and all wish for both himself and the
lady of his choice much joy and happi-
ness. Many farmers had already
planted a considerable part of their
cotton crops when the rains came Fri
day last and a lot Of corn had been
put in. Opinions differ as to whether
the seed. has been hurt by the contin-
ued rains and cold, but it is certain
that the land has been injured very
much and it is argued by some farmers
that the fertilizers have been rendered
almost valueless on account of leach
ing. Warm sunshine, however, would
strengthen their hopes and allay much
of their fear.
