the week nave done the work OF
destruction and all tender vegeta-
ton is killed. All our planters
feel safe as they had all their seed
either planted or windrowed. The
eyes Of the cane are probably kill
ed, but the cane itself is not in
jured.
We hear nothing more about
the entertainment that was to be
given for the Church Square i'm
provement. Now is the time to
prepare for q fine entertainment
some time about Christmas, when
money will be plenty and people
are bent upon pleasure and spend
freely.
Monday we had the first freeze
and frost Of the season, a light
freeze and heavy white frost. We
do not believe it have a killing
effect on the cane, but the leaves
will turn yellow IN q short time,
and this means that our planters
had better be on the lookout for
something worse.
Nearly the entirely business

It ought to make our business
people think little anyhow.
The Democratic leaders have
come to the conclusion that the

intelligent enough to make a diff
ference of MISERY, hard time and
prosperity and plenty.
We take much pleasure this
week in reproducing an article

example of what a boy con do
when he is made of the right stuff
and be has the determination to
succeed.
The cane growers from many
sections report scarcity of labor
which renders the harvesting of
the crop difficult and slow. This
is perhaps due to the fact that
nearly all the cotton growers are
yet at home picking their cotton,
the fields being yet white with
opened cotton, aud we are of OPT
Mon that it will require several
weeks yet to save the cotton crop.
What about the sidewalk ordi-
nance recently passed, is it going

only one person complied with the

thought right. Why did the
council go to the trouble of franz
ing the ordinance unless it was to
make it effective.
