original
increase OF acreage has been abandoned.
and 1t is quite possible that no net in
crease has occurred,
Texas IS, probably, the best situated OF
the states, while Mississippi is the worst.
The Atlantic States have suffered some
what from drouth but the situation IN
that quarter has recently heen relieved.
to some extent, by liberal showers.
Louisiana, as a whole. has a very goJd
prospect. Arkansas Is also good The re-
ports from Alabama and Tennessee show
marked Improvement
The situation may be summed up IN
the statement that the crop is very spo. ted
and very late. At present, there is no
reasonable assurance OF anything more
than very moderate yield An early. or
even normal, date of frost would mean an
almost inconceivable disaster.

While we have no imperialistic proclivities
we OF Grenada College are certainly eXpan-
sionists in every sense of the word. Having
annexed the province of our good friend DIR.
Hughes. we are now casting about for more

ante friends object let them furnish US with
n new building and we will at once fall back

! possessions and see to 1t that it is not subject

The three literary societies. the Argonian
Delphian and Walball. have reorganized
and are as brim-full of enthusiasm as such
bright young girls should be. Can vasslng

young woman is an embrio politician, by
the time "a new girl reaches the front porch
she is invited in the most winning and con-
vincing tones to Join our society, the best
in the College, you know and the result
usually proves the truth of the old saying
that The early bird catches the worm"
II the building committee of the College
could be induced to help solve the problem
OF making u 'two-girl roon," accommodate
four girls, their trunks, bandboxes, etc. aud

Hosts of sweet-faced, bright, intellectual

making the old College brighten into almost
a renewal of her own youth. All Grenada is
alive to the blessings conferred upon the
littie city by such an influx of goodness,
youth and beauty into her midst.
We would like to give the entire roster of
