Money Miscarried.

Tignor Brothers, who own a large
store at Wicomico Church, recently
put $500 in letter and directed il
to the bank at Kilmarnock. They
mailed the letter at Wicomico Church,
but the bank says that the letter did
not reach them. 1t is evident that
the money was stolen, but where to
place the guilt is problem.

NO DIFFERENCE IN RESULTS

Crops are sometimes little short IN
the Southwest, but unusual drouths,
which occur once in ten to fifteen
years, seem to show how good the
crops may be in even the worst of sea-
sons. I. is q fact well known to all
careful observers that when severe
drouths occur, the crops always yield
far beyond the common expectation.
1t will be thus this year. We hear much
of damage to corn and cotton crops,
and yet many farmers claim to have
fair crops. It will be well if those who
have suffered must set about learning
why their more fortunate neighbors
have suffered less. It will take worse
drouth than any we have reason to ex-
pect to seriously shorten the cotton
crop. And what If it does? Whatever
is taken from the yield is added on tc
the price. So the results Of droutt
to the cotton crop are about as big one
way as the other.
