OGDEN, April "a considerable part
of the cotton crop in this section was
planted before the recent heavy rains,
and there is a difference Of opinion
among the farmers as to whether or not
it will come up. The ground has been
so thoroughly packed by the heavy
rains that it will be hard for the seed to
germinate and come through the hard
crust that has formed on the surface.
Some of the seed have rotted, but 1t Is
generally thought that there Is sound
seed enough for stand. If the wealth
er gets warmer and we have light
shower Of rain within a few days. we
may get a stand. Otherwise it is doubt
full. Very few have planting seed
enough to plant twice.
Those who have bottom lands, say
that they are washed so as to be prac-
tically of no use, at least for this year.
The people Of Antioch were expect
ing to have the pleasure of hearing Dr.
S. A. Webber preach on the third Sab.
bath: but owing to the inclemency OF
the weather, he failed to get here. Our
pastor Rev. w. H. Airail, was on hand,
however and preached very instruct
i've and impressive sermon. We nope
DR.. Weber will arrange so as to preach
for us sometime soon.
Our sick list Is not so long as at my
last writing. Mrs. D. L. Evans, Mrs.
Sarah Campbell and Mrs Samuel foag
about make up the list now, I believe,
and all of these, learn, are GONZALES

In the early part Of the year THE EN-
ENQUIRER was always a day behind
time in getting to Ogden; but for the
last month or so, it has been coming IN
on time. We are very grateful, and
hope it will continue to do so. We un-
derstand, however. that when 1t does
fail to come on time, that it Is not due
to any negligence on the part OF the
publishers.
We are glad to again get the Sunday
school lesson from the THE ENQUIRER.
I have heard several express them
selves as being pleased with it.
Pleased with the result Of the dispen-
sary election in Rock Hill? rs. K. j."
felt more like throwing up his hat and
shouting over that election than he ever
did over any election. All praise to the
good people Of Rock Hill who said mo
dispensary."
Mrs. S. E. Steele received news few
weeks ago of the death Of her brother,
Mr. George R. Ashcraft, in Mckinney,
Cleveland county, Ark. He died on the
2Sth of March from the effects Of grip,
and leaves a widow and six or seven
children to mourn the loss Of devoted
husband and loving father. He was
about 49 years Of age. The deceased
was born in this state: but when about
Is years old, he moved. with his father
and the rest Of the family, to Arkansas.
His father died in about year after
they went out there. He (the deceased
stayed a few years after his fathers
death, and then returned to this coun-
try. In the year 1888 he again moved to
Arkansas, where he remained until his
death. The deceased was well known
in this community and has many
friends here who learned Of his death
with much regret. s. X. J.
